Ubuntu Networking :: 9.10 - How To Automount NAS On Login
May 3, 2010
This computer is a little netbook that I haul around with me. it's running ubuntu 9.10. In the office, I have a NAS networked on a Windows network. I can access the filesystem in Nautilus using Samba. I'm connecting to the network wirelessly, at wlan0.The folder I want to access shows in Nautilus as
smb://diskstation/storage%20central/
And in Terminal it shows as:
Code:
jackelliott@TheJackUbuntuNetbook:~$ ls .gvfs
storage central on diskstation
How can I set ubuntu up so that when it has connected to the office network it also automounts that Windows share?

I run ubuntu 9.10, and my wife runs winxp. I am trying to setup an automount of her storage (D) drive in my fstab. here is the line in fstab:
The share mounts with no errors, but when i go into palces and view the share, it is blank, totally empty. I can create and delete documents here, but the next time I open the share, i cant see anything. If i connect to the share using places>connect to server, everything is fine. If i connect using places, network, and browse to her machine, it works just fine.
Today i did a fresh install of karmic, installed smbfs, added the above line to fstab, same issue. I have searced and searched but I haven't found a problem exactly like this. This setup has been working fine until sometime recently. I cant be sure exactly when it stopped working, or why. The reason I need it to automount is I have several applications that point to that drive. It is worth noting i have tried several variations on the line in fstab, all with the same results.

In 9.10 I could access my auto-mounted network location with something like /home/user/.gvfs/sharename. This was particularly useful for F-Spot because that's the only way I could get it to import photos from my server.However, in 10.04 I no longer have a .gvfs folder and can't find a way to import photos from my server in F-Spot.

Making wifi work with ndiswrapper disabled usb automount. This happened on several ubuntu versions, including 10.10.
After following the directions given in this post [URL] usb automounting stopped working.
I fixed it this way:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/modules
Added these lines to the file:
Code:
usb_storage
usbhid
Save and exit, worked after reboot or restarting network.
usb automount troubles could also be related to legacy floppy settings in BIOS, see

I wonder how to set my computer to connect to a server on start up. I hate to reload my pictures in shotwell every start up. I can connect through ssh connection, but I want it done automatically on start up. I'm not an expert, so break it barny style, or link me to a guide that I haven't found yet. Ubuntu 10.10 64Bit

I'm making a clever backupsystem based on nfs and rsync.Basically, I export folders from the clients to a backup server, and the backup server processes them and makes backups.The backupserver mounts the folders during startup, but if a client restarts, then I guess it would unmount from my backupserver, right?What can I do to make it automount the folder whenever the client gets back up again?All the clients are static servers without much interferance, without any risk of external people tampering with them and without internet access. Security is not an issue, and any kind of shady compromisingcripts will do.However, installing software on them is tricky as I have to download packet for packet and transfer them via usb manually.

I have 4 machines; all multiboot. I want each machine to have full rw access to file shares on each other machine, AND, full rw access to the other partitions on the same machine home folder for UNbooted OS's. I imagine Samba will NOT handle all these configurations? What else do I have to do, so that, for example, if I have 2 machines on, and I boot up a third machine in another room, it will auto mount the other 2 machines' shares, and it export it's own shares to the other 2 machines? I want also each machine to have full rw access to shares on the UNbooted partitions of each machine.

I've very new to linux, so please excuse my ignorance. I am trying to setup a number of servers to authenticate against my Windows Server 2003 active directory. I have successfully done this with one computer (Dell Optiplex 755), but I can?t seem to get it to work with my servers (Dell PowerEdge R710). I am using Fedora 11. I have setup samba and pam and have successfully joined the network. Everything with winbind seems to be working properly and I can get all the user info, etc. When I log in with a local account, everything is fine. If I try to log in with an account from my domain through SSH, I see the message Code:/usr/bin/xauth: creating new authority file /home/apkelley/.XauthorityAfter that, nothing happens and it is as if I haven?t connected to anything. If I try to log into the actual server using the graphical interface, it starts logging me in, shows a blank screen for about a second, and then returns to the login screen as if nothing has happened.I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for how I might fix this problem or how to find out more information about the error.Here are my smb.conf and system-auth files:
/etc/samba/smb.conf
Code:

I am having a problem logging into my remote gentoo (2.6.23) linux machine using my hostname from my Windows XP machine using cygwin. I can login using my ip address, but not the hostname.
This works:
$ ssh me@xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
This does NOT work:
$ ssh me@my_hostname
ssh: connect to host my_hostname port 22: Connection refused
I have verified that my hostname is indeed "my_hostname" on my linux machine by using the "hostname" command.

I bought a Buffallo Router WZR-HP-G300-NH with NAS, and I am able to mount the NAS with the "Connect to Server" drop down menu in Nautilus as a "Windows Share". All good so far. The eventual idea is that I would like to write my backups to this NAS drive. I can't find this drive in /mnt or /media. Not sure where to look. Because I can't find it in anything other than Nautilus, I can't direct a backup or sync to a location I can't find. If I can solve this problem, the next thing I will need to do is figure out how to automount on startup.
I am using several Ubuntu based Gnome distributions of various ages, oldest about 10.4, all behave the same (one Zorin, another Mint, another Ubuntu, 3 kids, no viruses!!!).

I know how to automount ntfs, what I don't know is how to automount a 2nd ext4 partition. I know I can use code...
What am I doing wrong? Also how can I read and write to and form the root of the partition with out opening it as root?
This is not the partition I have ubuntu installed on, this is a 2nd partition.

