Error from org.gtk.vfs.Mountable.mount(): Failed to retrieve

[d3viant]

On Stretch; did updates last night, not sure if this is attributable - but this is the first I've come across these issues.

Is anyone else on Stretch who recently updated, also experiencing this?

Hi d3viant,

My stretch box is up to date and I don't see those warnings so I don't think it has to do with stretch itself but with samba and permissions. You'll have to check /var/cache/samba permissions and see why

The specified location is not mounted

as the log warns you.

[d3viant]

/var/cache/sabma didn't exist, I manually created it and the permission denied errors stopped, but the connection refused/mounting errors persist.

The mount isn't occurring because the connection is being refused, correct? I'm at a loss on what's causing the connection to refuse. Any way to troubleshoot this further?

[marcetm]

Most likely, your using the wrong credentials. Try to remove your samba mount points and recreate them again.

Or change the ownership. That directory isn't necessarily owned by root, perhaps.
