Dual booting Ubuntu 18.04 with Windows 10.
I realised Windows files are not visible by default, unlike in the past.
Mounting the filesystem directly doesn't work.
Steps I have tried include the steps outlined here, for a similar question. The suggestions do not work, because I get the error mount: /home/a/shared: mount(2) system call failed: Connection refused.
When I try to access the shared folder by typing smb://192.168.1.102, as stated here, I am unable to do so, because I get the error Unhandled error message: Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection refused.
To reiterate, I already have a folder that I am sharing through Windows Sharing Centre and smbclient is installed on Ubuntu. I just cannot connect to it and I can't figure out why.
Any help would be much appreciated. Otherwise I would probably need to switch to a distribution that lets me access my Windows files by default. Thank you.
