However Thunar or Nautilus can not display this when I click on smb.
By clicking on "smb", you mean double-clicking on "mnt" and then
double-clicking on "smb". Yes?
.
No, I could triple click and still nothing, however I have an USB
external drive, WD4TB, I have mounted, that requires a double click
to open and display its' contents. NFS opens simply by selecting
with one click, I think SMB should do the same as it does in the
other, ws2, Fedora-31, computer with Thunar? I am not looking at
the Network Browser, I've given up on that.
Sorry to be picky here. The next question is very important. Read
carefully.
But, I need you to confirm that when talking about smb you are *not*
talking about an smb entry
under "Devices".
°
I hope I can answer this satisfactorily ...
When I say smb that is smb in the left panel of the file manager and
smb appearing under Places, I can't drag it to devices, it pops back
down. But a new observation, In Thunar I selected File System and
navigated through mnt to smb and dragged it over to the left panel
where it happily resides next to NFS, both under Places in the right
panel, below them is the smb I was talking about that does not open
anything, the one above does open and provide the list of files.
NFS also appears a second time above those under Devices and it opens
too? Nothing I have tried so far will put smb under Devices, but it
does seem to work now at least The FC31 WS2 is the same.
Here is the "problem".
When you have the share mounted on /mnt/smb there should be *no* smb
entry in the Left-Panel.
That is because Thunar is only "scanning" /media for local mounts.
When a mount occurs under
/media Thunar will place an entry in the Left-Panel under Devices. It
will *not* do that for mounts under /mnt.
If the share under /media is unmounted Thunar should remove the entry
from the Left-Panel.
Why it is still there on you Thunar, I do not know. However, it is a
useless entry. No amount of clicking on
it will be effective.
When I do a mount of the share under /mnt I do *not* have an smb entry
on the Left-Panel.
I have shown that with images I've post online.
There should never be a need to drag and drop entries to the
Left-Panel. As a matter of fact,
I think that will cause more confusion than ever since I think the
action is actually creating a
short cut of some sort.
I really don't know how Thunar is currently showing things and I think
the GUI has been confused
by the actions taken. I don't know how Thunar keeps track of where
things may be.
I don't know how to "reset" Thunar. It *may* be helpful to post a
screenshot of your Thunar
online.
I would consider either deleting the user "bobg" on ws1 and then
recreating the user. Making sure
the uid and gid of the new user are 1000. Or I would change the name
and uid/gid of bobg
and then make a new user bobg.
To me part of the problem/confusion comes from naming the share mount
points and a system the
same as the protocol.

The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions.

My first thought is I don't like any of those options. I would rather
wait for a new release, FC-33 in September if I understand what I read.
I might be willing to "reset" Thunar but I wonder if that would be
enough, the 'dead' smb appears in Nautilus also so they use the same
file source.
/ will reserve my decision of what to do next, perhaps nothing then.
I appreciate your help, obviously it is costing you sleep this morning,
thank you,
/
