RE: [MLUG] Connect to samba server from Ubuntu

[Jeremy McCumber <jeremy AT fantasticfamily.net>]

Here's what I get when I run

smbclient -L //mynetwork -U jeremy -d 10

some config output followed by this about six times:
Opening cache file at /var/run/samba/gencache.tdb                      
tdb(unnamed): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/run/samba/gencache.tdb: No such file or directory                                         
Attempt to open gencache.tdb has failed.

and then this about 200 times:
s3_event: Added timed event "tevent_req_timedout": 0x13b0080   

and finally:
Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

unix extensions = no on both client and sever didn't work. :-(

I'll keep looking.

Just to clarify:

My server is running Mandriva 2008.

I have three other computers (One XP, One Win 7, one dual boot) connected to the SMB shares on the server. The only one that cannot connect is the duel boot when running Ubuntu 9.10. When running Windows 7 on that same machine, I can connect to the server fine.

I'll post my  smbclient output when I get home.

I gave up on trying to use samba; got rid of dual boot, installed Wine inside of Fedora12,  (root~> yum install wine), and can access any file on hard-drive, including windows files using 'Applications>Wine->Wine File'.  I've installed selected high-use WindowsXP-based executables using 'Wine Software Installer'. I have had no problems. 

However, this may be the right solution for the wrong problem, and may not totally accomplish what you are trying to accomplish.

Reading my mind. I was just thinking this morning about switching my server back to Mandriva 2009.

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!
Jeremy

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

Thanks!

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?
