Hello,

I switched to the KDE desktop (using Ubuntu, coming from Gnome/XFCE) which is nice. I do use a lot of CLI though.
For now I run into a problem that I can't seem to access my 2 samba shares (NAS drives) through the CLI. I used to rely on XFCE's ~/.gvfs but that's not working in KDE.

Next problem: when I want to mount the shares to mountpoints, I can't get there as 'su' constantly gives me an authentication failure even though my account is administrator. Ubuntu doesn't have a separate root account.

Any clues anyone?

Thank you!

Edit: the fix I found didn't do it... Any ideas are welcome. In the meantime I'm back to Cinnamon as I need my CL access to the NAS partitions.

With regards to attaining root access under Ubuntu derivatives, you should run "sudo su -" to gain root access. You will be prompted for your password.

KDE uses the KIO system, which does not support FUSE mounting i'm afraid, so you will need to mount shares by hand if you need to access them from non-KDE applications.

Thank you!
