Fuck linux it's a bullshit os for wieners! Fix this shit already! WOW Dude! This post is so ancient! Anyhow I fixed this problem many years ago. My issue is the passwords on Ubuntu and Windows 7 did not match. Once I corrected that issue, everything worked fine. Sorry you are so pissed off with Linux but I still use it and connect fine to Windows 10. If you have a router and Ethernet cables, you shouldn't have had to spend all that money on hardware.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 510059] Re: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share
After some browsing it turns out this is not really a bug, but shall we say a "security feature". There is this pklocalauthority stuff (see man page) that basically makes authorization things more complex, and to me, not logical. See ralph.ronnquist comment at Debian user forums page http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5=128280 Therefore, it turns out the nautilus/gvfs-mount needs your password, but not for remote system. It wants your password for LOCAL system... that worked for me, no matter how strange it is. I mean, the nautilus clearly states it needs a username/password for remote system? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510059 Title: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share Status in gvfs: Unknown Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus My Ubuntu Desktop (9.10, 64-bit) VM can't connect to my Windows 7 (64-bit, Ultimate) File Share using Nautilus.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 510059] Re: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share
Same here... I have started with 14.04LTS and I could reach a Win2008 machine. After several updates, somewhere in the first quarter of 2016, I believe something things got strange. I purged samba and reinstalled it - no change. I have several personal shared folders, made from nautilus, and all Win machines can reach them (as guest user). However, I can not reach a Win2008 server or other Win7 - shared folder. Both gvfs-mount and nautilus dialogue keep asking for password/domain again and again. Setting aforementioned combinations such as: client lanman auth = no client ntlmv2 auth = no client ntlm = yes .. does not help. So I have browsed the old /etc/samba/ and have found several older smb.conf files: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9542 Mar 1 2015 smb.conf.old.gadmin-samba-0.3.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9542 Jun 11 2015 smb.conf.ucf-dist Basically, these two old were from time when everything was ok, and guess what, after I have copied them in smb.conf, nautilus and gvfs-mount still were not working (and keep asking for password/domain). There you have it. It is not a thing in smb.conf, but (my best guess) the bug is probably in gvfs-mont. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510059 Title: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share Status in gvfs: Unknown Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus My Ubuntu Desktop (9.10, 64-bit) VM can't connect to my Windows 7 (64-bit, Ultimate) File Share using Nautilus.

some note of my side. Problem started when i tried to connect to a Samba4 machine (ubuntu 14.04.1) from a 12.04. I had the password loop on the 14.04. to try and reach the 12.04 (samba 3.6.3-2). So I thought, I update the 12.04 with samba4. Now I have the password loop on that machine aswell. Keeps on asking for a password. Uninstalled and purged samba. Reinstalled samba 3.6.3-2 , all to no avail. Now I dont have samba installed, and trying to reach a network share from Connect to Server it still doesnot accept my password. Looking at the samba.cfg file on the nas, running Alt-F (http://sourceforge.net/projects/alt-f) i only find a file where the shares are defined.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 510059] Re: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share
Hi guys, for me only this line helped: client ntlmv2 auth = no The SMB server I am accessing is an old NAS which don't support NTLMv2. We had the same issues on all Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 machines when trying to access the NAS, because the next gen windows systems have NTLMv1 disabled by default. So the problem seems to be that gvfs in Ubuntu 12.04 does not try other authentication mechanisms if NTLMv2 is enabled!? For now this workaround to disable NTLMv2 is no problem, because of the lack of any important NTLMv2 share.

The solution in comment #29 worked for me in 12.04. However, one of my accounts still had problems (while other accounts on the same machine worked OK). It turned out that there was a local smb.conf file in the .smb directory of the account's home directory. I simply removed the entire .smb directory and then the global settings in /etc/samba/smb.conf had effect. I guess you can enter the settings in comment #29 to the local file as well, but I have not tried that... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510059 Title: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share Status in GVFS: New Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus My Ubuntu Desktop (9.10, 64-bit) VM can't connect to my Windows 7 (64-bit, Ultimate) File Share using Nautilus.

I have this exact problem on a freshly installed Precise. This is what I had to do, to fix the problem: in /etc/samba/smb.conf add the following to the bottom of the [global] section: client lanman auth = yes client ntlmv2 auth = no I could gvfs-mount a Windows 2008 share, but not an Alfresco CIFS share. With the above changes to smb.conf, I can access all shares withoput problems. I didn't have this problem on a freshly installed Oneiric machine, so I'm not sure what's changed og wether thes should be fixed in gvfs or in the default samba installation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510059 Title: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share Status in GVFS: New Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus My Ubuntu Desktop (9.10, 64-bit) VM can't connect to my Windows 7 (64-bit, Ultimate) File Share using Nautilus.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 510059] Re: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share
I just installed the desktop version of Ubuntu 11.10 on my 2nd computer. Right after the install I tried to access the samba shares (my main purpouse for installing ubuntu). I have two computers who share and both of them was listed as computers in Nautilus. Nautilus did not however list my router with USB that also shares through samba. One of the machines runs Openelec (linux dist) and I could access that by doubleclicking it and I saw it's shared folders. I could also navigate into windows shares but I could not access my workgroup there. So I upgraded all of the packets after installation (245) and now after reboot it asks me for password every time I try to access the workgroup. It works fine if I actually write the path to the machine and the folder, no problems no password. But if I want to list it then I have the same problem as everyone else. Also now the only machine I could access the shares from asks for SSH-login instead in nautilus...
