From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Manjaro: Can't access smb share with GTK-based apps (feddit.de)

Hello,

I've just started to return to linux as my main work environment after a few years of abstinence.

I want to access an smb share, which is running on my NAS system, which is working fine with plasma / KDE apps, but with GTK-based apps, like Firefox and Code, I can't see my share.

Edit: the mount issue has been solved, the error was in front of the screen.

mount -t nfs nas:/sharedFolder /mnt/entrypoint creates a symlink but then never finishes running. I've installed gvfs-smb.

What am I doing wrong?

I use Manjaro Plasma btw.

You're right, I've been mixing up nfs and smb.

Meanwhile, I've found a solution: I've added the following line to my /etc/fstab:

//nas/sharedFolder /mnt/entrypoint cifs credentials=/home/yourUserNameHere/.nascreds,uid=yourUserID,gid=yourGroupID,defaults,auto 0 0

then run sudo systemctl daemon-reload followed by sudo mount -av.

make sure your credentials file can only read by users and groups you trust, in my case it's 750.

However, this is still a workaround. The thing is, GTK-based apps don't show network resources. That irks me.
