Bug Description
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_
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.
