    jajuk, how the heck to find network path?

    Ok, I got a NAS device, it's a Dlink I know it's address on the system seems to be smb://dlinkstorage/Volume_1/My Music it also shows as smb://192.168.0.100/volume_1/my music... but Jajuk (or any other program I try to get to see this drive except dolphin) can't find it. What am I doing wrong, what type of address is it looking for?

    Could it be because "Volume_1/My Music" and "volume_1/my music" are not the same name?

      I don't know, I've tired both, and many others as well, I just can't figure out what type of path programs other then Dolphin want.... Dolphin has no issues what so ever, just straight up or with samba shares.... both see the drive fine, I just can't get any other programs to cooperate.

        My first guess at a quick glance is you're having windows vs. linux naming issues. In otherwords - windows doesn't care about caps, linux does, and spaces are handled differently.

        Try enclosing the address in quotes and doing a manual mount.
        In a terminal type:

        mkdir ~/music
        sudo mount smb://192.168.0.100/volume_1/'my music' ~/music


        Assuming this works, you might consider an fstab entry to mount it somewhere rather than trying to access it directly via smaba.

          You could also put it in your hosts file. Then you could call it anything you like.

            Here's what I get when I tried that.....


            doonze@doonze-laptop:~$ sudo mount smb://192.168.0.100/volume_1/'my music' ~/dlink
            mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on smb://192.168.0.100/volume_1/my music,
            missing codepage or helper program, or other error
            (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
            need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
            In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
            dmesg | tail or so


            I'm pretty sure it all comes down to finding the way it wants it formated, I just for the life of me can't figure it out, and Jajuk's "manual", FAQ, and even forums are less then helpful on this. I figured out I can access it from Amarok, so I may just dump the whole Jajuk thing and just use Amarok. Now if I could just get my UPnP AV service to show all my files.....

              try
              mount -t cifs //192.168.0.100/'my music' ~/dlink
              or
              mount -t cifs -o username=sambauser,password=sambapassword //192.168.0.100/'my music' ~/dlink substitute your username and password.
