![]() The problem is that because of the changes Ubuntu has made, fstab sometimes executes before the network is up. The traditional way of automounting a remote share is to add a line in fstab that will execute on boot. As it turns out, gigolo can actually work around a couple of them.īUG 1: fstab is executed before the network is up. Ubuntu has changed the way services are started and when things are mounted and as a result it has introduced a number of bugs.

The versatility of this utility comes in when you enable the "Auto-Connect" option. There you can give it a short bookmark name as well as other authentication information you want to pass to the server on boot. In the right side panel of gigolo right click the remote share and select "Create Bookmark" Second: Once you access the remote share using the method described above in STEP 3, you can set this up to mount the remote share automatically: Menu > System Settings > Startup Applications > + (Add) > Choose Application > gigolo STEP 4: Auto Mounting Remote Shares on Boot To bypass the gnome bug make sure to specify the Server and Share.
