Hi

While this is not exactly the answer relating to your gui, this may help in your search for the light.

first do

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get check

do you have cifs installed?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install cifs-utils:i386 cifs-utils
or
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils:amd64 cifs-utils

# look at shares on server

Code: Select all

smbclient -L 192.168.22.2

# browser share on server

Code: Select all

smbclient //192.168.22.2/d

[code[sudo mkdir /mnt/d[/code]

Code: Select all

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.22.2/mint /mnt/updates -o username=owner,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777

Thanks for the tips. I will at least be able to confirm that the samba client is working.
I completed another install on a second machine and have the same issue with it in that the Network tab is not present.

Thunar has no "Network" bookmark so make one. In a terminal run:

Code: Select all

thunar network://

Then drag and drop the network folder to the left side panel of Thunar.
