In response to my plea for help in the previous message, @elfprince suggested that the Dolphin problem sounded like a permissions issue. He was right. I had created those /mnt
folders with mkdir
commands in the terminal, where I was working temporarily as root. Thus, the mounts and their contents had root as an owner, and root as a group. I used chown
and chgrp
to change both of those to me, like this:
Sadly, though, that didn't solve Dolphin's problem. It still just displayed the shares, but couldn't get into any of them. It displays the same error message as before I modified the permissions. And that ownership change wasn't even required yesterday for Nautilus to access the shares normally. I'm going to change my mind now, and install Nautilus, just to show that there's really a difference.
As I mentioned earlier, in Nautilus I need to go to the /mnt
folder, and for each folder inside it, I need to open that folder and right-click to expose "Add to Bookmarks." I can do that with just Ctrl+D. so it's a pretty quick and simple operation.
Here's the result in Nautilus. It's taller than Dolphin, because it spaces the bookmarks farther apart, but the result works, and it survives restarts.
And to illustrate that those places actually do work, here's a partial list from one of the shares.
I should mention again that I did not need to change those permissions yesterday to make this work with Nautilus, and I should not have needed to do that in order to get Dolphin to work right. But I'm not going to obsess about that. I'm going to move on with some more configuration, and if I feel the need to document any more of this experiment, I'll do that here.
