Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs
After some more googling, I managed to find this solution (not sure how I didn't find this the first go 'round): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=159915
So, my fstab entry now looks like this:
Code:
//192.168.0.101/Volume_1 /home/USERNAME/DNS-323 cifs sec=ntlm,guest,rw,iocharset=utf8,nounix,gid=1000,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs
Hi, appologies if this has been answered in the previous pages. Has anyone had issues when not on yor home network. I have a NetGear NAS drive root mounted just as instructed on page 1, however when I'm away / no network access it starts hanging after about 3 reboots. In this state I get HD errors which can be seen in terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1), desktop takes ages to appear. I have to boot off the Live USB, do a sudo fsck -f on the HD to clear the many errors it finds before booting normally, the cycle seems to repeat and I can never get the laptop to work as good as it does at home. Even after clearing the Errors or getting it home Ubuntu just boots up in "nothing wrong with me", it's so robust, I've never lost anything or the use of anything. Totally confusing but quite nice to have it carry on.. I did try #'ing out the entry in etc/fstab and will continue to investigate, I'm not 100% sure it's this, this is my first hunch, is there a way to log the boot process and then make it go wrong..?
