I recently upgraded to 11.3 and must say am highly disappointed. Between the multitude of problems, and sudden lack of long standing tools ( Sax2, system repair, loss of functionality in software installer), this to me has been a major step backward.
Now I have found out Samba as well has stopped working, sort of. I can still copy from windows share to my Suse box, however copying from Suse to the windows share now results in an error, the details for which just say invalid argument.
Any help would be greatly appreciated in getting this working properly again.
Also note there are no logs in /var/logs/samba so I don’t really have a clue whats happening.
So, why not show use your smb.conf file and tell us about the Windows computer types you are trying to communicate to. I have a Samba write for openSUSE 11.2, but I use the same setup under openSUSE 11.3. I am planing on a rewrite in the future for some changes, but nothing is there that will stop it from working with openSUSE 11.3.
Samba SMB file sharing in openSUSE 11.2
Thank You,
Well it worked for me in 11.1, and later when I upgraded to 11.2, it only stopped working after upgrading to 11.3, on same network with same shares etc…So I’m nopt sure why the smb.conf would have changed but here it is:
[global]
workgroup = DOGSOUT
passdb backend = tdbsam
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
cups options = raw
map to guest = Bad User
logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
logon drive = P:
usershare allow guests = No
security = user
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
domain logons = No
domain master = No
include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
ldap suffix =
netbios name = Scoobster
wins server = 192.168.0.1
wins support = No
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S, %D%w%S
browseable = No
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
[profiles]
comment = Network Profiles Service
path = %H
read only = No
store dos attributes = Yes
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
[users]
comment = All users
path = /home
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/
[groups]
comment = All groups
path = /home/groups
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
printable = Yes
create mask = 0600
browseable = No
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
write list = @ntadmin root
force group = ntadmin
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
Aftre further investigation, it seems I can read/write fine from share if I mount them via CLI, so it would seem maybe this is a Fuse/GVFS problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry about not responding yesterday. My message notifications got screwed up somehow after seeing online Data corruption errors on the forum. This was very unnerving for me.
Anyway I would ask what name does your Samba computer go by anyway to other computers? I might suggest you add these two entries under [global]
netbios name = ComputerNam
server string = Comment About Your Computer
and I would change:
security = SHARE
Restart Samba and see if this does any different for you.
Thank You,
@silenuz do you really have a wins server configured on your network? If that’s a “yes” is it a Linux machine or a windows machine? If that’s a “no” then your openSUSE box will have difficulty seeing other computers. So is it a yes or a no?
