Re: Linux Mint login to Active Directory

Not to nitpick but you don't need to install samba ( the server package ) on a Linux client to connect to someone else's SMB server. You certainly don't need it if using mount.cifs to do the connection. CIFS doesn't use any samba client routines. It doesn't even know smb.conf exists. It's all in th ...

Re: Connect to Synology DiskStation using NFS (or SMB?)

I would just like to point out there is a difference in how Nemo ( or any other Linux file manager ) accesses a smb server and how AndyMH uses cifs ( as in mount.cifs ) to access a share. Accessing a SMB server through Nemo is a convoluted process: Nemo > gvfs ( gio ) backend > a smb client library ...

Hello, This is what I do (for now, I will later add it in fstab and use a better mount path). sudo mount diskstation.local:/volume1/DiskStation diskstation So what you are saying is the permissions on the "disktation" folder displayed in a terminal using: ls -dl $HOME/diskstation And: sta...

Re: [Solved] Connect to Synology DiskStation using NFS (or SMB?)

Thinking sideways, I assume you are mounting the synology via nfs with an entry in fstab. I've got a theory but I have a question for you. When you enable nfs on synology - but do not mount it manually or in fstab - does it appear under Network in Mint's Memo file manager? I'm wondering if this is ...

Re: Nemo doesnt allow me write access to files on NFS server

I don't think I can help you since I haven't used NFS in decades but I think what's missing from your post is how you are mounting the NFS "share". If you are doing it manually post the mount expression you are using. If you automount post the mount expression you are using in fstab. EDIT ...

Re: How to enable shared clipboard or files in VirtualBox?

Based only on that picture you have no shared folders so there is nothing to mount.

Re: Linux Mint can't find known-good Samba Share

I'm not disagreeing with the recommendation by RowlandP but I would just like to point out that Alma Linux was created to be "binary-compatible" with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

That might explain why all these enterprise level settings are in the default smb.conf.

Another option is to use the mdns host name of the server and not the ip address.

Re: desktop icons appear after two minutes using NAS shares

15 shares is a lot of shares. One suggestion would be not to mount them at boot but "on access". You do that by adding a systmed directive to your mount statement: x-systemd.automount //192.168.8.1/software /mnt/software cifs credentials=/home/username/.smbcredentials,nobrl,iocharset=utf8,...
