No user authentication for SMB shares with Dolphin

Hello, I am new to Cachyos.

So far I have no problems and everything is going great.

Unfortunately I can’t connect to SMB shares with user authentication using Dolphin. Dolphin only establishes a guest connection, with which I cannot change any data on my server. My server (unraid) is configured for SMB2/SMB3 and NFS.

Dolphin does not seem to support NFS. “Invalid protocol nfs”

How can I establish a connection with user authentication via Dolphin?

A connection via “smb://USERNAME:PASSWORD@SERVER” also fails.
“Dolphin does not support web pages; the web browser has been started.”

This works flawlessly via the terminal mount or fstab. Why not via Dolphin?
Does anyone have a tip for me? I am using KDE.

Thank you

I solved it myself.

Hello, I am new to Cachyos too. The only thing stopping me from using it as my daily driver for my gaming rig is I couldn’t figure out how to get the network share working with my NAS. Would you please share how you got it working? Much appreciated!

KDE and Dolphin uses their own little way of handling mounts with kio-fuse, and it has always been a mess.

I recommend users that want to use network shares to set them up manually, either as a systemd.mount/automount or in fstab.
On linux, if you have NFS available, use THAT instead of samba.

Go to the KDE forum and look for questions like yours, you will find a TON of them. Sometimes “it just works” and sometimes it doesn’t.
You could ask for help on their forum.

As for how to set up network mounts manually instead, you will get +100 hits for tutorials in any search engine.
But mounting them outside of Dolphin will solve your issue, and it will never fail. I have done it for years.
