Greetings
My OS: Antix 19.1 Marielle Franco
My Kernel: Linux antix1 4.9.200-antix.1-amd64-smp
My File Manager: SpaceFM
My Windows Manager: IceWM
My Theme: Ultrablack-Large
My Look and feel: Niroki (dark theme)
My Icon theme: Numix square antixi) PROBLEM
Trying to connect my antix 19.1 (CLIENT) to a shared folder “Public” on custom ubuntu 20.04 Laptop (SERVER) but you require smb 2.0 protocol
If you are trying to connect to a PC on local network and connectshares gui is no longer working, for whatever reason, nor is the ‘File > Open URL’ option within SpaceFM working to the smb2.0 PC, instead you get
“mount error(95): Operation not supported
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[ Finished ] Press Enter to close:”
then read on:ii) SOLUTION
Prerequisites
1) You need to know your sudo passwords on CLIENT and SERVER, created at time of installing your linux OS, and terminal
to enter commands2) cifs must be installed on CLIENT and SERVER
if not installed, then install it by typing command: sudo apt install cifs-utils3) samba is working on SERVER > type following command to confirm: service smbd status
if not installed, then install it by typing command: sudo apt install samba4) Public is shared on SERVER, if no then > type command: sudo pico /etc/samba/smb.conf
Add in the following under the paragraph [profiles]:
[Public]
comment = network share
browseable = yes
path = /home/live/Public
guest ok = yes
read only = noThen save and exit out of pico (text editor) by typing the following commands:
Ctrl o
Enter (press Enter key on your keyboard)
Ctrl xRestart smbd
sudo service smbd restart
(refer to screenshot antix-forum-smb2.0_1-server….)5) samba password / smbpasswd for user is setup on SERVER, where username is ‘live’ (or your own username,
open terminal and see command prompt, example live@win7-laptop:~) > type the following command: sudo smbpasswd -a live
enter the password of your choice, re-enter password, example opensaysme.6) ip address of SERVER by typing the following command on CLIENT: nbtscan 192.168.1.1-200
OR
typing following command on SERVER: ifconfig
if not installed, then install it by typing command: sudo apt install net-tools
and reading off the inet number, example 192.168.1.66, listed under enpXX..(or en…) or wlpXX..(or wlan…)Commands
A) Usage: sudo mount.cifs -o username=<user/username on SERVER>,password=<samba password on SERVER>,vers=x.0
//192.168.x.xxx/<shared samba folder on SERVER>/<mounting point used on CLIENT>B) Enter the following example on the CLIENT’s terminal:
sudo mount.cifs -o username=live,vers=2.0 //192.168.1.66/Public /mnt
OR
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=live,vers=2.0 //192.168.1.66/Public /mnt (refer to screenshots antix-forum-
smb2.0_2b…c..)C) Now open SpaceFM on CLIENT > Open a new tab (where the + sign is) > in the address box, where you normally enter the path,
example /home/live, type: /mnt (refer to screenshot antix-forum-smb2.0_3-client….)
Enter (press Enter key on your keyboard)
you should now see the contents in the shared folder ‘Public’ of SERVERD) to unmount type the command on the CLIENT’s terminal: sudo umount /mnt
Other Alternatives
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=live,password=opensaysme,vers=2.0 //192.168.1.66/Public /mnt
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=live,password=opensaysme,vers=2.0 //win7-laptop.local/Public /mnt
where win7-laptop is the name of SERVER obtained by opening terminal on SERVER and reading the prompt, example live@win7-laptop:~NOTE:
for security purposes you may want to leave out “password=opensaysme,” from the mount command and then instead separately type the samba password that is setup on SERVER, after typing in your sudo password that is setup on CLIENT!
example: sudo mount -t cifs -o username=live,vers=2.0 //192.168.1.66/Public /mntTips
While you have the CLIENT connected to SERVER, run the command on SERVER: sudo smbstatus
(this will confirm the smb protocol that CLIENT’s ip address (will display) is connecting to SERVER’s ip address (example 192.168.1.66). In this exercise the following smb protocol that is displayed is SMB2_02)
Once you unmount (on CLIENT side) the status will only show the Samba version on SERVER, the rest of the information will go blank.Hope this is helpful to some one

@berghsg
Many thanks for the exhaustive and detailed report.
I encountered the same problem some month ago and after some try I could fix it but I didn’t remember how 🙂So now I have another useful bookmark for my next installations.

Refer to screenshot showing the results of the command: smbstatus
