Doesn't the sudo command make it run as root? but i'm also running it as the user I first set-up as I thought Ubuntu doesn't have root you use sudo?
Yes, but only the immediate process. Try running as root instead. Sudo is how you get to root.
sudo -i suOK that worked
maybe worth mentioning it in first post He did, second sentence:
Yeah but I thought that's what the sudo at the beginning of the command did run it as root.

Sort of. Knowing that sudo only elevates some things to root is just part of the pain of using Ubuntu.
-
It's tough because people often use the phrase "run as root" loosely. But there is a reason that it says that rather than putting sudo into the command example.

@scottalanmiller good to know thou

Has anyone updated to 5.1 yet?
I tried today, and it kept me on 5.0.
Is it under next-release or stable? Or something entirely different?
FORGET IT I FIGURED IT OUT.
I must have been on next-release or something.
I ran it again with no issues.
-
I updated.

A reboot fixed my issue, finally.
Here I thought that was just a Windows thing.

hi, i have trouble gettings cifs to work. Smbclient etc is installed i have tried 3 diffrent installs 15.10 as 16.04 everything else is working fine the error i get is
"Create Remote connection has been closed"
The smb server is a AD member freenas.
Also the login looks like this as of 5.x
-
The login screen is a known issue
As for connecting to your remote store, you mean SMB, correct?
You may need to manually connect to the share from the XO console.

@Fetakungen welcome to the community!

Thanks
@DustinB3403
I see i havent looked into it but i guess it's simply looking for the logo in the wrong place / the logo is missing.Well mounting it directly in the OS is no problem but i want to have a OVF that fit for fight after install and of course if want to be able to use the intergrated smb mount just because it should work.
Also this removes the need of linux knowledge. -
I personally use NFS shares for XO, just very simple to setup and manage.
Do you need to use SMB for this, or could you convert the share to an NFS and connect that way? It should work to connect using either method, but we'd need to see what is occurring when you attempt to connect.

My log knowledge regarding XO is a bit rusty what logs should i check ?
I Could use NFS , Right now this is more about that i should work than i need it =).
-
@Fetakungen When you're in the web console, at the screen where you are attempting to connect to the SMB share, what happens? You can take a screenshot for us.
-
The nas says nothing about access denied etc.
In 4.x the error message was diffrent but well result the same.
-
@Fetakungen Can you access the share from any other systems using the same credentials?

Yes , im using the nas with many servers and as an end user myself. I have tried various creds. From user to Admin.
-
Try this from the console
sudo mkdir ~/mnt sudo mount -t cifs //myserver_ip_address/myshare ~/mnt -o username=samb_user,noexecFilling in your details.
-
It works as expected.
I realized i hadn't installed cifs-utils when i tried to mount.It's installed now, unfortunetly the error remains.. -
@Fetakungen So if you have cifs-utils installed now, remove the mount from within XO, and from the console and try to remount it.
