Hi,

I've installed Linux on a laptop I just got, and have gotten to the point where I can see my entire network, but cannot get INTO it. I see all my network drives, and I can even get a VNC viewer going to see into my server computer (Which is also running Linux). However, once I get to the network in the file browser, all the drives are identified, but as soon as I double click ON them, I get this message:

"The filename "----------------" indicates that this file is of type "desktop configuration file". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "x-directory/smb-share". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system.

Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "x-directory/smb-share", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file."

What should I do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Open the file if you created it yourself. That's just a security warning; it'll probably show up once per each share as you open them for the 1st time.

Alright, well, what is the "correct extension for "x-directory/smb-share""? I'm new to Linux as you can tell!

for the most part linux dosen't use extensions
this is no doubt just the browser trying to use the extension to tell it what to open the file with
