It would be interesting to see if the same thing happens to Ubuntu 18.04 ( or perhaps Xubuntu 18.04 ). You don't need to install it just run it from a Live session off the install medium.

Then you would know if it's an Ubuntu thing or a Mint thing.

It is also a sad day for the Paragraph. May it rest in peace.

Well, I don't know about anyone else but I'm confused. The "usb-TOSHIBA" thingy is not referenced in blkid or fstab yet it's mounting under /mnt which it would never do naturally. For all you Disks users is this something Disks does? I'm assuming the TOSHIBA thing is the "external hard drive" in que...

Please post the output of the following commands so the folks here know what's going on: Is this the external hard disk: dev/sdb1 on /mnt/sdb1 type fuseblk ...

The shares which do not work are on /media/ user /drivex/folder. Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and right under the workgroup = WORKGROUP line add this one: force user = user Replace "user" with the same name as in /media/ user /drivex/folder Save the file then restart smbd: sudo service smbd restart Thi...

Since you are using Mint Cinnamon you could create a samba usershare: Open Nemo and right click a folder you own like your Public folder. Then select Sharing Options > Slide the switch to Share this folder and check all the boxes. You will create a writeable share of your Public folder. You have a l...

I don't have a lot of experience with avahi troubleshooting because I have never had it fail except for one condition and I'm not sure if fits your symptoms. Run the following command: host -t SOA local It should come back with something like: Host local not found: 2(SERVFAIL) OR Host local not foun...

Gadmin-samba was designed for Version 2 of Samba. We are at Samba Version 4 which is why you got all those error messages. It made a mess of your smb.conf which has some impact on the samba client. "Samba" is system-config-samba and that was built for Version 3 of Samba. Luckily it won't run unless...

This is not your fault. You apparently installed something called gadmin-samba. It has no place in the repositories of modern operating systems. It is unsupportable at this point so I would suggest you restart: There is a backup factory-fresh copy of smb.conf that you can use to replace the one you ...

The LM18.3 laptop can see the shares I've set up on the two LM19 machines. The two LM19 machines can see each other. Neither LM19 machine can see the LM18.3 machine Everyone can see the LM19 samba hosts because Ubuntu read the installation manual for Samba when it set things up in Ubuntu 18.04 ( Mi...

@ec91066, You really have two questions: I've been trying to share a folder in Mint19 and, fist, I tried to do it through Nemo's samba integration. Doesn't work... I can't access that share from my laptop wich is running MInt also - Connection refused after logging in with my username and password (...

I have a completely different perspective on all this. I don't think the forum should have any passwords. The way I see it the NSA, CIA, the government of China, preteen Russian kids, Google, Amazon, etc.. already has access to all of my records and financial accounts. The only reason I haven't been...

UUID="6092D5E95F8A15E5" ntfs defaults,noatime,discard 0 3 Your fstab line for this partition has no mount point. Actually, since fstab is read from left to right following a template I believe it thinks "ntfs" is the mount point. I'm suprised you didn't get some kind of error message when you boote...

Take possession of the mounted share: [1] Unmount it first: sudo umount /mnt/shares/PCgeorge [2] Then change the mount to this: sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.178.17/PCgeorge /mnt/shares/PCgeorge -o vers=1.0,username=George,password=yyyy,rw,uid=1000,nounix Note : uid=1000 will make the mounted share o...

I can connect with Samba to shared folder using terminal Please post the exact expression you used. It's not clear if you are using a gvfs/gio mount or a cifs mount but either way we need to see what you used to connect to the server. And what operating system is on the server that has the share yo...

If it makes you feel any better there is now a bug report for this that references this very thread: Deleting non-empty folder in SMB-CIFS (SAMBA) fails #1930 While you wait I would suggest the alternatives mentioned above: ** Use Thunar as your file manager - I'm sure there are others but it's the ...

I do not know. I don't know how the NAS is doing samba. If I do a google search of MyBook private shares everyone is accessing it with the user name of "admin" ... sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.178.17/PCgeorge /mnt/shares/PCgeorge -o sec=ntlm,vers=1.0, username=admin ,password=yyyy I suppose that mig...

I don't know what to tell you but based on your last post you don't have a user named george regardless of capitalization.

Run the following on the NAS: Does George, george, or perhaps pcgeorge show up?

I don't know about Debian but in Ubuntu you can't create a user name with upper case letters: tester@vub1804:~$ sudo adduser George adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured via the NAME_REGEX[_SYSTEM] configuration variable. Use the `--force-badname' option to rela...
