Did that, what now? I/t has had no immediately apparent effect ... But maybe an additional action is required?
First a few observations.
You indicated you're using your ISP DNS. This means the names of your systems aren't available via normal
DNS queries since I doubt you keep your ISP updated on names. So, the fact that doing a "ping smb" and
your mention of smb.local is indicating to me that mdns or bonjour is at work when it comes to the
GUI of Thunar. I can't replicate the problem so making it more difficult to prove what I think and find a fix.
As I said, this isn't a "permissions" issue since you're not getting any "Permission denied" indications. And, you're
able to access the share just fine from the command line.
Does "/dns myhostname" find something like bobg, I kept thinking that was what I should put there, but having been admonished to follow instructions I resisted the urge top do so.
No, that has to do with how localhost is resolved. Seehttps://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/nss-myhostname.html.
OK, now to try something completely different. Again, a bit of explanation.
When I had my mount point defined as /media/smb an file icon with the label "smb" shows in Thunar.
But, when I change mount point to /mnt that doesn't happen and I need to first go to "File System" and then to
mnt to access the share.
So, could you unmount /media/smb and then change your fstab to be /mnt and then mount /mnt
to see if things are better?
.
sudo systemctl --now disable avahi-daemon.service
sudo systemctl --now disable avahi-daemon.socket
Do I need to undo/re-enable that stuff?
I hope I understand correctly, fstab is now:
//192.168.50.149/bobg /mnt/smb cifs
uid=bobg,gid=bobg,credentials=/home/bobg/cred 0 0
after creating /mnt/smb
It looked like it was working as before using mnt instead of media but
the network browser only displayed the "SMB" with no list of files, same
problem.
then I thought I'd better try rebooting this computer,
ws1. Now after the restart/reboot the network browser displays nothing,
not even the Mac portable which I believe is still running.
I'm stuck at this point, dunno what to look for next,
