I've mounted a windows share in places. When I look at computer in places it shows down the left hand side. When I write an email in Thunderbird and go to attach it does not show down the left. Firefox doesn't see it either when attaching from gmail. But open office and do a save as it does see it.

Everything is suave but some file browser windows eg: file upload in gmail, hotmail etc, does not show my samba shortcuts i've created nor even the option to browse the network in the "places" section. It shows other locally created shortcuts but no samba ones. Just to test it, even creating an ftp:// shoftcut yeilds no dice. I had a quick search through the forums and I couldn't find anything. I have a feeling this has an easy solution that my inferior brain cannot comprehend! Loving F14 on my macbook pro and so are my employees in my office! Feels much less bloated than Ubuntu IMHO.

The problem is that the files and folders disappear inadvertently and I can only access them again if I open the share again from the start with windows explorer. Selinux is disabled and the firewall ports for samba are open. The following software is installed:

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 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 have read a few threads about samba and mounting, and cannot get it straight. Here is basically what I have done...
sudo mkdir /media/effjsands
sudo pico /etc/fstab
//10.1.121.36/sandsjh/media/effjsands cifs
credentials=/etc/samba/user,d_mode=777,f_mode=777 0 0
sudo pico /etc/rc.local
mount /media/effjsands
sudo pico /etc/samba/user
username=sandsjh
password=IamN0Tl33t34
I reboot and it does not mount. I can get Nautilus to open //10.1.121.36/sandsjh , so I know it is a valid path. When I go to terminal and run manually, I get:
sandsjh@LTL-IT-SANDS:/etc$ ./rc.local
mount: only root can mount //10.1.121.36/sandsjh on /media/effjsands
I need to mount two Samba shares from my Ubuntu Server to my Desktop they are:
[shared]
path = /media/share
read only = no
guest ok = yes
[www]
path = /var/www
read only = no
I made two directories in my home folder on the desktop called share and www how do I mount these now? I have to use the terminal btw.
If I run the command: smbclient -L //192.168.10.101 which is the IP of my server it works.
I want to mount a samba share form another Ubuntu pc.
With nautilus I can do: smb://xxxxxxx;username@192.168.1.12/sharedfolder/ And i can browse the shared folder without problem
but I want to mount it. I have tried:
Code:
user@compu:~$ sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.12/sharedfolder /mnt/folder -o username=username
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.64/esco3,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[Code].....
Im aware I'm not passing the password and I was hoping it would ask me. Also I'd like to store all that info in my computer and try to auto mount the shared every time i use the pc.
One problem I'm having is with getting some apps to access NAS hosted files and folder over samba. Two examples are photo managment apps and backup apps, which seem to only want to work with local files and folders.I have come across a number of articles about cifs, autofs, gigolo, fstub, etc (including the autofs community documentation). But so far I've had no luck in auto mounting a samba shared resource as local.
Can anyone point me to a definitive tutorial, or provide an explanation on how I might accomplish auto mounting samba shares?
I've already set up my home network to work smoothly with Samba, mainly meaning that my HTPC running Win7 can share the user home folder. So currently is simply have a Nautilus bookmark set to 'smb://win7server/users/username/' and it connects just fine.
Now, I want to use 'mount' to make a connection to this same folder spot such that it is seen as part of the native file system. I've tried this: sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.2.101/users/username/ /mnt/win7server
