    Is there something in Edgy that does that??
    i don't know ... but i can test it tonight after i get home from work. did you dist-upgrade from dapper?

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    OK. I decided to be a little more methodical about this!

    Thinking perhaps that I had tweaked something that shouldn't be tweaked, yesterday morning I did a clean reinstall of Edgy. I wrote down each step to keep track of what I did and the result.

    Here's what I've learned so far:

    smbtree would only give 'clean' results (ie, no timeout errors) if I had NO OPENDNS IP ADDRESSES anywhere! (not in the router, nor in the DNS tab of Network Settings)

    I was able to get a clean smbtree with Static (not DHCP) IP settings and the router ip address (192.168.0.1) in the Networking control panel.

    My problem now is when I try and do a manual mount, I'm getting this:

    amdsignin@AMD64:~$ sudo mount -t cifs //DELL-Ubuntu/DellFiles /media/dellshare -o user=dellsignin,password=dellpswd,iocharset=utf8,f ile_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //DELL-Ubuntu/DellFiles,
    missing codepage or other error

    In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
    dmesg | tail or so
    I hadn't seen that error on my previous attempts (pre- clean install), and I'm a little baffled at what it's telling me...
    "He who lives by the penguin, dies by the penguin."
    (at least 'till he figures out what he's doing!)

    what did dmesg | tail say? also, try the mount command without the utf8 option:
    Code:
    sudo mount -t cifs //DELL-Ubuntu/DellFiles /media/dellshare -o user=dellsignin,password=dellpswd,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
    also just noticed, there was a space after the "f" in file_mode=0777 ... that might have caused your problem.

    edit:
    i did a bit more reading over at opendns and fount a possible solution which might allow you to use your opendns settings.

    try using open dns addresses and use this line for your mount command:
    Code:
    sudo mount -t cifs //DELL-Ubuntu./DellFiles /media/dellshare -o user=dellsignin,password=dellpswd,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
    note the "." after DELL-Ubuntu. this may or may not work, but that's the solution that opendns gives for this problem.

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    I appreciate your ongoing research! Here's what happened when I tried again tonight:

    me@AMD64:~$ sudo mount -t cifs //DELL-Ubuntu/DellFiles /media/dellshare -o user=dellsignin,password=dellpswd,file_mode=0777,d ir_mode=0777
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //DELL-Ubuntu/DellFiles,
    missing codepage or other error
    In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
    dmesg | tail or so

    me@AMD64:~$ dmesg | tail

    (Note: The space after the d in "dir_mode=" was NOT entered into the terminal--that's some artifact of this posting procedure...)

    I'll try your opendns workaround AFTER I get at least ONE clean connection from one machine to the other!

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    i vaguely recall having this exact same problem.

    what happens when you do this:
    Code:
    sudo aptitude install smbfs

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    I've tried this guide and everything seemed to be OK until the end, when I did the sudo mount -a, and I got:

    Code:
    mount error 13 = Permission denied
    Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
    Now, my windows share doesn't need a password, because I've always accessed it without one, is there something I'm missing?

    The line I added to the fstab, looks like this:

    Code:
    //DIMENSIONE310/C$ /media/here cifs guest,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
    and my smbtree looks like this:

    Code:
    HERE
            \\UBUNTU                        ubuntu server (Samba, Ubuntu)
                    \\UBUNTU\ADMIN$                 IPC Service (ubuntu server (Samba, Ubuntu))

                    \\DIMENSIONE310\C$              Default share
                    \\DIMENSIONE310\ADMIN$          Remote Admin

                    \\DIMENSIONE310\print$          Printer Drivers

                    \\DIMENSIONE310\IPC$            Remote IPC
                    \\DIMENSIONE310\My Documents
    (I'm not sure if this is relevant or not, but I can browse my shares with firefox with no problem.)

    okay ... looks like you're trying to mount a device (C$) rather than a share. it should work if you mount x, My Music, SharedDocs, or My Documents.

    to mount a share with a space in the name use a reverse slash in front of the space like so:
    Code:
    //DIMENSIONE310/My\ Music /media/here cifs guest,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    That's right. Thank you.

    However, the reverse slash didn't do it for me. fstab doesn't seem to accept any spaces, so I had to use a 040 instead of the space:

    Code:
    //DIMENSIONE310/My\040Music /media/here cifs guest,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
    This was a good, simple guide. Thanks again.

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    Why on earth would I be getting THIS now?!

    me@AMD64:~$ sudo mount -t cifs //DELL-Ubuntu/DellFiles /media/dellshare -o user=dellsignin,password=dellpswd,file_mode=0777,d ir_mode=0777
    mount error: could not find target server. TCP name DELL-Ubuntu/DellFiles not found
