If you want to create a share that is only accessible to you make it so: [Public] valid users = logan path = /home/logan/Public read only = No Just make sure you add yourself to the samba password database: sudo smbpasswd -a logan You can also just reconstitute the [homes] share which is "comme...

my Dell Linux Box could mount the HP's box using "hp-z220-sff-workstation" as the host, but now on this setup I can only mount it by its IP address. I actually have no idea why that host name works at all but it is likely you are not limited to using an ip address. The 15 character limit ...

Authentication and access to the shared resource are two different things. Debian samba server share: [Test] guest ok = Yes path = /home/tester/Test read only = No ~$ smbclient //vdeb12xfce.local/Test Password for [WORKGROUP\tester]: Anonymous login successful Try "help" to get a list of p...

[Public] force user = logan guest ok = Yes path = /home/logan/Public read only = No That's not going to work. The "guest" user will never be able to traverse the /home/logan folder to get to the Public folder. I think RowlandP and I are saying the same thing but I have a slightly differen...

Regrettably, the Linux hostname is limited to 63 characters. It would be nice if the installer would at least inform the user that the NetBIOS name has a 15 character limit and that by default Linux will make the NetBIOS name = Linux host name but that will never happen. Windows will truncate if the...

Please post the output of the following commands on the hp-z220-sff-workstation box:

Run the following command: Does it show up now?

The The permissions for /home/user prevent other users from accessing this share message isn't an error but a statement of fact. If you run the following command you will see that it did in fact create the share: net usershare info --long Ubuntu changed the default permissions on home folders to 750...

I have no idea why the solutions offered by the others in this thread don't work but I do have a suggestion: [1] The partition on your second drive is not being automounted so I would fix that first: Unmount the partition if it is currently mounted: sudo umount /media/your-user-name/Storage Create a...

With the second hard drive mounted please post the output of the following commands: And identify the partition that is giving you grief.

Don't use a desktop environment on your NAS'.

Question: Is this question and this question ( viewtopic.php?p=2451222#p2451222 ) related?

quite frankly, I got so fed up with broken samba with a Windows 11 VM, that I just edited the Windows registry to use smb1. It's a VM, so I'm not worried about it........ But it is something that shouldn't need to be done to activate network discovery with a mixed windows, macOS and linux system. W...

Are you talking about partitions like this: UUID=0DCB217D4930C3E2 /media/kris/SSD1T ntfs-3g defaults,noatime,windows_names,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 Replace root as owner with you uid=kris Unmount the partition: sudo umount /media/kris/SSD1T Change fstab to this: UUID=0DCB217D4930C3E2 /media/kris/SSD1T ...

Poor choice of words on my part.

There is no GUI implementation of a wsdd client aside from the kde kio-slave which as you pointed out is broken the instant the user installs the wsdd ( server announcement ) package/

What would be nice is for Linux to replace smb host browsing with smb host discovery. It can do that 2 different ways - at least in a home network: Avahi - Your NAS does this by default on the server end. Your nas can be accessed with an ip address or with it's avahi ( bonjour , mDNS ) host name: sm...

The culprit in all this is a gvfs-backend process called gvfsd-smb-browse. The design and timing of when that process is invoked is the main issue. You can view discourse on this in this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1828107 Note that some find that killing the smb-...

It's run in a terminal not the file manager.

Since SMB1 is deactivated on the Synology NAS, this is all correct. But why does Linux Mint use XFCE when calling smb://192.168.10.50 SMB1? And not SMB2 or SMB3, as happens when calling a direct subfolder? It's a bug ... sorry, that's not technically correct ... It's a design flaw in the backend Mi...
