I am running SuSE Enterprise server on my server and have set up NFS, so that I can reach "shares" on this server from my workstation. On my workstation, I have SUSE 9.3 and when I try to browse the server I get "lisa daemon not running" This is fine, I go into services and turn it on or enable it, but all I get is a small dialog box that says "lisa start" but it just sits there and does nothing. I have waited 15 mins or so, and nothing. I am assuming I need lisa in order to reach my server, so any help connecting me to my server would be greatly appreciated.
All systems are behind a router and of course on the same LAN. Thanks in advance..
Lisa is a network browser service specific to the KDE desktop environment. I don't know whether it can identify NFS shares on a server.
You could try Google for more information on this, but NFS is probably best used with static mounts. If you want to ocasionally connect with your server then SSH (fish:// URIs in KDE) is perhaps a better choice.
How do I do this? your way? I have always used NFS to connect to the server. I export a directory, then on the Linux workstation it always found the shares, but not now for some reason.
It's been a long time since I used KDE, but I remember that you could just put something like fish://me@myserver.com:/home/me as a URI in the file manager or the path of a link icon. The browser never worked consistently for me with SMB shares.
For Linux > Linux file transfer I tend to use SSH and HTTP, since they are "safe" and installed on pretty much every server.
