Re: SMB access to NAS uses SMB1, but should use SMB2 or SMB3

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/

Re: SMB access to NAS uses SMB1, but should use SMB2 or SMB3

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...

Re: SMB access to NAS uses SMB1, but should use SMB2 or SMB3

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-...

Re: SMB access to NAS uses SMB1, but should use SMB2 or SMB3

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...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
