Samba, autostart problem

English Network/Internet
1

**Hello

**I’ve set the autostart of Samba in Yast (runlevel 3, 5). The samba seems to be running after start, but when I try to browse the network in Nautilus so there is the folder is empty. If I restart the Samba manually (rcsmb restart), so it works in nautilus correctly.

Do you know how to force the Samba to work properly after login?

YaST does not seem to work properly with systemd. In a terminal try:


su -
systemctl status smb.service
systemctl start smb.service  # only if needed
systemctl enable smb.service

(do the same for nmb.service)

This was written for Fedora but it applies to openSUSE and will help explain systemd

This is the result of it:

but it didn’t help. Only the manual rcsmb restart helps :(.

Try on a terminal:


su -
chkconfig nmb
chkconfig nmb on
chkconfig smb
chkconfig smb on

It didn’t help.

Here’s your solution:

In Yast - Network Devices - Networksettings
Assuming networking is set to ifup.
Go Overview, select the networkcard, click Edit
In the General Tab, change “At cable connection” to “At boot time”.
Reboot and samba should run without a restart.

Do yo mean that the services failed to be enabled (“chkconfig smb” will
say), or that the service is activated, it does run on boot, but fails?

Because if it is that, Knurpht advice will be on target.
