 Posted: Sat Jul 13, 2024 4:57 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Issues connecting to a local NAS |
 |
|
Hi all,
I'm very new to Gentoo - over the past week or so, whenever I find myself with a bit of free time, I've been slowly making my way through the issues caused by a brand new setup, using openrc instead of systemd (which I am more familiar with), and so on. On the whole, it's been going well, but I have one problem I haven't been able to make any headway on.
I have a NAS on my local network, and I'm trying to connect to it with my Gentoo machine. Normally I do so through KDE's dolphin file explorer - I can simply go:
| Code: | | smb://[IP-Address]/NAS/ |
and then I'm in. I get asked for NAS credentials if it's my first time connecting, but otherwise it's entirely over to kwallet. At the moment, this works on my Arch Linux machine.
On my new Gentoo machine, however, I get the following (with real IP addresses, of course), and I'm not sure how to deal with it:
| Code: | lp_load_ex: refreshing parameters
added interface wlp7s0 ip=xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx bcast= netmask=ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::
added interface wlp7s0 ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx bcast=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask=255.255.255.0
kf.kio.core: Can't communicate with kiod_kpasswdserver (for checkAuthInfo)!
lp_load_ex: refreshing parameters
added interface wlp7s0 ip=xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx bcast= netmask=ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::
added interface wlp7s0 ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx bcast=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask=255.255.255.0
kf.kio.core: Can't communicate with kiod_kpasswdserver (for checkAuthInfo)!
kf.kio.core: "Timeout on server\nxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" |
So - kio can't communicate with kiod_kpasswdserver. On an interesting and perhaps related note, I also get this when opening kwalletmanager5:
| Code: | | Couldn't start kwalletd: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildSignaled", "Process org.kde.kwalletd5 received signal 6") |
Attempting to create a manual kwallet generates more of the same - so perhaps there's multiple issues going on here...
Some information about my setup:
- I'm on the openrc desktop profile, on amd64, and keep to stable packages as much as possible;
- I'm running gentoo-dist-bin at this stage - haven't gotten around to switching to something else yet;
- I use hyprland, and start it with dbus-run-session. I also have the dbus service started, so dbus I hope should be good and running;
- I don't run plasma, but I do use a lot of KDE utilities. Given this, I do start polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 through hyprland's startup execution process. I also took to starting kiod5 here too, and that made some additional errors disappear (the above log is when kiod5 is started);
- I also run
| Code: | | dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP |
through this startup process - with the understanding that openrc will just ignore the systemd input. Both WAYLAND_DISPLAY and XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP are set (to wayland-1 and Hyprland respectively);
Neither dmesg nor /var/log/messages seem to have any messages about this issue - all I have is the above log, which comes from dolphin itself.
Perhaps most importantly, I have the following packages set up with the following use flags.
- I have the samba global USE flag set in make.conf;
- kde-apps/dolphin --> handbook
- kde-apps/kwalletmanager --> handbook
- kde-frameworks/kwallet --> gpg man
- kde-plasma/kwallet-pam --> N/A no flags selected
- sys-auth/pambase --> elogind nullok passwdqc sha512
- sys-libs/pam --> filecaps
- kde-misc/kio-fuse --> N/A no flags selected
- sys-fs/fuse --> suid
- sys-fs/fuse-common --> N/A no flags on package
- kde-apps/kio-extras --> X handbook man samba sftp
- kde-frameworks/kio --> X acl handbook kwallet
- kde-misc/kio-fuse --> N/A no flags selected
- kde-plasma/ksshaskpass --> N/A no flags selected
- net-fs/samba --> acl client cups pam regedit syslog system-mitkrb5 winbind
Some of these packages may not have been necessary to mention - I have to admit, I'm definitely not 100% on how all these different components work together  Samba also likely has much too many USE flags on it - you can see I've been tinkering to see what kind of effect it would have.
Unfortunately my Internet searching hasn't managed to dig up anything that could solve this - has anyone here got any ideas about what could fix this?

