[opensuse] Mounting windows-shares
Hi, I'm migrating my laptop from Opensuse 12.2 to 13.1. One of the show-stoppers is mounting windows-shares. On 12.2 I use smb4k but on 13.1 smb4k is not working properly. So is there a way to gracefully mount windows-shares ? I know I can do this manually, on the command-line, as root. I also could add entries in fstab, but what happens when the server is not available, like at home ? I know I can browse the shares in Dolphin, but it seems not all applications can handle these "mounts", or do it in two stages like LibreOffice, with extra user/password entries and clicks. I googled a bit and I found autofs can do this also. I'm going to give that a try. Are there other options ? Thanks for your input.

You could put it in /etc/fstab: //ATHENAE/C$/ /athenae/ cifs user,noauto,rw,uid=lindaw,nocase,serverino,credentials=/home/lindaw/.ssh/athenae,setuids,noauto 0 0 --/home/law/ssh/.atheae-- username=lindaw password=******* domain=BLISS ---- then whenever you want to use it, you mount it as root... or unmount when necessary... ... Or you can put the above in an automount, I'm not on a laptop, so a static mount as needed worked for me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

What in particular do you find wrong with smb4k? I just tried smb4k on my 13.1 desktop. It did seem a bit cranky at first, it didn't seem to be able to browse my network. But its some time since I last used it - prior to 13.1 I think. After I disabled "Use default login" under Settings Authentication, it now seems to be functioning. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
