Yes it is ready: Press pwr on button, user name, password, startx and ll /mnt/smb in the terminal:
I see. Well, I've now done it this was as opposed from starting with a GUI login. I still have no problems.

However Thunar or Nautilus can not display this when I click on smb.
By clicking on "smb", you mean double-clicking on "mnt" and then double-clicking on "smb". Yes?
. No, I could triple click and still nothing, however I have an USB external drive, WD4TB, I have mounted, that requires a double click to open and display its' contents. NFS opens simply by selecting with one click, I think SMB should do the same as it does in the other, ws2, Fedora-31, computer with Thunar? I am not looking at the Network Browser, I've given up on that.
Sorry to be picky here. The next question is very important. Read carefully.
But, I need you to confirm that when talking about smb you are *not* talking about an smb entry under "Devices".
° I hope I can answer this satisfactorily ... When I say smb that is smb in the left panel of the file manager and smb appearing under Places, I can't drag it to devices, it pops back down. But a new observation, In Thunar I selected File System and navigated through mnt to smb and dragged it over to the left panel where it happily resides next to NFS, both under Places in the right panel, below them is the smb I was talking about that does not open anything, the one above does open and provide the list of files.
NFS also appears a second time above those under Devices and it opens too? Nothing I have tried so far will put smb under Devices, but it does seem to work now at least The FC31 WS2 is the same.
Here is the "problem".
When you have the share mounted on /mnt/smb there should be *no* smb entry in the Left-Panel. That is because Thunar is only "scanning" /media for local mounts. When a mount occurs under /media Thunar will place an entry in the Left-Panel under Devices. It will *not* do that for mounts under /mnt.
If the share under /media is unmounted Thunar should remove the entry from the Left-Panel.
Why it is still there on you Thunar, I do not know. However, it is a useless entry. No amount of clicking on it will be effective.
When I do a mount of the share under /mnt I do *not* have an smb entry on the Left-Panel. I have shown that with images I've post online.
There should never be a need to drag and drop entries to the Left-Panel. As a matter of fact, I think that will cause more confusion than ever since I think the action is actually creating a short cut of some sort.
I really don't know how Thunar is currently showing things and I think the GUI has been confused by the actions taken. I don't know how Thunar keeps track of where things may be.
I don't know how to "reset" Thunar. It *may* be helpful to post a screenshot of your Thunar online.
I would consider either deleting the user "bobg" on ws1 and then recreating the user. Making sure the uid and gid of the new user are 1000. Or I would change the name and uid/gid of bobg and then make a new user bobg.
To me part of the problem/confusion comes from naming the share mount points and a system the same as the protocol.