Hello,
My ISP routeur allows me to do Samba to access the file on the external hard disk connected to it. Allowing my LAN to use these file on any hardware supporting samba.
This is how it get connected at each boot in my /etc/fstab file :
| Code: | | //192.168.X.XXX/Volume\0403000Go\0401 /mnt/freebox cifs _netdev,rw,iocharset=utf8,uid=meself,credentials=/home/xxx/.credentials,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0775 0 2 |
You could maybe add it to your /etc/fstab and try :
After, of course, modifying this line with your relevant informations : IP, name, mounting point (it has to exist before of course), the file with your credential, looking like this:
| Code: | username=yourusername
password=yourpassword |
Also, I had to add the following USE flag to enable Samba on my Gentoo : Samba
If it's still not working, please provide us the output of the following command :
Regards,
GASPARD DE RENEFORT Kévin

Thanks for getting back to me!
Unfortunately, I've had no further luck. After setting up the fstab entry and running
At first I got this particular error:
| Code: | | This program is not installed setuid root - "user" CIFS mounts not supported. |
I got this even when I didn't provide a UID on the fstab entry - the manpage assured me that the default of 0 (root) would be used but this didn't seem to make a difference. I got around that by running | Code: | | sudo chmod u+s $(which mount.cifs) |
I understand this may not exactly be recommended, but I'm at the point where I'm willing to try just about anything to get it working, and I can fix up any security holes or what have you later when I understand the cause of the problem a bit better.
Now the output of the mount command looks very familiar:
| Code: | mount error(115): Operation now in progress
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg) |
I got that error a lot during my earlier troubleshooting. The manpage was interesting (and very long), but didn't seem to have much on this sort of thing. The kernel log, on the other hand, looks like this:
| Code: |
[ 707.521583] Key type dns_resolver registered
[ 707.606713] Key type cifs.spnego registered
[ 707.606749] Key type cifs.idmap registered
[ 707.607213] CIFS: No dialect specified on mount. Default has changed to a more secure dialect, SMB2.1 or later (e.g. SMB3.1.1), from CIFS (SMB1). To use the less secure SMB1 dialect to access old servers which do not support SMB3.1.1 (or even SMB3 or SMB2.1) specify vers=1.0 on mount.
[ 1479.342843] CIFS: enabling forceuid mount option implicitly because uid= option is specified
[ 1479.342850] CIFS: Attempting to mount //<ip-address-here>/NAS

[ 1489.660979] CIFS: VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -115 |
Note that when I didn't pass in a UID on the fstab entry, the 'enabling forceuid mount' line did not appear.
Unfortunately that just leaves us with Which looks like this:

What SMB dialects does this server offer? Which dialect does KDE use when using the KDE smb transport? | Hysteria wrote: | | Code: | | This program is not installed setuid root - "user" CIFS mounts not supported. |

I think you misunderstood the error message. Generally, on Linux, if you want to mount something, either you do it as root, or you run a setuid program (which becomes root on your behalf). To that end, mount.cifs has a courtesy check that notices you did neither of those things, and exits with an error message. As I read the source of mount.cifs, this check happens very early, before it has even checked what you want it to do. Presumably, if this check were absent, you would get a more confusing error later when the kernel rejects a privileged syscall from your unprivileged mount.cifs. | Hysteria wrote: | I got around that by running | Code: | | sudo chmod u+s $(which mount.cifs) |
I understand this may not exactly be recommended, but I'm at the point where I'm willing to try just about anything to get it working, and I can fix up any security holes or what have you later when I understand the cause of the problem a bit better. |
I hope you are taking notes so that you can find later what you need to undo. In the meantime, you could have instead run mount as root so that you did not need to set the setuid flag on the helper. | Hysteria wrote: | The kernel log, on the other hand, looks like this: | Code: | | [ 707.607213] CIFS: No dialect specified on mount.

Right. The message is triggered by using uid= without using forceuid. This was touched in cifs: reinstate original behavior again for forceuid/forcegid. I read the manual page as stating that uid= without forceuid is legal, sets a uid when the server fails to describe one, and is otherwise ignored. That does not appear to me to be how the kernel currently works.
Please show the fstab variants you tried. |

Apologies for the delay on getting back to this - it's been an interesting month, shall we say.
In any case - I'm happy to say that this issue is now fixed. It was the NAS firewall itself, of all things. I'm still not 100% clear on why it let my Arch machines connect and not my Gentoo machines (even when they're the same machine), but I suspect it has something to do with the order of precedence of the firewall rules. I added a new rule specifically for the machine I was on, which changed the error message I was getting to:
| Code: | | Communication with the local password server failed |
Which is a much more understandable error message. I manually started kiod6 (as I'm not actually running Plasma, just using a few of their programs) and got the username/password prompt I expected. Once I filled that in, I was in.
Done! |
