Problem with samba in SuSe 11.1

English Applications
1

I have installed samba in SuSe 11.1 on my laptop.
On my PC- Windows vista and another PC- Windows XP.
when I try in Konqueror run such command:
smb://192.168.3.10(ip of one of the PCs) - i see all PS-s shares - (films,music etc) but when i try to open shares- the next message appears :
The process for the smb://192.168.3.10 protocol died unexpectedly.

In previos version of SuSe i didn’t have such problem.

Can someone help)

I don’t use samba as I connect nix to nix

But I have a feeling there is an issue, search the forum for samba.

Think you might have to set the firewall manually.

Possibly you just have to give it a bit of time. E.g. have a look at this thread:
smb protocol unexpectedly stopped - openSUSE Forums

And see if turning the firewall off makes a difference.

I’m using OpenSuse 11.1 with samba-3.2.6-0.3.1 sharing files and printing from and to Windows XP. All working perfectly. Maybe you need a bit of patience in setting things.

Stop this nonsense. 10.2 has reached end of life.

I used Samba under 10.2 and now under 11.1. Under 10.2, I don’t
remember having to use smbpasswd -a passwordonwinPC in order to access
the shares on the Linux box from Windows. Before I did that, I would
get an error, although I am not certain it is the error that you mention.

What you experience/d in one Samba situation should not be anticipated to be the norm because Linux Samba servers can be set up in many different ways.
