Ubuntu Networking :: Mount NFS - Failed To Resolve Server (Name Not Known)
Mar 3, 2011
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with all the updates. I'm in an NFS/NIS networked environment. My mounts eventually work, but mountall fails with this message in /var/log/boot.log:
mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server myservername: Name or service not known
Here's the entry in /etc/fstab:
myservername:/nfs/share/path /mount/path nfs
rw,_netdev,bg,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
Here's the host entry in /etc/hosts:
123.45.678.901myservername
I've noticed that mountall seems to be trying to mount my share before it has network access.

I'm trying to connect to the other computers on the network in my house, but, when I try to view the main file folders it tells me "unable to mount location: failed to mount windows share" I've looked everywhere I can think of and have done everything they've told me to do, and I still can't get it to work.

I am trying to access a DVD mounted on a machine running Fedora12 (192.168.0.105). I thought this should be possible with NFS, but the above error message is what I keep getting, no matter what I try.
Here is my mount command:
Code:
mount 192.168.0.105:/mnt/dvd -t nfs /tmp/scaleo
The Fedora 12 machine has the NFS server running, and the corresponding entry in /etc/exports is
Code:
/mnt/dvd *(ro)
I thought this might be a firewall problem, but it persists even if I turn firewalls off on both machines (client as well as server.) Also, doing
Code:
ssh 192.168.0.105
is OK, so what is wrong with the route?

I now tried
Code:
mount 192.168.0.105:/mnt/dvd -t nfs4 /tmp/scaleo
and it seems the mount succeeded. So, instead of nfs, one must write nfs4?

I keep getting this, ever time I try to map a shared drive on other systems with my small network. 'unable to mount location failed to retrieve list from server'. This used to work.
Main System UNBUNTU 10.10, GNOME ver. 2.32
Sys2 Windows XP Pro, SP3
Sys3 Windows XP Home SP3
[code]....
Mine is used as a server for the above, and also for me to work on. For some reason, I keep getting permission failure. Setting up a share on sys2. sys3, sys4, sys5 can see and read it. My main sys cannot. None of the systems can see the Main one & the main one cannot read any of the others.

My network was running happily with no problems. After clicking "Places," then "Network," I double-clicked "Windows Network." My wife's laptop appeared merrily ready to be clicked. I browsed through and accessed the "Public" folder. Ubuntu auto-mounted the "Public" folder on the Windows Vista machine to the desktop.
THE REASON:I wanted to change the icon to a disk so it would mimic a "mapped" drive like in Windows. I right-clicked the shared folder mounted on the desktop, clicked "Properties," and then clicked the picture of the folder. I then clicked through to "/usr/share/icons/Human/scalable/devices" and selected the "drive-harddisk.svg" icon. The icon changed and I could still browse. I unmounted and re-mounted the folder with no problems, then changed back the disk to the regular folder icon.
THE PROBLEM: After restarting the computer, if I click "Places," then "Network," then double-click "Windows Network," I'm greeted with the following error message: Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server.
WORKAROUND: Opening Firefox and typing smb://IP-of-wife's-laptop shows the share list. I can open and access the "Public" folder no problem.

It seems this is a common problem. I used Samba to configure and connect the computer running Ubuntu 11.04 with my Windows Visa workgroup. This is a wired, not wireless, connection.
In Ubuntu, under Network, I can see the name of the other computer (NOVA_MORAI), but when I click, I get the error:
Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server
I tried the nmblookup command, here is the output:
eleos@Planet-Morai:~$ nmblookup NOVA_MORAI
querying NOVA_MORAI on 192.168.1.255
192.168.1.2 NOVA_MORAI<00>
And:
eleos@Planet-Morai:~$ nmblookup -A 192.168.1.2
[Code]....
There it it. But when I try the findsmb command, it does not show up.
The error message seems common, but I have been trying solutions all day, and I am still not getting a connection.

My network has several machines on it. They are all connected to a single router. Two of the machines are running Windows Vista, one Windows XP and one Fedora 11. When I go to places.network, I see an icon that says Windows Network. If I click on it, I get the message: Unable to mount location, Failed to retrieve share list from server. When I had Ubuntu running on this machine, I had no problem seeing and connecting to the Windows Vista machine.

I'm having trouble connecting to my freenas server.
It's part of my windows network and when I try to connect to it,I get this message: Unable to mount location,Failed to retrieve share list from server.
Is there something I need to enable on the server or my OS(CIFS or something)?

It's been awhile since I posted anything which is a good sign my install has been working well and I have been able to handle most everything. However, I'm not able to handle this issue. I recently installed F11 and everything went well. But, when trying to see my other computers on the local network, I cannot. I receive this error message: Unable to mount location Failed to receive shared list from server. I understand the message as it is obvious, but do not know how to fix it.