But I get a 'wrong fs type' warning. WTF? I thought that windows was cifs? You guys have any pointers to how to mount this? BTW, I must absolutely mount this file system, as I'm running some programs built with Open Motif, which do not support Samba.
I have a command line that mounts the disk of my mobile
Code:
It works, but there is a problem with it. Every folder and file has root:root ownership, so I am unable to change anything. Even when I change permissions manually, it does not work.
Now, I want to move this to fstab but have no idea how an fstab line should look like. Obviously, I want to also have rw access to the disk.
I have sent the last 5 hours (it is now 6am) and I am in no mood for lazy know-it-all'sI have returned begging and crawling back to Ubuntu (I waited a day for 10.10 to be released) and I have again stumbled across why I go back to Micro$oft's Windows.All I want to do it have a permanent share to my nas, which is on my Netgear DGND3300.I can reach it by Place -> Network -> Windows Network -> NAKALEEN -> NAS -> USB_Storagebut for the life of me I can't make it permanent. I need it as all my Movies/TV/eBooks are on this.I have followed every and I mean EVERY option I have found on Google with no luck. From the fstab/mount option to the gvfs option (as you can guess both failed)The reason it is *$&^%$^&%$ me off it that Windows can do it with a couple of mouse presses (Map Network drive). Making Ubuntu a joke in this area.
View 9 Replies View RelatedFrom Konqueror/Dolphin is possible to access samba shares. If your computer is joined to a Active Directory domain and you use a domain user, you can access samba shares with smb://server.domain/share and you are not ask for user/pass (you use a kerberos tiquet). Kde programs as Amarok, K3b, ... can access files in samba shares without problem. But other programs, specially gnome programs (including the popular OpenOffice), are unable to use files in a samba share. If instead of using Konqueror/dolphin you use Nautilus, there is no problem because it maps the share to a local folder ($HOME/.gvfs/share in sever/) and the program are able to access files in samba shares without problems as the folder is mounted locally (as if you use cifs.mount). Its a problem to use konqueror/dolphin and have to change to nautilus to access samba shares.
If you use Windows you can mount it in an easy way. That's what I try to do from konqueror, not having to open a konsole and be able to mount the share in an easy way. I've tried with smb4k, but is has not worked for me (tried in 2 OpenSuse 11.3 and 1 opensuse 11.2). What Nautilus does when accessing a samba shares like smb://server.domain.dom/share is to execute the command: [URL]... What I try is to do the same, but just form Konqueror/Dolphin. I'd like to add a button to Konqueror/dolphin that pressing the button and if the URL points to a samba share, the share is mounted in $HOME/LocalNetwork/server/share. As I say, it can be as easy as executing the gvfs-mount, but don't know how.
Can I share an NFS mount with samba?
Scenario:
ServerA has an NFS Mount to ServerB at mount point /home/qlogger/logs
I can cd to /home/qlogger/logs on ServerA and see the contents as they would be on ServerB (NFS Working with proper permissions rw).
I have a samba share setup on ServerA to share the NFS Mounted Directory (/home/qlogger/logs)
I connect with my windows host and am able to view the files and folders. I can create folders just fine however; when I go to copy a file from the windows machine to the samba share I receive a message saying the file is locked.
I have disabled oplocks in samba and the problem still persists.
I have a system that I want to auto mount a samba from another one. The issue is that they are both laptops so doing it by name is much much better than by ip. Unfortunately when I try to mount by name with this in my samba:

