[Solved] Cannot access synology drives by dolphin

MSco · 2022-07-08 12:03:54

On my computer I use KDE Plasma. Unfortunately, I cannot access the Synology drives here. Under Windows, access to the drives works without any problems.

Also, under Linux I can mount the drives with sshfs without any problems:
e.g. with
Code:
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.178.99:/volume1/Filme.

If I now want to access it with Dolphin, the whole thing looks like this:
Under “Network Devices → Shared Order (SMB)”, “nashome” is still listed correctly. “nashome” is the name of my Synology in the network.

But if I then navigate to “nashome”, the error “The file or folder smb://nashome.local/ does not exist” is displayed.

On my old Linux machine (with Xfce and not KDE as the interface) access via the file browser also worked without problems.

Here also smb://nashome.local/ is given as address. I have a feeling that username and password might be the problem here. Because that’s what I had to enter on my old computer when I first accessed it. As far as I can remember, I didn’t (couldn’t) do that on the new computer. But I don’t know where I could enter the username and password here.

I tried to disable VFS module as described in your url, but that did not solve my problem.

Sicne dolphin seems to try to resolve an avahi domain but you're mounting an IP, can you actually

ping nashome.local

?

Yes, the ping works fine:

ping nashome.local

However, I found this thread:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/dolphin-the … ist/114900

I entered some random username and pw to the network settings for windows shares. After that, I opened dolphin and navigated to the synology drive and I could finally enter the credentials. After that, the access to my synology drives via dolphin worked finally, but only for a short time!

However, after restarting dolphin again, the access doesnt work anymore (I am not asked for username and password anymore). It doesnt even work, if I again change the credentials in the network settings. It only worked for a short time…

I definitely think, the problem is the missing prompt for username and password. It never pops up in dolphin for me…

I have finally found a workaround, that works permanently for me. When entering my username before the nashome.local in the location window, I can access that share via dolphin:

smb://username@nashome.local/
