Hi all,
probably i could find some advices in other topics, but i don’t know what i really need for my problem. I have connected my 3DS nintendo to the home router and i have to move files to it. The problem is that i can’t see the device on network from linux, in particular this is what i read when i click on “Rete Windows” (i think i have to click that, am i wrong?)
Based on the following (Use Google Translate if you need to)
The Nintendo 3DS is likely serving CIFS/SAMBA shares.
This means that you have to follow the instructions on the page, but set up your Workgroup name appropriately (probably not HOME).
On openSUSE, you configure this (or view) in YaST > Network Settings > DNS tab
Once your workgroup settings match (and one or both machines are rebooted as may be needed), your openSUSE File Manager (Dolphin? PCManFM?) should be able to see the 3DS file share.
Thanks Tsu for the reply.rotfl! I just don’t understand what page are you talking about… can you link the istructions page to install and configure Samba please?
Hello Tsu. I have seen the link, thanks, but i alredy know the steps i have to do with the nintendo and with a Windows PC. My real problem is how to configure samba to see the computer/devices connected to my network…
I have created a samba server (named marcosuse), but when i try to enter in by nautilus, a message appear and nothing happen, even after many minutes… The message is: "opening marcosuse.local (smb)…
You have to provide details, more detail means others will have better understanding of your situation.
First,
It’s my understanding that the 3DS normally provides the file sharing.
If that’s true, then these last couple posts are a new, completely separate effort.
So, first the basics…
Post the following…
Your Workgroup name which should be the same for every machine in your LAN, the 3DS, the openSUSE you tried to connect to the 3DS, and the new samba server you’re setting up.
The smb.conf of the new samba server you’re setting up.
I don’t know if there are any file sharing settings on the 3DS, but if there are any those might be helpful.
The <exact> commands you are using when connecting to or mounting a file share <and the results>, in CODE tags. Be sure to identify the machine you’re running those commands on (the server should be identified in your command).
And, always make sure there is a file in the file share.
Connecting to an empty Share can be unpredictable, and easy to interpret the results incorrectly.
# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.

And the commands i give to start and stop samba server are:
First,
Why are you setting up a SAMBA server? It might be helpful, but is it in any way directly related to your 3DS?
AFAIK the 3DS should be a CIFS Server, not client so setting up another server is… well, I don’t know why you’re doing that.
Although those commands might work to start/stop your samba server on an older system, if you’re running those on an openSUSE, they may or may not work… We use systemd commands (typically systemctl). I assume you’re not running those commands on your 3DS, but you should clarify.
On your openSUSE client (not server),
Have you verified your workgroup/domain name is set correctly in YaST > Network Settings?
Sorry for all tsu, but it’s too late. I liked Opensuse, but i removed it to replace it with Ubuntu 17.10, that is more useful for many aspects (in this case, the net is alredy configured and you can see all devices you want like windows).
