[SOLVED] Transport endpoint not connected.

[dale456654]

Hi,
After installing xubuntu on my old 64mb laptop it was too slow, it took 20 seconds to open a terminal! I then installed Ubuntu mini with the 9mb cd. When that was done I installed everything from there, I chose IceWM with dillo. Everything was working nicely. I got sound remote desktop, but there is just one thing that I cannot get working, that is samba networks. I tried everything i could find to get it working including pyneighborhood but I get the message could not mount. I was going to install nautilus but it was 350mb! I followed a guide... Linux - From The Terminal: Adding Samba support to Thunar . After following this i can browse the share but i cannot do anything to it. I get the message Transport endpoint not connected. Can anyone please help me with this?

Thanks!

I use gigolo for managing remote connections. Should be in the ubuntu repos.

Found this, might help with the samba issue.

Hey thanks for your post!

Gigolo didn't seem to find any networks but what I found is that you can mount the share to somewhere locally and then even vlc can stream video files. First I made a directory by doing "sudo dolphin" and made /media/smb. Then i did "sudo mount -t smbfs //ubuntu-server/wshare /media/smb" so basically sudo mount -t smbfs <server-name> <mount>".

Again thanks for your post!
