Topic: Network

Hello again smile

Now that I've installed thunar instead of pcmanfm,  I can't browse the local network through thunar since it doesn't support samba.

So how can I make it work?

I've read this thread: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/242/view-lan/

And it seemed that no one really solved the problem using thunar with "samba"

I've tried the: 

sudo apt-get install smbnetfs
mkdir ~/.smb
cp -v /etc/samba/smb.conf ~/.smb/
cp -v /etc/smbnetfs.conf ~/.smb/
mkdir ~/network
smbnetfs ~/network

Solution, but it didn't work. When I run the :" smbnetfs ~/network " : command in a terminal , it gives me the::

fusermount: failed to open /etc/fuse.conf: Permission denied
fusermount: failed to access mountpoint /home/sune/network: Permission denied

Error::

So here's my question:

Did anyone find a solution? - and what about gnome-commander. Can it be used to browse through my local network ?

Or is there an alternative method?

Re: Network

I would also like to know, as I use thunar too.

On Thunar's website, in the faq, it talks about browsing a local network. It recommends this guide, so you can try and give that a go.

Re: Network

Try this:

sudo apt-get install fusesmb gvfs-fuse gigolo

and see if Gigolo works for you.

If that doesn't work, then change the volume manager implementation from HAL to unix in Gigolo preferences.

Re: Network

I tried fusesmb and it did not cooperate well so I moved to pyNeighborhood and it  has worked well for me (although I use pcmanfm). The ubuntu forums has a little blurb on setting it up that I'd recommend if fusesmb doesnt work: link

One last thing to try... I think you need to add yourself to the fuse group.  I had to do that when I tried the sshfs thing.

Re: Network

I tried the pyneighborhood, and it seems to be working. So i'll stick to it.

Glad it works for you, Sunai!

But nothing works for me sad

Maybe someone with a similar setup can suggest something?

I am running #! 9.04 Lite on an eeePC 701. WiFi is working fine for internet applications, but not for my LAN. My LAN is a Linksys WRT54G router connecting to my ADSL modem and a Linksys NSLU2 network-attached storage unit as well as my desktop Windows PC. I can "see" the NSLU2 from my desktop PC as well as from my wife's Vista laptop.

I have followed the referenced thread on Ubuntu Forum to install pyNeighborhood. I use Nautilus fle manager.

in Nautilus, the "Network" icon can "see" the Windows Network and my "MSHOME" workgroup. But I can click no further with Nautilus - I get "Unable to mount location - failed to retrieve share list from server".

Using pyNeighborhood, "Scan workgroup MSHOME" gives "Failed to scan workgroup MSHOME".

I even turned off my Windows firewall without any difference.

I am beginning to think there is some configuration data missing in my Samba applications.

Anybody know what could be wrong?

Re: Network

I wonder if using a newer version of pyneighborhood would help:

w00t! Glad I helped save you some of the headache I endured trying to get the same thing working for three months. Lemme know if you try anything else with positive results down the road.
