Did you check this link:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...1.5.6maemo5.1/

It has message:

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

I am really struggling to get this to work, using v1.5.6.

I have saved a profile for my server, when I click mount is says mounted and the following empty folder is created I do not see any files.
/media/Remote_Filesystems/_Photos@192.168.1.66

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Yes, but I think this warning isn't be a block for the promotion.
Maybe am wrong?
Btw, to set the bugtracker link I think I need to create and upload a new deb :(

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Can you check if it is correctly mounted? running df or mount.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Not showing in df or mout lists

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Try to mount it manually from command line and see if it mount correctly.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

So if I'm using .1.5.6 there's no need for replacing the prerm-file? The one I have listed in /var/lib/dpkg/info is 716 byte, dating 2010-2-13, 17:52

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Not used samba before, is this the correct command
"mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.66/photos /media/Remote_Filesystems/_Photos@192.168.1.66 -o username=,password="

it fails no such device

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

@sxg75 : yes, the prerm script need to be fixed only if you have ver. 1.5.4
@fred123 : for mount samba use this command :
/usr/bin/sudo /bin/mount -tcifs "//192.168.1.66/photos" /mnt/tmp -ouser=guest,pass=guest

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

@b0unc3
/usr/bin/sudo /bin/mount -tcifs "//192.168.1.66/photos" /mnt/tmp -ouser=guest,pass=guest

gives me permission denied, adding server user and password gives the same. I wonder app says mounted ok?

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

You can mount it from other linux machine ?
Maybe is a server configuration problem.
Btw, if mount fail the app will caught the fail and returning the error output.
It says "Mounting Process Complete" ?

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Ok i have deleted all the profiles and /media folders, recreated the profile and it now gives permission denied. Back to trying to sort vista out, or maybe i will just give up and ssh evrything on to the n900.

Thanks for your help.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

I tried mounting with wizard mounter(running as root) and although it says it mounts fine nothing shows up. I just shared a folder but nothing shows up. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate X64.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Where are you looking for it at? How are you trying to find it?

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

In /media/Remote_Filesystems/_@192.168.1.87
Where 192.168.1.87 obviously is the computers ip.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Can you cd into the mount point and do an ls?

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

seems like you have set a wrong directory name.
Btw, there is no need to run wizard-mounter as root.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Any chance you can make it show/browse the shares, for a point and click kinda experience?

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Maybe, I can try...

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

If I don't run it as root is says it doesn't find the ip-address. First time I tried to mount it complained it couldn't create the folder. The settings are as follow:
Address: 192.168.1.87
Remote directory: /
Username: <username I use for sharing>
Password: <password, obviously>

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

I'm thinking your sharename in windows is not "/"

You need to find the sharename

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Wow, youre right. Now its working. I thought you could see all shares, but obviously you cant.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

This is my experience and feel after testing 1.5.6maemo5.1

Tested against a win7 box one default admin share and one user created share both with username and password.

See the screenshot.

http://home.broadpark.no/~noway/N900....6maemo5.1.png

The topmost Samba mapping is created using a profile then mount IP + D$ it worked at once but initially browsing took its time, slow, felt like some sort of indexing/caching was done, hung for a while. After that browsing was ok.

The other mapping is a Samba Quick Mount using a standard user created share.

Copy files both ways no problem.

Umount unmounted both shares with no warning.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Hi,

I would like to inform you that I promote ver. 1.5.7 to extras-testing:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...1.5.7maemo5.1/

The only changes from previous version are only few optimisations on debian/control and I have removed the old unecessary files.

Test&vote ;)

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

For some reason I can't get this to work. I have multiple shares on my mediapc running winxp, which is connected to my wireless router (wired connection though), my N900 is obviously using WLAN. I can access the shares from my other laptop, so settings in the windows box should be correct.

My settings in wizard-mounter are like this:

Server address: 192.168.0.196
Remote directory: newshare (this is the actual windows sharing name)

both username and password are left blank, I'm just using the simple sharing in windows without user authentication.

With these settings it just keeps on trying for a long(ish) while and then finally "Connection timed out".

Any suggestions?

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

For samba shares you must enter username/password (you can use the guest user if it is not setted on your server).
Btw for the "Connection timed out" error you'd better make sure that the remote address is correct (can you ping this address ?)

