From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Cannot connect to my NAS after installing KUbuntu 24.04 LTS

I was first on KUbuntu 22.04 LTS and was able to connect to my router's attached USB storage drive by adding client min protocol = NT1 to the smb.conf file within user/share/samba. My router doesn't support the newer SMB protocol.

I just recently wiped my computer and installed KUbuntu 24.04 LTS and I tried adding that same line of code to the smb.conf file, but when I try to go to the IP address of my router it tells me that "Connection to host 192.168.1.1 is broken".

I've been trying to find a solution online, but not having luck.

Anyone have any suggestions?

According to this Samba 4.16 removed the support for the old SMB1 Protocol.

Looking here : https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=samba you can see the difference between Jammy and Noble : 4.15 -> 4.19 So it looks like you're out of luck with fast and easy solutions. Maybe downloading the older Samba package and its dependencies and downgrade and then put the package on "hold" is maybe possible. During such an attempt using aptitude instead of apt could be helpful.

Or do something funky like using a privileged Docker container built from 22.04 (or anything else with old enough samba) to mount the samba share onto a volume that sits on the host OS. 😂

Something like:

Create a mount point, say /media/myshare
docker run --privileged -it --rm -v /media/myshare:/mnt ubuntu:22.04 bash
mount -t cifs //<host>/<path> /mnt -o user=<user>,password=<user>
Check the contents of /media/myshare on the host.

If it works, you could bake this into a startup script for the Docker image. Run it with the appropriate --cap-add instead of --privileged. Start it on boot via systemd.

Lol, I will need to become more familiar with how to use docker. I know how to use virtual box so I may try to run vm with 22.04. I'm still pretty new and starting my Linux Journey. 🙂
