I'm still a newbie even after 2 years of daily linux use so go easy.I'm running Mint 17.3 rosa 32bit
kernel 3.13.024
mate 1.12.0
I use my linux box to download multimedia content and then transfer it over my home network
to my media server which is a dell zino running windows 7 Media Center.
yesterday (4-18-16) everything worked fine.
When I finished with my transfers Mint had updates available so I let it install them.
According to the update manager history at least 8 updates were to Samba and Samba client.
Today (4-19-16) I cannot connect to my windows box.
normally I can connect using
Code: Select all
smb://192.168.2.101/users/Public/Videos
Code: Select all
smb://mdr-pc/users/Public/Videos
"password required for share users on mdr pc"
I have the option to connect anonymously
or as a specific user
neither of which work
If I goto network in file manager
it shows windows network but when you click on it I get
"unable to mount location"
Is it possible roll back those samba updates?
The windows box Does NOT take automatic updates and Does NOT have a password.
Thanks for any help or suggestions ( I may not be able to respond until in the AM)
