and try again” up vote 9 down vote favorite 1 This don't think this is the typical, "I can't mount a windows share" post. I am using stock Ubuntu 12.04. I am pretty sure this is a Nautilus issue, but I have reached a dead end. I have one share that I can't mount using smb://server/share via nautilus. I get the following error. Error: Failed to mount Windows share Please select another viewer and try again ubuntu failed to mount windows share connection timed out I can mount this share from other machines(non-ubuntu) using the same credentials so I know I have perms on the destination share. I can mount other shares on other servers from my Ubuntu box so I am pretty sure I have all the smb packages I need on my Ubuntu box. To make thing more interesting, if I use smbclient from the command line, I mount this share with no problems from my Ubuntu box. So here's what we know: destination share perms are ok (no problem accessing from other machines) smb is setup correctly on Ubuntu box (access other windows shares no problem) I only get the error when using nautilus smbclient in terminal works, no problem Any help would be greatly appreciated. Googling turned up simple mount/perms issues, and I don't think that is what is going on here. Let me know if you need more information.

I'm having a problem with Samba, which started after a certain upgrade on the fifth of january. I cannot access any Samba shares, neither from the server itself when browsing the network, neither from an other (windows) client. It's strange as it did work until that fateful update. The error I get is 'Failed to mount windows share'. Samba's log (var/log/samba/log.heinzvoerbakje) says: [2009/01/07 23:39:00, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1156) '/home/myname/share' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [share] Error was Permission denied The usershares in /var/lib/samba/usershares says for this folder: #VERSION 2 path=/home/myname/share comment= usershare_acl=S-1-1-0:R guest_ok=y Who has any clue?

(I hope I'm posting in the https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56914 right section of the forum)So I've recently switched to GNOME. When I https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/samba was using KDEmod, all I needed to do is load the fuse module, and I was able to access smb://windows-box-address/share on another computer.I've been reading the Arch wiki and googling around, but to be honest, I actually don't know where to start and what I'm doing wrong.When failed to I go to Places --> Network in GNOME, it sees the Windows box on the network, but when I open it in Nautilus, the shares aren't shown.And if I go to Places --> Connect to server and enter the address and my username, it asks for a password and then an error pops out, saying "Can't display location "smb://windows-box-address/share/; The failed to mount specified location is not mounted".Could someone point me to where I'm going wrong?I'm sorry for not providing more information, but like I said, I really have no idea where to start.Many thanks!edit: solved (see below) Last edited by Wintershade (2008-10-23 22:09:57) Only the best is good enough.

I'm not an expert but for the error that you show maybe your problem is about udev or hal or fstab because the error is saying that the shareis not mounted, so maybe you have to mounted first. Did you seach for samba shares ? Offline #3 2008-10-14 10:22:46 SiC Member From: Liverpool, England Registered: 2008-01-10 Posts: 429 Re: [SOLVED] Accessing Windows shares on GNOME? I just can't...
