Problem with Samba on openSUSE Tumbleweed

Wolfblitz · August 18, 2011, 3:32pm

I have a problem where Samba sporadically gives a ‘tdb_transaction_start_nonblock error’.
I have also tried using Smb4K to browse the network but it gives me the same error.

smbclient -L does however work and lists the shares available on the server.

I also get a


Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_smb'.

when I try to access the share via Dolphin or Krusader

Here is some info from the machine

Unless your Opensuse machine is a member of an NT or Samba domain, the
parameter “security = domain” should NOT be used. Just delete that parameter
and let Samba use the default of “security = user”. For details on this and
all the parameters see man smb.conf.

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html

After the change restart Samba.

In addition make sure both smbd and nmbd are started, and that these three
services are allowed through the firewall. Samba Server, Netbios Server and
Samba Client.

In addition to these, name resolution would work much better if you used the
following parameter in /etc/samba/smb.conf:


name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins

this makes sure that broadcasts are tried first in resolving netbios names
(this is the default method of MS Windows.)

SOLVED!!!

Firstly @venzkep thanks for that. Don’t know how I missed that one. Also added the name resolve order as suggested.

Unfortunately that didn’t solve the problem.

The problem came about when I ran zypper dup to upgrade from 11.4 to Tumbleweed. Somewhere in one of the packages a dependency or version is not marked and things broke.
It was trying to use the wrong libraries which caused the

symbol lookup error
and
undefined symbol
errors.

How I fixed it.

Open YaST
Search the packages for Samba
Go and check all of the installed packages and make sure the latest ones from the openSUSE Tumbleweed repository is installed
Restart smb and nmb
tadaaa

Problem expunged.
