Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

First post!

I get a 'Connection Refused' error when I try using WM to mount a shared folder on an Iomega Network Hard Drive.

I can (I think) mount the same share via xterm and using the commands listed in previous posts (df -h displays the total size of the various storage available). However, even when this is successful the folders do not show up in File Manager.

Any ideas on how I can resolve this issue?

I have managed to use WM to mount shared folders on my laptop :0)

TIA.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Back in the thread it's been said that mounts don't show up in File Manager unless mounted in /media. Normal /mnt mounts are hidden.

Also, you should make sure you can mount from command line, as it makes a difference if you can. Also back in this thread are other posts with similar issues, and walkthroughs on how to check if it actually works, including checking from Linux and Windows outside the N900.

Finally, what does the said network drive use as a protocol?

Thx, worked for me also.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

@ndi
If I understand your question correctly the protocol in use is a SAMBA share. I have tried many of your (and other suggestions from previous posts) and have made no progress.

i can successfully mount from command line using

mount -t cifs //192.168.0.24/test2 /media/test2 -o user=USERNAME,pass=PASSWORD

and I can cd to test2 directory and ls results in correct list of files on remote drive. File manager still does not show mounted share.

A 'Remote_Filesystems' directory has been created in test2 directory though.

TIA

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Well, WM mounts in the Remote_Filesystems/user@IP/, not sure how much it matters, given the fact that MMC1 mounts directly to /media.

I have attached an image of a mounted share in the FM, as well as a structure of my filesystem. I'll let you spot the differences.

Is the said test2 empty? I think it's skipped if empty.

Oh, one more thing: Don't be TOO upset if it doesn't show up in Nokia's FM. I've had a few bad experiences with it, a copied file didn't match MD5 after copying several times. As a result, cp and MC are my tools now.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

I've had a little more success thanks to your tips. I can mount the share from a command line and access the folders within. I don't anticipate needing to copy files to or from it but prefer the 'accessability' of media files using file manager.

My main reason for wanting to access the remote storage is to be able to play media files on n900 which are stored on the drive. I understand that there is a way of opening files from a command line but that this requires quite a long and complicated string.

any ideas about what I should enter into the fields in WM so that I can mount using this instead of command line? I've tried many combinations of folder names, username and password.

TIA.

edit
I had another thought - would firewall settings on router make any difference? Would firewall settings allow mounting from command line but not from WM? Just a thought....

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

You should enter info it requests. The host is host (no slashes), user, pass as needed (make sure N900 doesn't capitalize the user and password, it's darn annoying).

My WM works great, I'm up to 3 (as per screenshot) mounts both here and at the office.

Availability of media will have to wait, transfers are darn slow. Maybe MP3, because video will NOT stream fast enough. With improvements, I'm up to around 100K per second. This is enough to stream audio, but even well=-compressed video is a bit much, especially with jitter and stuff.

Overall, it's a nice thing. I use it to move large amounts of data from the N900 to the PC, as I use mail to move single files that are smaller. I just set MC to copy/move and leave it be.

Your best bet in media over wifi and N900 is streaming. Or a bit more wait until someone takes a look at what is so slow and patches it. Until then, snailsville. Several people said they'll be looking into it, this far limited success.

I installed WM, works, but when reaching 100% of Copyng, the screen remains, and FM freezes, i have to do End Current Task?!

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

FM does that. Use MC or the CLI.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

wizard-mounter starts up ok but crashes me to desktop when I press the mount button.

Does anyone know where I can find the log files for WM?

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

I have the same problem here! It shows a segfault if you start the program from terminal using the "wizard-mounter" command.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Hello. I have an eTRAYz nas and I wish to connect it via cifs to my n900. But it tells me connection refused. I tried nfs as the nas supports it and nfs works. So why does cifs not work and nfs work?

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Wizard-Mounter is now mounting Samba shares on my N900 post PR 1.3

I don't know if it's working better because of PR 1.3 or because all applications were re-installed. Previously with PR 1.2 I had uninstalled & re-installed Wizard Mounter several times without getting it to work. This time, it found the old config from the PR1.3 restore, & connected with the settings that had not worked previously.

Observations:
1. Will not work with server name, only with IP address. Server name makes it crash to the desktop with no error message.

2. "guest" will not work as WM's mandatory Username for mounts that do not require a username. "None" works OK.

3. Browsing the mounted drive is best done with Filebox, not File Manager. File Manager takes a VERY long time before displaying the directory list, giving the impression that the phone has locked or that the share has not been mounted.

4. I understand that listing the mounted drive in /media is a Linux convention, but it limits Wizard Mounter's useability from the general user and only to N900 geeks who have installed root access. It would likely make it a more useable tool for the general user if they were mounted in a new directory in /home/user that could be browsed with an N900 off-the-shelf.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

At 2, I'd point out that SMB is a MS protocol and the Linux implementation follows that. As a result, on many implementations, "guest" is magic, as it doesn't log on as any random, passwordless user, but instead attempts to log on to the guest account which, in Windows, is magic and unique, like root is on Linux. If the target machine has guest off (in Windows), it gives you the boot, even if the share if free for all.

As for FM being unable to work right it's a shame, but in all fairness it was designed to work with flash storage in local mode. Use MC and you'll be fine. I find Firefox lacking for massive operations and uploads.

All the unicode (greek) names in the shared windows folder are coming up as question marks. I have already installed the unicode filesystem package. Any ideas?

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

So are we. I know this is a troll thing to say, but, wouldn't it be easier on everything if you just used ASCII names? Or simply add an English alias to the share, the same folder can be shared under different names.

I finally was able to mount a windows7 shared folder using this:
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.8/Downloads /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/LaloPC/ -o username=Eduardo,password=

when I tried it using WM it says "Connection time out" :s
duno why.
wanted to thnx to everybode here cuz their posts help me a lot.

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

Just replying to say that i too can mount just fine with the terminal but i get "connection refused" with WM

Re: [Announce] wizard-mounter for fremantle
 

hello great app ! I have an issue that i can sold temporarly by deleting /home/user/.wm
When i wanted to use wizard-mounter I'had this error :
"[mount] Ops! An error occured :
mount: mounting //192.168.1.43/julien on /media/Remote_Filesystems/julien@192.168.1.43 failed: Permission denied"
If I use in busybox :
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.43/julien /media/Remote_Filesystems/julien@192.168.1.43 -o username=julien,password=mypssw
It says : mount: permission denied. (are you root?)

If i add "sudo"
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.43/julien /media/Remote_Filesystems/julien@192.168.1.43 -o username=julien,password=mypssw
it works and i can use wizard-mounter to umount the file

I deleted /home/user/.wm after stopping wm, then restarted wm and create a new "profile" and it works. But restarting wm and the problem comes back
