Hello,

I’ve just started to return to linux as my main work environment after a few years of abstinence.

I want to access an smb share, which is running on my NAS system, which is working fine with plasma / KDE apps, but with GTK-based apps, like Firefox and Code, I can’t see my share.

Edit: the mount issue has been solved, the error was in front of the screen.

mount -t nfs nas:/sharedFolder /mnt/entrypoint creates a symlink but then never finishes running. I’ve installed gvfs-smb.

What am I doing wrong?

I use Manjaro Plasma btw.

    You’re right, I’ve been mixing up nfs and smb.

    Meanwhile, I’ve found a solution: I’ve added the following line to my /etc/fstab:

    //nas/sharedFolder /mnt/entrypoint cifs credentials=/home/yourUserNameHere/.nascreds,uid=yourUserID,gid=yourGroupID,defaults,auto 0 0

    then run sudo systemctl daemon-reload followed by sudo mount -av.

    make sure your credentials file can only read by users and groups you trust, in my case it’s 750.

    However, this is still a workaround. The thing is, GTK-based apps don’t show network resources. That irks me.
