You don't. It simply is. Any Ubuntu system ( or something based on or forked from Ubuntu ) past 17.10 or so that has samba installed and avahi-daemon running will automatically announce it's presence to the rest of the network. All other Linux and MacOS systems will see that machine in their file ma...

Made the changes everyone is talking about with max protocol = SMB2 and name resolve order = bcast lmhosts hosts wins No need to mess with "client max protocol" if you are using Mint 19.2. It's set to automatically negotiate with the server to find the best SMB dialect to use from SMB1 all the way ...

For what it's worth this looks like a bug in nemo-shares to me. What should have happened is a check of the permissions of /mnt/Shared and when it was found that it would not allow a write by "guests" the "Modify Share" button should have been enabled and the error message should have stated that yo...

This is becoming stranger and stranger .........

Run this command:
sudo chmod 0777 /mnt/Storage

I think Mint is messing with Ubuntu error messages again ...... Please post the output of the following command: ls -al /mnt EDIT : Found it in GitHub: // Check if the path is fully accessible by everybody gint exit_status; gchar *output = NULL; const gchar *command = g_strdup_printf ("%s/check-dire...

3 more questions:

What is your hostname on the Linux box- run the following: And what are the permissions of the target folder and the path to it: And how are you mounting the target folder - if this is another partition:

Just a suggestion but what's missing from this topic is how you are set up, what you are sharing, and where the shared folder is located. If you post the output of the following commands I think it would help:

Actually - and believe me I fully understand the irony in what I'm about to say - the way Ubuntu and Samba have evolved since 17.10 Samba pretty much works seamlessly with other Linux systems. It's Windows it has a problem with. I just booted into the install disk of Kubuntu18.04 to see how things a...

As I showed you above in my screenshots I'm not having any of these problems. My only suggestion at this point is to bypass as much of Mint and it's MATE desktop as possible and do a cifs mount instead. [1] Create a mount point - these are all examples: sudo mkdir /media/Win10share [2] Make sure cif...

It's under File in caja - top panel

Can you connect to the WIn7 and WIn10 machine explicitly on caja?

smb://server/share

Or better yet use Connect to Server: Which results in:

Need to see how samba is setup on your system. Please post the output of the following commands: testparm -s net usershare info --long In the mean time edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and right under the workgroup = WORKGROUP line add this one: name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins Save the file the...

I installed SAMBA, and now the Lenovo is visible on my Windows 7 box and not on Windows 10 laptop Win10 cannot discover anything that uses NetBIOS so you need to access the Linux box explicitly or enable WS-Discovery. Details here: Windows 10 and Samba File Sharing I created a folder to share on th...

I downloaded the appimage version LanShare and have it running between Xubuntu 18.04 and Mint Cinnamon 19.2. Everything works for me. I don't know how this thing works so I don't know how to debug it but maybe the issue is something else. Maybe a firewall is in the way. Can you ping the other machin...

However, LAN Share does not connect to other PCs in our LAN (also using LAN Share, obviously). Are you talking about "LAN Share" the application? The thing that all your machines have to install and use to transfer files? As in https://github.com/abdularis/LAN-Share Or are you taking about Samba? S...

you might remember me from this thread https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=296697 I've switched to Emby from Plex, and followed the same instruction linked above for mounting an external NTFS drive in fstab First , you cannot chmod, chown, ch anything , or set acls on an NTFS filesyst...

I followed steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 - but not 7 - and after a reboot there were no mounts. I even got the same "status=32" error. Then I masked the service , deleted the file I created at /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service, unmasked the service, restarted the service, and rebooted. Then I checked to...

It would suit my working environment to run Cinnamon at the base and run Win7 on VirtualBox.

What exactly do you mean by "working environment"? Do you mean your environment at work ... as in your place of employment?

autofs is something that needs to be configured. In fact I wrote a HowTo on it about a hundred years ago: Auto Mounting Samba Shares Using AutoFS I don't see how just installing the package fixed anything. Then again I don't know why you created your own rc-local.service in the wrong place when one ...
