Caja cant get Network? (SOLVED)

[LennartL]

I have Samba installd but all I can see it is this:

caja.png

It is swedish but it says: Caja cant show "Network://"
Caja could not handle "Network"-places.

I have LinuxMint 18.2 Mate.

The usual suspect for that error message is a missing package so I would try that first:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gvfs-backends

[LennartL]

To install gvfs-backends did take away the sign I had before.
But now I will get this when I try to start Samba with my password.
NOTHING!
I put my password and nothing happens.
I have this i the Synaptic:

If you haven’t installed samba this way do this first:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install samba --install-recommends

If you still have an issue post the output of this command in case something is messed up with the client side of samba:

Code: Select all

testparm -s

[LennartL]

This is:
lennart@lennart ~ $ testparm -s

Nothing wrong there.

Is the sever set up to accept whatever user name and password you are sending?

[LennartL]

I dont want you ask for.
I cant do anything in my computer with Sambo.
I cant come in to Samba.
I have delete everything about Samba in the computer and then installt it again.
But I cant do anything with Samba in my computer.
I cant open it.

[altair4]

But I cant do anything with Samba in my computer.
I cant open it.

Samba isn't something you open. Are you talking about system-config-samba?

That doesn't work in Mint unless you do this first:

Code: Select all

sudo touch /etc/libuser.conf

I dont want you ask for.

You are trying to access a samba / smb share on another computer. THat share is set up requiring a user name and password to gain access. That means that a user and his password ( and samba password if that machine is Linux ) must exist on that machine and that is the user name and password you must pass to gain access.

Does the user name and password you are passing to the server exist on that server?

[LennartL]

Yes, the other computer has distributed folders with all that is needed.

Now I can see Samba and have handed out a folder, but I'm not come anywhere yet.



If I go to my Network on the left side of my HOME and "klick" there I will get this sign:

bläddra i nätwerk.png

It is swedish but it says:
It coud not mount the place.
Failure to retrieve distribution list from server.
The file or directory is not available

I dont understand watch can wrong.

If the share is on a Windows computer see this: Samba Browsing Problems Checklist

If the share is on another Linux machine see this: Samba Browsing in an all Linux or Linux/OSX network
