[Q] CIFS Manager says it's not installed

CIFS Manager says it's not installed if I try and run it from the apps screen with VEGAn-Tab Beta 5. However, if I run it from Market it runs. Any ideas?
Also, how do I get it to connect to anything? I did a search for CIFS.KO with root explorer (once with CIFS and another with CIFS.KO) as the search term. The only thing that shows up is CifsManager and it's correndponding dirs. I thought CIFS was part of VEGA-N.
BTW - newbie here so I'm trying to remember my Liniux stuff from years ago.

You need to run it from a different launcher. Something like Launcherpro. It does not like the stock launcher...
You set up the shares from the cifs manager app. ipaddress/sharename....

I tried but I know I not doing it right. If you say we set up everything in CIFS Manager, does that mean we don't need to do anything at all with my computer?

Only thing you need on your PC is the folder you want to use be shared and accessible on your network.

Super Newb alert.
Thank you for your response. I think it's the way I'm inputting the details in CIF Manager. I think I got far as my IP address but I'm not sure if I'm putting the right share path. The mount point should point to the folder I created on my internal sd card, right?
Also, Username and password - Do I need to fill that out?

You need a user name and password if that is how the shared folder on your PC is setup. Pretty much if you need a password to get into your computer, you need it for the shares.
Set up the mount point something like this but use your computers IP and folder name.... 192.168.0.109/share
The other part depends on what rom you are using. Stock TnT, vegaN, which one? Not all of them have CIFS built into them. TnT, and TnTLite require a kernel patch that is located in the forum. vegaN should already have it.

I just noticed what you wrote.. The shared folder is on your PC, not on your tablet.. If you leave everything at default in cifs manager it will create a cifs folder under /mnt/cifs in a file manager. The shared folder on your pc will show up inside this folder.
Once you have the share setup on cifs manager you need to tap on the name and see if you get a little green indicator. That is mounting the share. You won't see your folders until you do.

[Q] Cisco AnyConnect for Rooted Devices

Has anyone got the Cisco Any Connect for Rooted Devices App to work on the TF??? I keep getting the "This device does not meet minimum requirements to run this software (TunTap driver could not be located)" error. Anyone find a workaround?

I'd root my TF in a sec if it will work. I've been trying to get this to work on my D2G but it also doesn't have a TunTap driver. I found tun.ko in one of the forums but have to had the chance to see how one might install it. I know some custom ROMs have it included.

works fine rooted prime + clemsyn 16

It seems that it is not able to load the tun.ko if it is present as a module. I had to use insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko to make it work. I have a stock kernel with just added tun.ko module.

Woah, didn't know this came out...thanks. Will give it a shot.
Edit: Appears to work fine, but I need get get my ASA license.

Awesome! Finally!

The app installs fine but when you try to connect is when you get that error. @ljs_cz, does the stock 3.1 come with the tun.ko module? If not where can I find one? I found a post with a module but its for 3.0.

Totally wasn't aware this existed. Works flawlessly on my TF running prime and clemsyn. This combined with RemoteRDP means I don't need to carry round my laptop when I'm on call!
Thank you OP, life-changer.

For those who are on stock 3.1 root, copy tun.ko to /system/lib/modules and
install it from a terminal, command "insmod tun.ko".
Check with command lsmod, you should see tun.ko loaded.
Install cisco anyconnect for rooted device and you are set.
Note, you will need to load tun.ko again after a reboot.

Thanks ill give that a try!!!

Ok its works great but when i restart the device the module isn't installed anymore and i have to insmod again. Any way to keep is installed after device boots???

i tried copying the tun.ko to /system/lib/modules but i got Permission Denied.
Is there another way to make this work?
I am rooted with build model 8.4.4.11

You need to mount the /system as RW before you can copy it. I am not sure of the ADB command, but you can do it through total commander (file manager) which is how I did it.

is it possible that you could give me a step by step guide as to how to accomplish this? i am trying but seem to be failing.

Bump, I could also use some help with ssretz's problem.

hmm..on ICS, tried your solution anyway. copied the file over to the location you specified, but when i run the command in the terminal it says no such file or directory.
Edit...i ran su -c insmod /system/xxx/xxx/tun.ko
i ran su earlier, but not on the same line.
that seems to register it. will test later.

still failing to copy files
Hi,
im running the TF PRIME 2 with ICS 4
im trying all of the suggested aboe and still failing to copy a file to the system/library/modules folder

I've done it via command line (you must mount the system directory in RW mode) using multiple iteration of the proper switches until it finally worked, but if you're struggling, just spend a couple bucks to buy Root Explorer. The aggravation you'll save will be well worth it.
Root Explorer has a button that will eliminate the command line instructions necessary to mount the system directory in RW mode and return it to R only, along with allowing you a simple copy/paste interface to move the files.

