When mounting an NFS directory by doing:
sudo mount 192.168.1.5:/home/shared /mnt/common
I get the following error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.1.5:/home/shared, missing codepage or helper program, or other error (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so.
The kernel is up to date.
The question was already asked (for example here and here), but are either not answered or the answers are not helpful in my case.
What is wrong?
The error message mentions:
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount. helper program)
This is relevant given that you are trying to mount NFS. The /sbin/mount.nfs helper program is provided by nfs-common. You can install it with:
sudo apt install nfs-common
On the other hand, if you are trying to mount CIFS, the helper program is provided by cifs-utils. You can install it with:
sudo apt install cifs-utils
