Hi to all,
i installed samba and samba client in the multimedia template. However, I cannot access any shares inside the multimedia qube on my network. Did i install samba & smbaclient into the right template ?
Regards, Hitam
Hi
While you have to install the programs in the template, you should not use the template to connect to your shares. The template does not have networking (and should not), this is why it is not working.
Create an AppVM using this template, then connect to your shares from it.
Hi, I try to access the shares within the Multimedia Appvm, which is based on the multimedia template.
The network shares discovery will not work within qubes because it uses a local area network (LAN) discovery protocol, but the qube LAN is its connection to its NetVM (sys-firewall usually).
You should be able to connect by using the IP of your network share, the actions to type it depends on the file browser. In Nautilus file browser (non xfce template), you should have a “connect to remote server” somewhere, type smb://IP_OF_TH_SERVER, it should works quite the same way in Thunar (xfce)
You can check samba connection from the app qube’s terminal:
smbclient -L x.x.x.x
Where x.x.x.x is your network share IP address.
