| Pjotter | Hi everyone. I mounted a Synology NAS to my PC (Xubuntu 22.04). When I open thunar and select "browse network", select the NAS, the share (which has guest acces enabled) and then try to create a new file. Nothing is happening. I can see all files on the share, I can even delete them if I want. But creating new ones doesn't work. All files have owner 'root'. Creating new files from a windows machine on the same share works as expected. | 14:08 |
| Pjotter | Does anyone kwno waht could be the problem? | 14:08 |
| tomreyn | Pjotter: Try accessing the share and spcify your remote (on the sharing server) username while doing so, as in smb://pjotter@192.168.0.7/documents | 14:38 |
| tomreyn | also try cifs:// rather than smb:// | 14:40 |
| Pjotter | Hi tomreyn. I set the share to have guest access. So, specifying a username shouldn't be necessary? | 14:40 |
| tomreyn | probably not then, yes. so try the cifs:// protocol handler | 14:41 |
| Pjotter | Ok, I tried that, but thunar doesn't recognize cifs:// | 14:42 |
| Pjotter | I also tried creating a user on the NAS, giving that user acces on the share and then accessing the share with thunar with that user. But it had the same result. I can see all files, change and delete them, if I want to. But I can't create new files. | 14:44 |
| tomreyn | hmm, okay, not sure then | 14:44 |
| Pjotter | I'll try to boot my PC with plain Ubuntu and see if I can access the share with the Ubuntu file manager? | 14:46 |
| tomreyn | this is not from Xubuntu but MX Linux, which apparently uses XFCE, too. maybe thoose suggestions would help? https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=73391 | 14:46 |
| tomreyn | i'm not sure whether it's an xfce/xfwm or a generic issue you're facing. | 14:47 |
| Pjotter | There could be one thing: I also use an old NAS that has only has SMBv1. So I had to specify "min client protocol = NT1" in smb.conf, to get it to work. Maybe this setting is interfering in some way with the share? | 14:49 |
| tomreyn | thnar should be accessing the share though gvfs. there are CLI's for it as well, which can make debugging easier. | 14:56 |
| Pjotter | Ok, so. I just tested something. When I open the share with thunar, and right click open the terminal, and then do something like "mousepad testfile.txt", and save it, the file gets created! | 14:57 |
| Pjotter | The only thing is, I have to refresh thunar for the file to appear in thunar itself. But it gets created, no problem. | 14:59 |
| Pjotter | Anyways. I think I'll just mount the share through fstab and use it that way. | 15:00 |
| Pjotter | It's a weird problem. It might be a bug in thunar. I don't know. | 15:01 |
| Pjotter | I'll try Ubuntu and see how it's filemanager handles the share. | 15:01 |
| Pjotter | thanks for the help, tomreyn! | 15:02 |
| Pjotter | I'll report back in a 10 minutes or so... | 15:03 |

| Pjotter | Ok, wow. Now, I rembered why I switched from Ubuntu to Xubuntu... :S | 15:41 |
| Pjotter | tomreyn: No luck on Ubuntu either. | 15:42 |
| Pjotter | I'm doing a complete reset on the NAS. See, if there's any problem there. | 15:42 |
| Pjotter | Hi everyone. When I use thunar to explore the network and open a Synology NAS through the smb:// protocol, I can see, edit, delete all files. But when I try to create a new file from thunar, it fails. This happens only in the root dir of the share. If I create a new directory (this works fine), I can continue to create new files within that directory. But not in the root of the NAS. Does anyone know what the problem here might be? | 19:41 |

| Pjotter | Hey tom__ I discovered that the creating oif new files only fails in the rootdir of the share. If I create a new dir, and create a new file within that dir, it suddenly works. But I can't figure out what causes this behaviour in thunar. | 20:49 |
| tomreyn | Pjotter: hmm, i guess that must be a property of the synology share then | 20:50 |
| tomreyn | maybe they just don't want you to create files on the root directory of the share | 20:50 |
| Pjotter | I'm thinking maybe some samba setting, either on my machine or the Synology NAS. | 20:50 |
| Pjotter | tomreyn: Weird thing remains, that if I do this from the terminal, I am able to create new files like "touch newfile". | 20:52 |
| tomreyn | okay that would rpoove my theory wrong | 20:52 |
| tomreyn | as you see, i'm not a ig help in this area ;) | 20:52 |
| tomreyn | *big | 20:52 |
| Pjotter | Yes, I;; try googling around some more. Maybe I bump into something similar. | 20:53 |
| tomreyn | good luck! | 20:54 |
| Pjotter | thanks! | 20:54 |
| roadkill | Been trying to get an eGPU dock running over USB4 in xUbuntu 24.04... but nothing beyond the dock shows in dmesg when I plug in the cable, I never get any prompt to authorize a thunderbolt device. Are there known issues with xubuntu 24.04 and using eGPUs? | 22:58 |
| roadkill | A lot of the setup guides are outdated, relying on a egpu-switcher app that is no longer supported | 22:59 |