I have a problem that I can not decide for 2 weeks. Here is what happened: On my laptop, installed just Windows XP. In the past, when I installed the second system, Ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 (for dual-boot), Ubuntu asked the administrator password for access to just Windows XP partition. I mean, that just Windows XP partitions were visible, but for the entrance (mount) needed a root password.
Now, in Ubuntu 10.04, Windows XP partition mount automatically and Ubuntu does not require the root password. I do not like it very much.
Tell me please, what do the settings at the time of installation of Ubuntu for just Windows XP that the system would be asking root password for just Windows XP partitions? Is this possible? I think - yes. Because in the past the default 9.04 and 9.10 asked for a password.
PS: I must say, as I put Ubuntu and just Windows: 1. Be installed just Windows XP, giving it 20 GB space 100 GB hard drive. </span>The remaining 80 Gigabytes leave out the implications.

today when I inserted my usbpen in the laptop, automount did not work. I tried another pen with same result. I checked with mountmanager and both pens were working and actually mounted them manually, but automount which worked perfectly yesterday now is dead.I found a workaround installing usbmount from standard repository and now automount works again but usbpens are mounted in /MEDIA/usbx instead with their names as before and I have to open a root terminal tu unmount.
Unfortunately I use a pen for backup with unison and changing the mount position I have to modify unison profile every time, which is pretty uncomfortable.The problem May arise from the fact thgat yesterday I tried to manually compile and install the canon driver for my printer and trying to solve dependencies I had to compile and install Glib-2.26 pango-1.28.3 and gtk+2.22 from their sources.I did not manage to get a working canon driver but i may have made a mess with usb automount function.program/service is responsible for usb automount in ubuntu 10.10 so that i can reinstall or reconfigure it.

My goal is to prevent gnome from mounting and opening up a file browser when any device is plugged in (USB, CD/DVD) for a Desktop User account. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook RemixI modified several settings in Nautilus (Edit --> Preferences --> Media (tab). I Selected "Never prompt or start programs on media insertion" and unchecked "Browse media when inserted".I restarted the system, but when I plug in a USB mass storage device the file browser window still appears and the device is mounted.I dug down into gconf and found the following registry keys that I believe are of interest:
/apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount (unchecked)
/apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount_open (unchecked)
/apps/nautilus/preferences/media_autorun_never (checked)
Has anybody run into this problem and found a solution? Modifying the keys I mentioned above worked for everyone else that has asked the "disable automounting" question (that I've found). Some very old posts mentioned gnome-volume-manager, but it is not installed on my system.
EDIT:This seems to only happen when the Netbook Launcher is started. If Netbook Launcher is removed from the list of startup programs and the system is restarted, I can insert devices without getting a pop-up window and without the device being mounted.

I cannot force Ubuntu to open my data DVDs upon their insertion. It is present, but it won't automount. Of course, in /etc/fstab are no indications for removabledevices, but this is correct, I think.

I bought myself an inexpensive USB mp3 player the other day, thinking that I could sync it just like I do my digital camera and thumb drives. No such luck.
The player is identified by 'lsusb -vv' as follows:

I installed Storage Device Manager and can't automount my Windows 7 partition. It doesn't show up in Storage Device Manager. When I mount the partition, it comes up as /media/286CC2A6397A0F2A instead of sda# like normal drives.

I just upgraded to Mythbuntu 10.04 (no fresh installation) and I don't know why but my external eSata drive is no more automatically mounted.The XFCE4 config is set to automount hotpluggable and external drives but nothing happens.The eSata drive is neither automounted when switched on before booting nor when switched on while the system is running.I'm not sure, but it's possible that it worked once or twice after the upgrade. Now, it's dead - I have to mount it all manually.With 9.10 it worked like charm.It's our HTPC and my wife is already making jokes again about her nerd-husband always needing to upgrade a perfectly running system.

After some weeks of use and occasional unplugging-when-busy, my 500GB external USB hard drive no longer will automatically mount when I plug it in. The blue light lights up when I plug it in, but there is no automounting behavior. Also, when I type
Code:
tom@zeppelin:~$ sudo mount -a
nothing happens. The result of fdisk:
Code:
tom@zeppelin:~$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and I am trying to automatically mount a windows share by following the advice in this Ubuntu wiki page [url]
However, when I edit the /etc/fstab file as advised and then "sudo mount -a" I get the following message in the terminal window:

how to fix this (10.04 Ubuntu x64):
A couple of weeks ago, my CD/DVD drive stopped working. I'd put in a disk, the light would flash, but it wouldn't appear as a mounted drive. Thinking the drive had finally died, I bought a new one. Same problem.
The drive is recognized by BIOS. I have it as try to mount first in BIOS, and if I put in the Ubuntu boot CD, it boots.
If I put
Code:
/dev/sr0/media/cd-dvdudf,iso9660defaults00
into /etc/fstab, and then mount -a, the drive contents appear and are accessible. However, as expected, the system chokes on boot if there isn't a CD in the drive, and I have to mount -a manually every time I start the system. Ugly.
So this is pretty clearly a software OS problem. how I can get the automount for my CD/DVD drive back?

Situation is that NEITHER Linux Mint 9 NOR Ubuntu Maverick will automount my usb or cdrom? I circumvented by manual mounts thru fstab of my usb stick and usb hard drive. Now I go to burn an iso and find that my cdrom is not detected.
mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 does not do the trick, I cannot burn.
What in the world could I have done to my system ? I think blkid is ok. Win7 burns the iso to cd just fine. All OS on same CPU (grub2). I have done some searches but with minimal success.

I'm trying to get some of my NAS storage to mount on my xubuntu 10.04 box at boot time. I have it in fstab, and when I run
$sudo mount -a
it mounts just fine. However, I have to run that manually, I can't get it to just mount at boot time. Here's the entry from my fstab: [URL] So like I said, manually running mount -a works fine, I just can't get it to do it automatically at boot time. I feel like the auto option should take care of that, and that's what I've read around here, but it's just not working.