connects but does not route over tunnel with CM9/Megatron 1.0.1
Current system with issue: Megatron 1.0.1 with stock kernel.
Details:
I am able to connect using Rooted anyconnect, and I see my route table getting updated but when I try to access a resource on the vpn network it can not reach. I am not able to ping, ssh, rdc to any resource thru the tunnel. Local lan resources such as my own computer work fine or internet resources
I see the following interfaces get created after I connect:
-csctun0
-droptun0
My route table displays updated routes after vpn connects showing to use the iface of the cscotun0 for the resources that need to be routed thru. (192.*, 10.*, etc)
Funny thing is that I am able to use the stock 4.0 ICS and/or older honeycomb releases and it works fine. It's just with Megatron 1.0.1 or any CM9 rom. I tried using update-cm-9-20120329-NIGHTLY-tf101-signed.zip, still a nogo. Leads me to believe could be related to the CM9 trunk.
The logs between stock and CM9 flavored roms look the same on anyconnect. Nothing glaring.
lsmod doesn't show the tun module in as I believe now tun is compiled directly in the kernel (can someone confirm this?) (Running lsmod with stock doesn't show tun, nor in CM9/Megatron).
I love me some cyanogen and really like ricardopvz work especially the quick apps, but I need my vpn working for production support as its nice to work off the tablet when I am not near a computer.
Any help or direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Confirmed that my problem only exists with CM9/Megatron roms
AOKP and stock based roms work fine. Any one else have this issue?

[Q] Sensation CIFSManager with TempRoot

Ok, so the latest temp-root has gone well, and things still work okay, which is a great improvement, and much kudos to the devs for this.
However, CIFs Manager seems to not work, and I like to watch stuff over my network - and I'm pretty sure it's something very simple to do with SymLinks and stuff, as to how it works.
"Mounting the share has failed with an error
mount: mounting //10.1.100.10/Films on /mnt/cifs/Films failed: No such device"
Same settings work fine on my Desire, so I know the network's good, must be something to do with where it's looking, or trying to work, and the symlinks etc. in the temp-root.
However, I haven't a clue where to start - maybe someone can help out?

Maybe you start with reading the CifsManager FAQs?

Most Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: When trying to mount a share I only get an error message saying something like...
"Error running exec().Command: [su]"
A: Most probably your device is not properly rooted or the su command is missing.
"No such device".
A: Your current kernel or rom lacks the necessary CIFS support. Try to find a matching kernel module (cifs.ko) or use a rom with explicit CIFS support.
"mounting <yourshare> on <yourmountpoint> failed: No such file or directory"
A: Your "Mount Point" simply does not exist and CifsManager is not able to automatically create it for you. As automatic Mount Point creation is not done with su rights, CifsManager can only create Mount Points in directories with permissions 777 or on your SD-Card.
Q: I have installed CifsManager but launching the app fails with something like "Application not installed on your phone"
A: This is not a problem caused by CifsManager but a bug in your ROMs launcher. Look for an updated version of your launcher.
Q: I mounted my favorite share successfully but files with special characters are not displayed correctly.
A: Try to use a kernel with explicit UTF-8 support or try to find/load the kernel module nls_utf8.ko.

fed0r,
Great information there - thank you so much. I'll double-check the permissions, but I was sure I'd already altered the mount point to 777. If that doesn't work, I'll try using a mount point on SD too.
I never even thought that the issue could be something so simple - thanks agaiN!

I thought he was indicating:
A: Your current kernel or rom lacks the necessary CIFS support. Try to find a matching kernel module (cifs.ko) or use a rom with explicit CIFS support.

Yes, on reading it the second time over, that seems to be what is indicated. I actually had an error combining #2 and #3.
Ah well, back to waiting for S-OFF so I can flash a ROM with the right kernel, because I haven't got a clue when it comes to Kernel type things!!
So, Stock Sensation ROMs do NOT have CIFS support. Tested.

CIFS

Probably a long shot, given that the Infinity hasn't been out long yet, but does anyone have a cifs.ko kernel module that can be used with CIFS manager?
I've tried a few I've found for kernel 2.6.39.4. So far, they either fail or cause reboot.
Currently using the latest OTA 9.4.5.22 with kernel 2.6.39.4-00003
Thanks!

hi!
same same TF700T behaviour.
Also looking for mk4.ko and cifs.ko files for Infinity.
Currently version I have: (not very optymistic
1. Terminal Emulator
2. su -
3. insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko (or mk4.lp) = reboot :/

With CROMI and my kernel, you don't need to load any modules at all.

I know it's an old thread but accutally I'm on CROMI-X (last version) and with your kernel v2 or v3 cifsmanager seems to works well but the mount point folder are "empty" . Before on CROMI all was ok. I tried different manager and application.

Android 4.2 has per-app mounts. It still works fine if you mount via adb shell.

Yes but that requires a separate machine. There is a method of doing this but it requires some further kernel edits. I will see if I can dig up the post.

Mount Windows Share

I finally got 4.1 running. Is CIFS still the only way to mount Windows share?

There's also Mount Manager, but I personally prefer cifsmanager

Followed instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397461
But I am getting segmentation fault when trying to mount. Is there a set of different modules for this version of kernel?
Thanks

Report back: Mount Manager works. The modules are not needed as it's built into kernel

Moving to General.
