Worked. Took a few tries.
I had an extra space or something. edit ** hit save
Then error message: install ‘mate-common’ – which took some time to build, but the suspense was worth it.
Seahorse works but appears much the same as before, whcih is to say I don’t see a default or login keyring as I do on Mint.

edit** Logging into the server created a key. Reboot still nagged for cred.
I had to join the workgroup to get past that,
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
Edit the first line… and all is now golden.
Not very secure should little fingers get into it but I keep it up high…
