[Bug 730984] [NEW] Kubuntu - Mount SAMBA shares when Dolphin access them via CIFS

[André Madureira]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop

Hello,

Problem:

When I access a SAMBA share via Dolphin, it don't mount it with CIFS
file system automatically... This causes some programs not to open the
remote files properly (and I can't understand why does this happen,
because Windows programs can open remote files normally without the need
of mapping the remote paths)...

Solution 1:

Make Linux programs access remote files without the need of CIFS
mounting...

Solution 2:

Make KDE file managers automatically mount (via CIFS) remote paths when
they're been accessed... Like Nautilus does with GNOME desktop (this
happens inside the .gvfs path) ...

WORKAROUND:

Mount manually the remote paths that you wish Linux Programs to access files...
For that I used the command:

sudo mount.cifs //ip_to_samba_PC/root_folder
/media/dir_where_to_mount_it_locally -o
username=user,password=pass,iocharset=utf8

PS: In the username and password you can't have a special character like
´ or ^ or ~ because it shows the error message above that says that
you're not logging in with the right username or password:

Permission Denied

Thanks for your help,

André M.
