Re: [MLUG] Connect to samba server from Ubuntu

[Jeremy McCumber <jeremy AT fantasticfamily.net>]

I've tried a variety of things but nothing seems to work. Here's my setup. 

Mandriva 2008 running SMB. Never had an issue with it. Everything worked quite well. I had Mandriva 2009 on a laptop that worked, as well as two Windows XP boxes. Recently got a new latop with Windows 7. Installed Ubuntu 9.10 as duel boot (BTW... I *hate* GRUB2, what a PITA compared to GRUB/Lilo).  Windows 7 can see the shared fine. Ubuntu cannot. 

What does SMBClient -d  //myserver  return?

Regards,
Jeremy

I'm glad some one brought this up. I have 9.04 server and the same problem. Funny thing is that when I see the shares my server name appears but it is really my laptop.

Hi,
This is the link I was talking about:

http://9w2tpt.blogspot.com/2009/11/samba-34ubuntu-910-problem.html

I did update the package, but I still have the issue. I'll continue to investigate, although probably for a few days.

Good luck!

Is there a better .deb package I can download and install to fix it?

I think this is a known bug with the SMB package in 9.10. I have the same issue and have not resolved it. I'm away from my computer, but I seem to recall reading about it.

Can anyone point me to a good tutorial on connecting to a samba server from Ubuntu?

-------

I put an Ubuntu 9.10 Server into a Windows domain, installed Samba, and shared it for people to read files.  Set samba permissions that everyone can see files and a specific samba user can add/delete files.

From a windows machine, I can see the Ubuntu samba server, view the files, and if I connect with the specific samba user credentials, I can also add/delete files.

From an Ubuntu workstation I can see the server, but I cannot see the share or the files.

Is there some package I need to install on the Ubuntu 9.10 workstation in order to see and browse samba shares?

I want to be able to connect to the Ubuntu samba server share from the Ubuntu workstation to browse and add/delete files using the specific samba user account which I created on the Ubuntu samba server.

Suggestions?
