Saw that there was an issue with apparmor and Samba installing BUT apparmor was never installed on server. Have tried to install samba by two different repos and get the same error.

Thanks and ready to post a bug but want to see if there is a “quick fix” my Google Fu missed.

This looks to me like you have packages from different repos installed.

I would suggest to remove all additional repos you added, and then run “zypper dup”. Samba should work then I suppose.

Or if you want to install Samba from one of those additional repos, make sure you install all Samba-related packages from there, like explained here:
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Vendor_change_update#Full_repository_Vendor_change

#3

I would suggest to remove all additional repos you added, and then run “zypper dup”. Samba should work then I suppose.

I thought I had done that when I installed Samba BUT it did install some packages after zypper dup.

Well now I have:

Failed to issue method call: Unti smbd.service failed to load: No such file or directory

When I zypper in samba I am told it is installed. Reinstalled and same issue.

How to Install Samba STABLE from Samba Repo and not the standard Repo

Follow this wiki http://en.opensuse.org/Samba I used 13.1 STABLE

Added Repo

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/samba:/STABLE/openSUSE_13.1/network:samba:STABLE.repo 

# zypper -r network_samba_STABLE dup

# zypper -r network_samba_STABLE dup

Should be ready to go

To Start

# systemctl start smbd nmb

To have automatically loaded at boot

# systemctl enable smbd nmb

SOLUTION to my issue
Some reason I had different dependencies in my install base >:(

# zypper se samba

# zypper rm

everything listed installed in zypper se samba

zypper lr

 to find the samba repo

zypper -r # samba

 # being the number repo for samba
#5

The service is called smb.service, not smbd.service.

So try this to start it:

systemctl start smb.service

Or to start it automatically at boot:

systemctl enable smb.service

Or just use YaST->System->Services Manager.

#6

Samba Server = smbd

#7

Yes, I know. And the Samba Name Server is nmbd, although you did use nmb there. :wink:

But the systemd service is called “smb.service”, not “smbd.service” as I wrote.
So use “smb.service” for systemctl.

#8

WHY did this get setup this way? Seems that calling for smbd server and not smb which means smb client to me? This doesn’t makes sense to me.

I will need to add that to the wiki on OpenSUSE

#9

WHY I don’t know.
But smb.service starts smbd, so that’s exactly what you want.
And nmb.service starts nmbd.

And it’s consistent with the sysvinit scripts in earlier versions, where rcsmb and /etc/init.d/smb were used.

I will need to add that to the wiki on OpenSUSE

This one?
http://en.opensuse.org/Samba

This already does say:

systemctl start smb nmb

and

systemctl enable smb nmb

(the “.service” can be omitted)

#10

Btw, the samba client is called “smbclient” since ages, and that is no systemd service.
