[KPhotoAlbum] How to make share auto mount on system start

[Neil Paisnel]

I have been trying on the specific kubuntu FF forum, but no luck.
You gave good (better) advise  last time, so thought I would try here again. Will try your suggestions regarding dmesg and syslog  when I am back home Sunday, thanks

Neil

      I guess there's in fact something like a try to mount your smb share before
    loading smbfs module. Have a look at dmesg and the syslog file to see some
    logs about the order of those things.
    
    The thing is this list is maybe not the best list to discuss this kind of
    issue :). I guess having a look and posting into the ubuntu forums would
    increase your chances to have the right answers and to meat people who
    already solved the problem you're encountering: http://ubuntuforums.org/
    
    Crawling the forum a bit, maybe using autofs would be a good idea: this
    would automatically mount the windows share the first time you access it:
