I have a samba share on a Raspberry PI I can map it to a Windows 10 computer (and the PI does not ask for a password - as intended since this is a home network for the family).
If I mount it on my Kubuntu machines, I DO need a password when mounting manually with: sudo mount //pi/PI-PUBLIC /mnt/PI-PUBLIC -o user,rw,username=MYUSER,password=PSWD or in fstab //pi/PI-PUBLIC /mnt/PI-PUBLIC cifs user,username=MYUSER,password=PSWD 0 0 After mounting with either of the above, all files "seem" to be owned by root, even though that is not true. And obviously I cannot update or delete files. If I do smb://solomon@pi/PI-PUBLIC/ in Dolpin file manager, I'm also asked for a password, but then something strange happens. I CAN read and write files, but Dolphin does not show any permissions. And finally, the only solution that DOES work "correctly" in Dolphin is: fish://pi/media/PUBLIC/ BUT, I do have one "serious problem" with not being able to properly mount the share. Libreoffice and KIO slave do not "play well together" - a known issue - so the fish:// solution does not work. What am I missing here? I know using samba to communicate between a PI and Kubuntu is not the best way, but in the past, it did work for me and I don't know what I screwed up. smb.conf on the PI has not changed for MANY years, but I have done countless changes, updates and upgrades to the Kubuntu (and before that Mandriva) machines. -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Claws Mail 3.17.5 - KDE Plasma 5.18.5 - Kubuntu 20.04 _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