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

The new version is broken for me. I had several NFS shares and one Samba share that worked great until I updated. Now I get error messages like:

(misspellings and all)

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

The problem is due to a not complete uninstall from the app-manager.
Following these steps you will resolve all of your problems:
1. uninstall wizard-mouinter from the app-manager
2. open up the terminal and execute :
dpkg --purge wizard-mounter
3. re-install wizard-mounter normally

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Thanks. That does fix the problem I was having.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

It's working great for me! :)
(Popcornhour C-200)
Thank you, Daniele

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

The address is indeed correct, I can ping it from the terminal just fine. The sharename is also 100% correct, but it just doesn't work. Also, I can access the shares with my laptop which is connected to the same WLAN as the N900. No authentication required with the laptop (running xp) either. I have TVersity server on the mediapc which I can see as DLNA share in the media player and the file manager. I even tried turning that off in the odd chance that it would've affected the problem, but it didn't seem to make any difference at all.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

@b0unc3

I'm unable to mount any share in windows domain.
Wizard creates directory
/media/Remote_Filesystems/<path>@<server>

without errors - but empty. I checked profile ./wm and it is 100% correct.

Could be any relation with:
mount -t cifs //<server>/<path> /<your>/<local>/<path> -o user=<domain>/<user>,pass=<pass>,ip=<ip of server>,direct
You get message: "Mounting the DFS root for domain not implemented yet" ?


This is without troubles:
mount.cifs //<server>/<path> /<your>/<local>/<path> -ouser=<domain>/<user>,pass=<pass>,ip=<ip of server>,direct

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Yes, I bet the problem is with the error output you're getting running mount manually , since wizard-mounter run exactly that command.
I have to admit that I don't know very well what this error mean or what cause it (maybe the cifs module?).
Btw the main difference between running "mount -t cifs" or "mount.cifs" is that mount.cifs will auto-resolve the ip address of the server for you if you don't pass it in the -o command line (iirc) but wizard-mounter has a workaround to automatically resolve the ip address (maybe check out the ip address?).
I will investigate more on this behavior.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Hi,

I just registered to this forum as i am having a problem with this package. First of all thanks very much for doing it, i find it very useful. Now to the problem:

I have UTF8 encoded file-system in my samba share, so i needed the nls_utf8 package from testing, and i can even mount correctly (using iocharset=utf8) from the terminal. Unfortunately, i couldn't find this possibility in wizard-mounter.

If there is indeed no such option, would it be possible to add a checkbox for example at samba bookmark creation, for utf8 file-systems? Or alternatively add a field for user defined options. Also, i think it would be a good idea to add a dependency for this nls_utf8 package.

Thanks,
-sc

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Hi,
first of all, welcome! :)
Unfortunately there is ( :( ) no possibility (atm) to pass optional parameters to the mount command but I would also say that this is on my ToDo list, so it should be available in the next version.
Putting nls_utf8 as dependency could not be a good option, whoever want to pass optional parameter to the mount command I suppose he know what is doing and what he need.


Best Regards.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

b0unc3,

Excellent application, works great for me for most of my shares, save one issue I ran into:

I have a share I want to mount. Considering my credentials for that share, the password has a comma (",") in the password. In the documentation of the CIFS kernel module, they make sure to let you know that this will cause an issue, the workarounds being invoking "mount" with the password set in an environment variable or using a credentials file. I tried both approaches without success, which I believe is attributed to differences between a traditional "mount" and busybox "mount".

Has anyone else run into this issue and successfully resolved this? When I get some free time (ha!) I might look into this a bit more.

EDIT: I downloaded the mount.cifs linked in this thread and ran the appropriate command for using mount.cifs with a credentials file, that worked just fine. Do you think you could bake that into a future release?

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Yes, I think I'll come back to use mount.cifs as it was before.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

If I ssh to the device and mkdir /mnt/frank as root I can then execute:

Nokia-N900-42-11:/root$ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.3/frank /mnt/frank -o u r=guest,pass=
Nokia-N900-42-11:/root$

But if I try to mount using wizard-mounter 1.5.7maemo5.1 I get "Connection refused". This is with Server Address = 192.168.1.3 and Remote Resource = frank

Any ideas?

thanks,
Frank

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

You need to set also the username/password (guest I suppose)
