Depends on how far you want to automate this. You could just Bookmark it. The next time you go through the Network > Windows Network > Vision > Users select Bookmark > Add bookmark. Then it will show up on Nemo as a link on the side panel. The next time you boot into your machine you can open Nemo a...

Not sure why I didn't notice this before but you have another syntax error. I cannot reproduce your same characters but something like this is incorrect: //10.96.255.42/'name of folder' /media/'name of folder' .... That is not the way you declare a path with spaces in fstab. For every space you need...

I had a chance to revisit this on my own system and I can remove the "Maybe" in my previous post. I use the this method on my own system and this line in fstab works just as I described in the HowTO: //vwin10.local/shared /media/Win10Shared cifs username=smbuser,password=smbuserpw,uid=1000,iocharset...

even if i have add on fstab these volumes as the guide is pointing i cant access them but only if i mount them again from terminal the /media/nameofnasvolume That should not be happening. You never have to use the terminal with my approach. All you have to do is click on the link on the side panel ...

Your friend was right. Linux is just for geeks. Anyhoo ..... you have a dilemma when it comes to Win10. Samba made some shages to how the client works - becasue of WIn10 ironically enough - that inadvertently disabled it's ability to "discover" Windows hosts using netbios. This is explained here: Mi...

You might not want them to automount. Give this a shot: On Demand CIFS Mounting of Shares The concept here is you create a mount point under /media or the users home directory and use cifs not gvfs ( which the file manager uses ). Then the name of the share displayed in the file manager will match t...

In my case I specify the owner (and password) in a separate credentials file. No you do not. What you are doing is passing a user name and password the server requires and validates in order to access the share. Without declaring a uid in the cifs mount expression it would still be owned by root an...

You seem to be having multiple problems but your syntax is wrong: ls -l /media/graeme/Linux HDD returns ls: cannot access '/media/graeme/Linux': No such file or directory ls: cannot access 'HDD': No such file or directory Linux doesn't handle spaces in the name of things like Windows does. If it has...

You posted some confusing data: inxi -p returned; Partition: ID-1: / size: 458G used: 14G (4%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sda1 ID-2: /media/graeme/Linux HDD size: 932G used: 1.5G (1%) fs: fuseblk dev: /dev/sdb1 lsblk -f NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT sda └─sda1 ext4 e37a6cdf-c8d5-43e4-bcb7-44fdaa64e613 /...

Why is it necessary to set this differently to the ownership of the folders on the server, with the permissions allocated as per the user identification in the 'creds' file? The server only sees the user passed via the credentials file. Everything you do will be as that user to the server. Even if ...

I guess the issue I have with your description in not why is Mint19 not allowing write access but why is Mint18 allowing write access. //192.168.10.4/Helena /media/Helena cifs credentials=/etc/samba/credentials,rw That will produce a mount at /media/Helena with owner=root and permissions=755. Nobody...

It's about to get more confusing. When I searched for Handbrake, I found 3 hits and I think I installed the last one on the list simply because it had an icon and from an intuitive standpoint, appears more current and complete than a package without an icon. From your snapshot later on in your post ...

You mentioned two different methods so here are two different suggestions: If you use the file manager to mount these shares you might consider Gigolo to have them automount. I wrote a HowTo on this a hundred years ago: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=52144 For mounts in fstab you ...

First : You chose to ask your question in another users topic. Based on his other posts he's not really into feedback on if the help provided worked or not. Given my ego I assumed that sudo smbpasswd -a anon fixed it. Side note: This statement is not factually correct: 1) After running sudo smbpass...

I wonder if we are using the same version of handbrake? This is mine: tester@vmint19cinn:~$ dpkg -l handbrake | grep ii ii handbrake 1.1.0+ds1-1ubuntu1 amd64 versatile DVD ripper and video transcoder (GTK+ GUI) How did you install it? From the repository: sudo apt install handbrake You should see t...

The screenshot I attached in my last post is from HandBrake which I installed just to answer your question. It not only shows the gvfs bookmark but the mounted share as a separate item on the side panel of HandBrake: ghb2.png Since I only have about 120 seconds experience in HandBrake I can't answer...

Open a terminal and run: nemo /run/user/$UID/gvfs Immediately create a bookmark to that location when nemo opens up. This will create a permanent link to that location in nemo labelled "gvfs". So the process is: [1] Connect to the share using nemo. [2] In HandBrake when you use "Open Source" or what...

I can begin to connect by going to the path "\\linuxcpu\testshare" but I cannot authenticate into the network share. Windows is prompting me for a username and password. I've tried putting in my linux username "docbrown" with the linux password but I get rejected. Linux has two passwords: The one y...

There's two ways Linux can browse or "discover" samba hosts on the network. The Windows way using the old netbios mechanism or the mDNS ( avahi ) way that Linux and macOS use. According to the manual ( which I admit I just looked up on google ) it states here: https://openmediavault.readthedocs.io/e...

First: I don't think I can help you with this. I haven't had an issue connecting to a printer for so long that I don't know how to diagnose problems with it any longer. If the Printer wants a username and password give it one. Make one up if you have to. Second: Split this from Topic: https://forum...
