Sounds to me that you didn't create any shares on BASEMENT. They would either be in /etc/samba/smb.conf itself - and the output of testparm -s would tell you that. Or they were created using caja - and the output of net usershare info --long would tell you that. If BASEMENT is also running MATE and ...

Just an update. There is an open issue - at least as of this writing - at the guthub home of wsdd: https://github.com/christgau/wsdd/issues/18 It looks like the developer as a workaround has decided to do something closer to what I suggested above: You can also add a line like ExecStartPre=/bin/slee...

Um ... you know ... there is another way to access from another Linux box your Mint samba server and it's the equivalent of a "map" in Windows. It's called cifs. An example - to be done on the Linux client to this server : [1] Install cifs-utils - I never know if Mint installs this by default: sudo ...

If I understand your information correctly, I can't get rid of the "(SMB)" share icon the Linux machines don't need without affecting Windows connections negatively I think? (yes/no) Re-reading again I think I am confused on this point, it is the "(SMB)" icon that isn't necessary? On Cin 64 that is...

What we have here is an overlap of something from the last century ( NetBIOS ) and something from this century ( mDNS or Avahi ). The icon labeled with the SMB at the end is mDNS and is only visible to another Linux or MacOS box and I'm assuming is the result of you adding an avahi service file at /...

I honestly and truly cannot reproduce your symptoms. Unless I also have usershares out there that stipulate read only. If you have any files in the /var/lib/samba/usershares directory delete them.

All of the "Elements.." shares will only be accessible to dad so unless you are providing dads username and samba password you will not gain access. In fact the client machine would not even know it's there. The same thing would happen to the "Shared" share if you encrypted your home directory. Um ....

Can you post the output of the this command:

Code: Select all

net usershare info --long

altair4

Didn't see your smb.conf before I posted ... You have no shares defined in smb.conf. Did you create them in Nemo?

Code: Select all

net usershare info --long

And btw are all your other machines in this range:

hosts allow = 127.0.0.0/8 10.10.1.0/24

So I downloaded LMDE3 and am running it in Live mode. Installed samba, created a share in smb.conf and .. um ... yep .... it's nowhere t be found in my network. Looks like the version of samba in LMDE3 doesn't do this automatically but you can fix that by doing it yourself: [1] Create a file at /etc...

Please post the output of the following command: ls -al /mnt Altair4, here is the first lot keith@keith-System-Product-Name:~$ lss -al /mnt Command 'lss' not found, did you mean: ls and lss are two different commands. There is nothing wrong with your fstab - outside of using Disks to generate it.

altair4

Please post the output of the following command: ls -al /mnt You might want to also post the output of these in case there is something funny going on: sudo blkid -c /dev/null cat /etc/fstab Theses are all ext4 partitions so you should be able to just do a chown against the mounted partition but I d...

user1 already has write access to the folder on the Linux box. ls -dl /disks/ExternalMedia will verify that all users on the Linux box have read write access to that folder and everything in it. There was no need to use uid / gid in fstab if all you wanted was write access - and the partition was NT...

OK. I got the idea from a problem report of this in GitHub ( https://github.com/christgau/wsdd/issues/23 ). There it was a change to the code but mine is to add a sleep command in the systemd service. It ain't pretty but it seems to work repeatedly in Xubuntu. Edit /etc/systemd/system/wsdd.service a...

Crap.
EDIT: Forget this. It doesn't work. THis is going to take a bit. Something must have changed internally to Ubuntu and I don't know what it is yet.

I need your help.

I'm not smart enough to have come up with that. Steffen Christgau over at GitHub was the one that came up with it.

At best I just listed the steps to make it more Ubuntu specific.

Windows 10 - if you kept it up to date - can't discover anything using NetBIOS because it disabled smb1 on the client side. I suggest one of two options: [1] You can still connect to the Mint server but have to ask for it by name: On the mint machine find your exact host name with this command: host...

Have your tried right-clicking on the green-hyphen icon and selecting "Info" or maybe "Properties"?
If I had a green line I'd probably just click on it and hope for the best.

That's how the Final World War will start.

There are still a few things autofs can do that x-systemd.automount cannot. [1] Install autofs: sudo apt install autofs [2] Edit /etc/auto.master and add the following line after the " +auto.master " line: /mnt/Samba /etc/auto.sambashares --timeout=30 --ghost [3] Create a new file at /etc/auto.samba...

Following what I could make of what I read I installed openssh-server and ssh on both pcs and configured the firewalls to allow tcp on all interfaces for a range of local IP addresses

And what about SSH itself:

Code: Select all

sudo ufw allow OpenSSH