I've tried to get an opensuse box I have to share a directory via NFS. I've failed each time, but I thought that the third time, I'd enlist some help from the forums, if I could. how do I know that the nfs server and not the client is the problem? Short answer is: I don't! That's why nfs (and many netwrk problems) are laborious, you're troubleshooting needs to take place at both source and desitination. Next question, what do I have set up so far? Well, I did download the nfs server kernel stuff (two months back) and /etc/init.d/nfsserver start seems to get set up OK. No errors and the daemons nfsd, idmapd, mountd area all running. So, I *think* that part is OK. I have the share set up properly in /etc/exportfs and have "exportfs -r" it.
OK, now onto the trickier stuff: the client and iptables. On the client pinging to the nfserver box is perfect, and I have rpcbind running. the reported error is "mount.nfs: mount system call failed" though from experience nfs errors don't mean a whole lot.However, I will go off and check now and see if I need a mountd running on client-side too.Then there's iptables .... ouch, that could be a long and painful trek. I don't see any specific ports being blocked, and it's the iptables that the default v11.2 opensuse came with. I did turn them off and the problem was the same, so whether wishfl thinking or not, I'm hoping it's not an iptables issue.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 running Ubuntu v10.04 with a wireless card.My desktop is a Dell Optiflex running WinXP.The desktop is connected via ethernet cable to a Linksys wireless router. Certain folders on the desktop are set for sharing. Up until early last week I was able to access the desktop folders from the laptop with no issues.Suddenly I am now getting this error "Unable to mount location Failed to mount Windows share" whenever I try to access the desktop folders from the laptop.I suspect an upgrade is the culprit, but not sure.

I have been trying to share folders from my main PC which is running Ubuntu 10.04. I have been able to figure out Samba enough to get my a couple of folders shared, but I have been unable to share any folders which are on my external harddrive. After entering the path in my smb.conf file they appear on the network but I am unable to navigate to them. When trying to navigate to them through the network folder on the pc they are actually connected to I get an "Unable to mount location: Failed to mount windows share" dialog box. On the windows pc I am trying to share with I get, "Windows cannot acces \Josh-Desktop
ame of folder"
My smb.conf file looks like this:
That folders I cannot access are Music and Videos.

I have an apache web server with php 5.3 and I need to connect to a webservice I set up in sqlserver 2008
Both servers are in the intranet.
If from my browser I write http://192.168.2.2/internet?wsdl I am prompted for a user and a password, which are those of a windows user with permissions to connect to the ws. After writing them I can see the XML file in my browser.
the php file is code...
I've tried variations in the url, the user, with and without password, with no luck
I've googled a lot, with no luck

I just installed F11 and can't make VPN connection to PPTP server using NetworkManager.
This is what I get:
** (nm-applet:8092): WARNING **: Error in getting active connection 'Vpn' property: (19) Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist
** (nm-applet:8092): WARNING **: _nm_object_array_demarshal: couldn't create object for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/3
I can connect to this server from Fedora 10 using identical settings.
VPNC tunnels work fine.

I am trying to mount a NAS device using the hostname on my linux computer (running slax)
The command I am using is
mount //hostname/sharename /mnt/test -t smbfs -o username=***,password=***

mount error: could not find target server. TCP name hostname/sharename not found
No ip address specificed and hostname not found
I can do this mount from an older version of SLAX but i can't from this new version. smb:/ can find then through the file explorer window but I can't mount them from the command line.Is there something i am doing wrong?

I have installed ubuntu 10.10 and the Samba addon to configure my shares to my Windows terminals.This is what I got
Firewall off (utf disabled)
Internal Sata /dev/sda1 (EXT4 FS)
External USB HDD /dev/sdb1 mounted at /media/SG1500GB (EXT4 FS)
I have two shares
1. //home/test - Which I can see and access with no problems (can't write to it though even though I set the share as writable?, but, I can read from it). This is available to everyone. My windows terminal can see this folder and access it. This is on my main 80GB internal drive /dev/sda1.
2. //media/SG1500GB/Music. I set this up for everyone full access and I can see it at all my Windows machines but,I can't get into the folder. Windows keeps giving me an error stating network path not found.I also try to access it via the Nautilus (Places/Network/system/music) and get an error message "unable to mount location, Failed to mount windows share". This drive is mounted per the disk utility.

I installed the Ubuntu Desktop 10.4 on my new MacBook Pro under a Parallels Desktop (VM).The install wend fine and after rebooting I was a happy new Ubuntu user.Had to reconfigure the ethernet port of my virtual machine and I had internet access.After 5 minutes, Ubuntu displayed a message that there were updates available, which I ran successfully.After the reboot however I got the following message :"An error occurred while mounting /media/psfPress S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery"After pressing M, a maintenance shell started under "root@ubuntu".As new user, I did not want to mess around as root (I would know what to enter).So I pressed ctrl-D which brought me back to the above message and I typed S.Ubuntu started ok however I lost my eth0 interface.In the network tools, I only find the Loopback interface, no eth0 anymore.Do I have to reinstall from scratch ?

I have a Buffalo Link Station NAS. I can connect to the NAS via my browser and set up users and groups, but I can't get contact through Network.
If I open Shortcuts and select a folder, the Network icon shows in the left pane. Clicking Network opens the folder and Windows Network icon shows.
When I click on the icon, eventually, this message appears - Unable to mount location- Failed to retrieve share list from server
I did have this unit working some time ago under Ubuntu, and then we changed IP to Virgin and have a new cable router.
