    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    Thank you so much!!

    I have now my TERA (1 TB ) in "places"....

    But I couldn`t resolve the encoding issue yet!

    I've tried:

    iocharset=iso8859-1
    iocharset=iso8859-15
    nls=iso8859-1 (and 15)
    nls=utf8

    but no luck. As I said before, TERA is NTFS formatted, but is installed into a 8.10 Ubuntu.

    Any help???

    Thanks again!

    Let me know if that does what you need.

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    ^_Pepe_^, as far as I can see, you have three options:
    utf8, iso8859-1, and iso8859-15

    You could also try:
    iocharset=nls_iso8859-15
    iocharset=nls_iso8859-1
    iocharset=cp1252

    I really struggle to find information about character sets and codepage on the internet. It seems that very few people are knowledgeable about the subject. It would also be extremely helpful to know exactly what characterset you're TERA drive is using.

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    Hi!

    Thank you for our time and help.

    I think that clearly iso8859-15 is my issue, because it has á,é,í,ó,ú,ñ and € (€ symbols is the difference between -1 and -15 versions).

    After this, I have guessed that iocharset=iso8859-15 has been replaced by nls=iso8859-15, but no luck yet.

    I have to found out the solution to "CIFS server not responding" hang on logout. Fortunately I found solution on this same forum (with a workaround script).

    But the charset is still not fine.



    How can I find my TERA disk charset? This HDD was previously mounted and installed into XP machine, but I installed (without changes) in my Ubuntu machine (virus free)...

    This is my recent fstab line (see very useful _netdev command, than wait for network to connect for mounting the unit):
    Code:
    //192.168.1.13/tera         /media/TERA  cifs _netdev,auto,exec,user,rw,nls=iso8859-15 0 0
    Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    More information to this.

    I have VNC connected to my 8.10 machine, where I have physically connected TERA unit, and tried to mount "My Documents" (NTFS, of course) folder from my Windows machine, and I there was strange characters on ñ, á...either using utf8 and iso8859-15.

    Regards

    Sounds like your file names got corrupted somehow. I've had this happen before and the only fix was to rename all the broken file names.

    I have tried it this morning, but I could. If I press F2 to change the name, system throws an error saying something about codification.

    I'll keep on searching....

    You'll have to fix the file names directly rather than over samba.

    That is in the troubleshooting section of my howto

    Something that might be causing you trouble is that you're using the nls=iso8859-15 option. This is not a valid cifs option. If you think you need nls, you should try mounting with this option:
    iocharset=nls_iso8859-15

    I also ran across this earlier: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowT...FATFileSystems

    With that in mind, you might try this:
    Code:
    //192.168.1.13/tera         /media/TERA  cifs _netdev,auto,exec,user,rw,iocharset=cp850 0 0

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    Ok!

    I don't give up, but I didn't improve a bit.

    Let's sum up:

    1. If I type smb://mylinuxmachineIP/tera, I can reach all my tera files, with perfect codification, both nautilus and console.

    2. Unfortunately, this is not enough, because this files can't be reachables from applications (Amarok, Picasa, AFAIK...) unless you mount your unit in /mnt/TERA...

    3. If I use my mount in fstab, I can see my TERA disk (ntfs formatted) perfectly but, with wrong codification. ñ,á,é,í,ó,ú are substituted by ?

    4. But...(this is incredible...) if I open Picasa 3.0, and I "add folder" from my TERA disk... I can see correct names. Only nautilus and ls command (in console) are wrong.

    Ok, I can survive with this, but I'm not giving up.

    BTW, Does anybody know how to create a direct link to a "smb://..." location on the desktop. Furthermore, is there any applet for the bars to mount net shares as there're for local mounts?

    To be honest, I have spent 3 procrastination days to customize my 9.04 RC...

    Thanks to everyone
