Fedora 39
KDE DE
Current Login: "User" with Password "1"
This allows me to connect to the share; however, it is “empty” on both the local and the remote machines.
I’ve followed at least 5-6 guides all w/ completely different instructions and would love somebody w/ experience on this to point to my fuck up and what I’m very clearly missing.
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
[share]
path = /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F/
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
create mask = 0777
public = yes
guest ok = yes
sudo nano /etc/fstab
/dev/disk/by-uuid/D02A6F152A6EF7BC /mnt/D02A6F152A6EF7BC auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
//192.168.0.30/share /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F cifs username=user,password=1 0 0
Dolphin also has this tab below (local machine w/ the mounted drive), but any password input doesn’t do anything (the explorer flashes w/ no info about what the “Set Password” button did)
I don’t fully understand this setup. Did I misunderstand something?
You have a Fedora PC with an NTFS partition mounted to /run/media/user/share.
The Fedora computer shares a directory /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F over Samba.
Fedora and another computer connect to /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F/ over Samba, but they show no content.
Did you perhaps forget to remount your NTFS partition to /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F/? Otherwise I don’t see a way to access the content with your current configuration.
The configuration change in /etc/fstab is what stopped it being mounted correctly on boot. But is what was recommended for the SMB share.
I’m not sure I understand why it changes from MNT to Media based on the GUI’s changes to the drive. If I have it auto-mount, it adds a 2nd listing like this:
//192.168.0.30/share /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F auto cifs username=user,password=1 0 0
/dev/disk/by-uuid/2666EE3966EE097F /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
Do I combine them in some fashion lol?
Did I misunderstand something?
No, I’m stupid :'(
You need to put the bommon line /dev/disk/by-uuid/2666EE3966EE097F /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0 onto the computer with the NTFS partition.
The top line //192.168.0.30/share /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F auto cifs username=user,password=1 0 0 is for mounting the Samba share on another device.
Gotcha I appreciate your patience w/ my silly questions lol
If the now correctly mounted folder is empty, is that a read/write issue for:
- the user on the remote machine
- the logged-in user on the local machine
- the user running the samba service?
