Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] pcmanfm not seeing nas?

Update:  This works great!!!  Makes me very happy.

Network File Browsing with PCManFM

There has been reports of PCManFM having problems displaying networked
drives and folders correctly. This is not actually a bug but a feature where
it allows the user to decide if this package is required for them. If you
would like to use PCManFM to browse networked drives and folders this is
easily accomplished by simply installing the package gvfs-backends:

sudo apt-get install gvfs-backends

Tim,

There is a bug for network file viewing with Lubuntu Maverick Meerkat
which I think is what you're coming up against. If you check out
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ReleaseNotes/MaverickMeerkat/#Network%20File%20Browsing%20with%20PCManFM
there is a fix listed there that would be the first thing I'd try.

Hope that helps.

[Lubuntu-desktop] pcmanfm not seeing nas?

[Tim Bernhard]

Hi everyone,

I guess I haven't used my nas in a while because I just realized that
pcmanfm doesn't see my network drives like nautilus did in Ubuntu.  Is this
a problem with pcmanfm or do I need to set something up?  Looks like I might
need to use samba?  I don't really feel like setting though.

My goal for my Lubuntu install is to maximize battery life on my laptop
while having a system that does the "basics" without having to do a ton of
configuration.  I'm not the "tweak and geek" type.  I just want my OS to
work they way I need it to.  My machine has plenty of resources.  Is there a
compelling reason for me NOT to use nautilus?  I just seems to do a little
more than pcmanfm.  Please advise.


Thanks in advance,

Tim
