Using PCmanFM to view networked computers---- (Solved)

(1/6) > >>

ka9yhd:
The other nite I was at my friends house and I was using my laptop running PClinuxOS-OpenBox Bonsai.  I could see all of the computers on my friends network using PCmanFM 1.10, but when I clicked on one to view the contents of the hard drive I receive and error message of:

Not mounted


I am not presented with any way to mount the networked computer.

djohnston:
More details, please. From PCManFM, you are clicking Go > Network Drives. Then you see networked computers. Is it a Linux BSD or Windows network? Do you have samba client installed? If not, do you have nfs installed?

Are you starting PCManFM as root or as a regular user? Here are a couple of threads dealing with samba mounts:

Okay, go to the OpenSuse forums link posted above and start reading from the fourth post (oldcpu's). To cut to the chase, the next post, from anubisg1, says:


--- Citer ---using "su -" than pcmanfm works without warning.

Try that method, browse to the networked drive, try to mount it, then see if you get a samba prompt for a user and password. Open a terminal.


--- Code: ---su -
pcmanfm &
exit
--- Fin du code ---

Don't enter exit in the terminal until you have closed pcmanfm.

Have you tried using Gigolo?  I know it's a different distro but this Mint thread on your question might help.  It's LXDE with PCManFM - close!

Also look at melodie's tip on using Gigolo.  Gigolo does Windows shares.

EDIT - found this on the PCLOS forum.  The suggestion was Pyneighborhood but in the end lead to this link on the Mint forums. 
Basically the upshot is that if you're not using Nautilus then your FM - PCManFM, Thunar etc - need a helper to network.  Gigolo and Pyneighborhood are two, and they should both be in your PCLOS repo.

I've never had success using Gigolo.

It just doesn't see everything.   If not installed at boot.

I've thought it needs a refresh button, where hald would
pick  up new usb's after boot.   Or network items  contacted
after boot as well.   Refresh would run hald and bingo,
everything would be there.   Like fsarchiver probe from
terminal, waiting to be mounted in the Gigolo  gui.

Maybe I'm just stupid about something, I use PcManFM
instead.   But Gigolo does have the potential, but doesn't
perform up to it for me.   Could be a great "mount tool"  .

Perhaps run hald from root terminal, could refresh PcManFM
as well.

Oh well.