it works fine. The ip obviously is going to change depending on what network the two systems are on.
I recently set up a Samba server (Ubuntu 8.10 desktop) in a Social Businness Office. in there have different laptops and OS.
Here is how my smb.conf file look in the share section.
[private folder]
path = /path/to/private
comment = private
valid users = user1 user2
directory mask = 0777
[Code]....
It work fine for Win and Ubuntu, but access this folder with Mac OsX gives this error:
smb_mount: open session failed!: syserr = Broken pipe
It seems that authentication is ok, but for some reason it cannot mount the device.
I know this is not the right place to talk about OsX issues.
I would like to exclude if there are some options I miss in the smb.conf.
I am trying to properly mount a samba share in order to access it from a terminal and run a script that I've written over a folder in the share. How could I do that? I tried smbclient but after successfully logging in I couldn't issue the sh command. Isn't it possible to have it mounted in the /mnt folder like a normal filesystem?

i have a ubuntu 10.10 desktop and laptop. i installed samba, and smbfs. i shared a folder on each computer. when i browse the network i can see the laptop from the laptop, and can see the desktop from the laptop, but i cant see the laptop from the desktop. when i try to mount the share it says unable to mount, but mounts it anyway...but, i need to be able to mount it so that rsync will see the shares as a dir on the desktop. i tried manually mounting via smbmount following several threads that i found, and i keep getting error sudo smbmount //192.168.1.78/share /media/laptop Password: Unable to find suitable address
that is as far as i've been able to get. i've looked and have only been able to find threads about windows shares, not between 2 ubuntu machines. and i dont know why laptop can see the desktop but not the other way around. they have identical smb.conf files
Is there a way for a normal user to mount samba shares from the command line using devicekit? It seems like I remember there was a way to do it using hal, but that's been replaced by devicekit in Lucid if I've read correctly.
I can click on the shares I want in nautilus under "Network", but I'm using fluxbox and I'd like to mount a few shares at startup. I read the documentation for the udisks command, but I can't figure out how to get it to work with samba shares.
I have an Ubuntu 11.04 laptop that I use to connect to a Windows 7 server. Everything was working fine until the hard drive on the server crashed and it was replaced with a backup. Now I intermittently lose access to the shares with Nautilus giving me the following message:
"The folder contents could not be displayed.You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of Folder"
When I look at the mount points in terminal I see the following:
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2011-07-08 13:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 2011-05-03 11:17 ..
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? Folder
Where Folder is the mount point.My fstab looks like this, although I must point out that I have tried virtually every possible permutation with no change.
//10.35.1.110/Share /media/Folder cifs rw,_netdev,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/root/smb/credentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,noperm,file_mode=077 7,dir_mode=0777,sign 0 0
Sometimes the permissions will revert back by themselves, sometimes I need to umount and mount to get back in.I have tried deleting and recreating the mount points. No change.It is driving me up the wall, I have tried everything I can think of, installing/uninstalling winbind, the fuse modules etc etc. I use this machine as a production machine in a heterogeneous environment and everything works awesomely except for this. I love Ubuntu, I can't even think of booting Windoze these days but not being able to access the network shares is a right show-stopper for me.

I'm having trouble setting up samba to work with my vista machine. Whenever I try to mount certain shares I'm getting error 13- permission denied. Specifically, I'm trying to mount my entire C: with this command at the console:
mount.cifs //windows_box/C$ /mnt/windows -o username=tyler,password=****
I've also tried:
mount -t smbfs
mount -t cifs
The funny thing is that I CAN mount some other shares, but not all. My distro is slack-current. I've been following as many relevant threads on this issue for a while now and have tried as many of the suggestions as I could understand, but it's getting to the point that I've lost track of what I've tried and what I haven't. Things I have tried:
Checking permissions on the shares: seem to be ok
enabling encrypted passwords: not sure if I did it right.
editing the registry for LmCompatablity

"My network" is behind a firewall inside a larger windows network with AD. My network has a Debian Server with samba 3.2 running. There are 50 users on my server.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've began to work on getting my access control, set up properly on my server, and want to create a "my documents" folder for each user I add. I do not want it being part of the home directory and have read everything and still can't seem to get it to work. I've got a second drive that is mounted at /private on my server, with a folder that is underlying on it call users and groups. Then from there is has the exact unix username that I set up in Users and Groups. Ex. /private/user/gary . With Samba, I added the following code:
Code:
[My Documents]
guest ok = no
comment = %u's Documents
[code]....
I've tried using %u,%U,%S, and the normal username and of all of them, it will only work with the username. I've even used force user. added root to the valid users list and it still gives me access denied or the multiple connections to a single share with multiple user names prohibited but nothing is mounted on this share. On Webmin, it doesn't show any connections to the share. I'm rather at a stumped state in which is frustrating me, because I want to have this so when I go from my desktop to my laptop I have "My Documents" On either unit. Security on the server is set to User because I've searched to see if I can't find a way to make shares visible by a guest but read only to them and when I access them from my log in to make it read write using the "Share" option.
I am trying to mount a file server directory on a client machine. I tried using NFS, but could not mount the share on the client. Several respobses were given to a post on this problem. but I still was not able mount the NFS share. I decided to try instead to mount the directory as a Samba share because I can already access it using Samba from windows, or from KDE or Gnome using smb://fileserver as a desktop location icon URL. When I try to mount the Samba share I get error messages that nearly identical those that occurred with NFS. . Here are some of the setup parameters
CentOS 5.4 on client and server behind a D-Link router

client IP: 192.168.0.101 (can ping from server)

This is the only error message that these commands have produced in the messages log, secure log or smbd log for either machine. My immediate goal is to set up the simplest possible local mount that will allow Grsync to backup to the file server.
