Linux Mint Forums

That only works with Ubuntu and can show the money.

Linux needs to be told what to use to open that location.

If you are using Mint Cinnamon it would be nemo: Other desktop environments have their own default file managers: caja or thunar

I got a call about this from a fellow Xubuntu user. This is how we fixed it: Go to this site to find your Latitude and Longitude: https://www.latlong.net/ In Xubuntu we edited the Application Autostart setting for redshift: Settings > Session and Startup > Application Autostart: Then tell redshift t...

As the great engineer will say: "The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain." Booting has become way more complicated over time and the networking stack on the Linux machine is often not fully operational when fstab is read so the cifs mounts fail. This is ...

client min protocol = NT1 forces the Mint samba client to use the SMB1 dialect when connecting to a server that can only use SMB1 - like WinXP What is missing is the reverse. When a client to the Mint machine that can only use SMB1 ( like WinXP ) tries to connect to a Samba server that has disabled...

Mint 18 and 19 has SMB1 enabled of the server side whereas Mint 20 does not.

WinXP went end of life 7 years ago and I haven't had to deal with it for a decade but why not post the output of the following commands so the folks here can see how you are set up:

First : I cannot spell. So it's not pasword it's password Second : If you are going to pass your Microsoft account credentials and those are something like blzebub@hades.com it's: username=blzebub,domain=hades.com,password=yyyyy So it's: sudo mount -t cifs //MEDIA-CENTER-SALON.local/Musique /media/...

A cifs mount isn't as hard as it looks from the HowTo. I just tried to cover as many use cases as I could. If your system was my system I ( altair ) would do something like this: I would create a mount point at say ... /media/Win10Musique: sudo mkdir /media/Win10Musique Then I would do a temporary m...

You could create a bookmark to that location in Nemo and have the system remember the password forever but bookmarks to network locations don't work very well in Nemo.

They work in Thunar.

Or you could do a cifs mount to the share: Automount Samba Shares with CIFS:

Open Nemo - your Mint file manager - and in the Location bar enter the following: Do you gain access?

This should also work:

Open up Command Prompt on the Win10 box. Then run and post the output of the following commands:

"Windows Network" launches a scan for all SMB servers on the network ( gvfsd-smb-browse ) via their NetBIOS names.

It's the default file sharing mechanism on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

But, first things first, I want to track down and understand what process changed the ownership of the mount points from "ineuw" to "root". The permissions of the folder that you created as the mount point has not changed from ineuw to root. Unmount ... say ... /media/wikimedia:...

In addition, you have a fundamental logic flaw in your script. The permissions of a mount point before something is mounted to it has no relation to the permissions after something has been mounted to it. This is true of all mounts: ntfs, ext4, cifs, .... In the case of a Linux fileystem the permiss...

Don't worry about the net usershare info --long error message. That only applies to shares created from your file manager which caja doesn't do by default. I never know how users create their shares so I always ask for the output. Your share was created in smb.conf. That is the only one that counts ...

We want to replace /etc/samba/smb.conf with the one in /usr/share/samba/smb.conf.

Once the cp is done we then make only adds to the new /etc/samba/smb.conf.

You have removed a lot of stuff from the default [global] section of smb.conf. I'm wondering if the best thing to do is start over with a fresh smb.conf ...... um ........... At a minimum I would do this: Edit smb.conf and add in the [global] section the following: map to guest = Bad User server min...

What would greatly assist those who can help you you might want to post the putput of the following commands:

I've become reluctant to get involved with WinXP and Win7 questions because it's been too long since I've had to deal with them, I no longer have any here at the asylum, so there is no way I can try to reproduce a users errors. Anyhoo ... When you say the Win7 machine cannot access the Mint server d...

More of an FYI but .... I've an old NAS connected in the network. I can access it from my linux mint machine by smb://nsa325-v2/photo/ The file manager mounts that share at: /run/user/$UID/gvfs/smb-share:server=nsa325-v2,share=photo Where $UID is your uid number which is usually 1000. I would argue ...
