The hidden directories are renamed in the N900 File-manager.
.documents -> Documents
.sounds -> Audio Clips
.video -> Video Clips
.images -> Images
DCIM -> Camera

So in Ubuntu, view the hidden directories and you should be good to go. 'ls -la' or Ctrl+H in Nautilus.

Is it just me, or is that behaviour completely perverse and entirely unhelpful? What's the supposed upside of hiding the directories (using the unix convention) then making them visible again via Filemanager hacks?

Also - what happens if you just rename them so they're actually called their 'user visible' names?

Excellent. Didn't think of that. Doh!!

Anyhow now I have your ear is there any way to mount smb shares on the N900 and vice a versa. Even just a point in the general direction of a solution would be good. Since with the meamo platform I dont know how much is applicable from previous versions.

I guess it stops people deleting them by accident?!?

IIRC, it is related to localization.

The File-Manager may take a dump. It should be worth trying it out :P

IIRC, smb shares are not supported out of the box. It requires loading some kernel modules. Search tmo - I recall reading a thread where this was discussed.

Yes - See https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2905#c8 .

Sorry bumping thread for something a bit more specific. Had a search. Found pages in wiki which relate to using older models but nothing N900 specific (Still not sure what is compatible and what is not). Found this:

https://garage.maemo.org/projects/wizard-mounter

would that work?

Wow sounds like I might have opened a can of worms. Are there any 3rd party apps that offer simple mounting support that currently work on the N900? If not are there any projects which are nearly there but need some help?

IMHO mounting shares is crucial for a geek phone.
