Video freezing in Mint 14 Cinnamon

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

OK, let's do this right ..
run:

Code: [Select]

gedit /home/graeme/.smbcredentials

make it read:-

username=graeme
password=CHANGE_ME

be sure to use your Mint password

SAVE the file, then run:

Code: [Select]

sudo chown root:root /home/graeme/.smbcredentials

Code: [Select]

sudo chmod 600 /home/graeme/.smbcredentials

[Emegra]

Ok done that

Code: [Select]

graeme@Linux1 ~ $ sudo chown root:root /home/graeme/.smbcredentials
[sudo] password for graeme: 
graeme@Linux1 ~ $ sudo chmod 600 /home/graeme/.smbcredentials
graeme@Linux1 ~ $ 

You do understand I don't have a clue what you're doing ?

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

OK, now open /etc/fstab for editing:

Code: [Select]

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

and add a NEW LINE at the bottom that reads:

Code: [Select]

//192.168.2.100/multimedia /mnt/freenas/multimedia cifs iocharset=utf8,credentials=/home/graeme/.smbcredentials,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

SAVE the file.

Now unmount the multimedia directory:

Code: [Select]

sudo umount /mnt/freenas/multimedia

and remount it from fstab with:

Code: [Select]

sudo mount -a

if nothing was returned, run:

Code: [Select]

nautilus /mnt/freenas/multimedia

can you see your files ?

[Emegra]

graeme@Linux1 ~ $ sudo umount /mnt/freenas/multimedia
[sudo] password for graeme:
graeme@Linux1 ~ $ sudo mount -a
mount error(22): Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs( manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
graeme@Linux1 ~ $ nautilus /mnt/freenas/multimedia


can you see your files ?

No

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

Code: [Select]

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

post the contents here .. remove that line .. save the file.

[Emegra]

Code: [Select]

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

Do you want me to remove the last line ?

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

REPLACE the last line (the one we added) with:

Code: [Select]

//192.168.2.100/multimedia /mnt/freenas/multimedia cifs credentials=/home/graeme/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 0 0

SAVE the file, and run:

Code: [Select]

sudo mount -a

any output ?

[Emegra]

graeme@Linux1 ~ $ sudo mount -a
[sudo] password for graeme:
mount: unknown filesystem type '-o'
graeme@Linux1 ~ $

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

try again .. I just edited the fstab line above

[Emegra]

graeme@Linux1 ~ $ sudo mount -a
[sudo] password for graeme:
mount: unknown filesystem type '-o'
graeme@Linux1 ~ $

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

REPLACE the last line (the one we added) with:

Code: [Select]

//192.168.2.100/multimedia /mnt/freenas/multimedia cifs credentials=/home/graeme/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 0 0

SAVE the file, and run:

Code: [Select]

sudo mount -a

any output ?

[Emegra]

graeme@Linux1 ~ $ sudo mount -a
[sudo] password for graeme:
graeme@Linux1 ~ $


I checked in nautilus and it's mounted
