Iain Buchanan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: aha, that did it for me, now I can browse smb:// shares again! However there are other problems with it (new thread...) What did you do? I'm not sure what was meant by checking if samba USE flag is `set'. I had the problem with Nautilus (IIRC you were using kde?) so YMMV (you're mileage may vary)... Do you mean it appears in /etc/make.conf ... yes, I put it in /etc/make.conf because I noticed quite a few ebuilds use the samba or smb use flag. You could also put it in /etc/portage/package.use if you only wanted it enabled for a specific ebuild, and not your whole system. When I type `emerge -vp -uD samba' it does not find andy dependancies and doesn't want to reinstall samba. Further no `samba or smb' flags are shown for samba in the output neith on or off. My understanding was that any USE flags that might effect a package are shown when you pretend install it. Even after adding `samba' and `smb' to /etc/make.conf, no `samba' or `smb' flag is apparently involved with a samba install. Further I've never had samba or smb in /etc/make.conf before and samba has worked fine over serveral installs. smbclient //host/share works fin now so doesn't that mean its working as expected? I am reinstalling samba with those flags in /etc/make.conf so will soon see if it made any difference. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Further no `samba or smb' flags are shown for samba in the output neith on or off. ok, back up a bit (*beep* *beep* *beep*)... The samba or smb use flag is for (in my case) nautilus, or gnome-vfs, and (in your case) whatever kde file manager you're using, or maybe even kdelibs or something. after you put USE=samba smb into your /etc/make.conf, type $ emerge -p --newuse world to see all the ebuilds affected by the new use flags.

I've made a little script in perl that scans some ip's and makes entries for automount in /var/smb and than this script makes dirs like 192.168.0.3... and in them makes links to ghosted dirs in /var/smb. Any one intrested in it? This scripts scans only guest accessible shares. It helped me solve problem with mplayer, until this I had to copy entire film and then watch it, or by hand mounting it... I don't use kde/gnome and xfce's smb browser doesn't work for me. Any one intrested in it? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

And I cannot access the gentoo box from windows machines on the network. The /etc/samba/smb.conf hasn't changed and I can access the gentoo box from windows boxes nearby. Sooo... you can access it from nearby Windows boxes, or you can't? There appears to be a contradiction here.

That should fix things right? It doesn't necessarily need to show any new dependencies to make use of a new use flag. for example, following is gnome-vfs with and without the samba and smb use flags. As you can see, only one package is isntalled in both occasions, but the behaviour of that package is different: $ USE=-samba -smb emerge -pv gnome-vfs [ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.12.2 USE=hal ipv6 ssl -debug -doc -gnutls -howl -samba* 0 kB $ USE=samba smb emerge -pv gnome-vfs [ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.12.2 USE=hal ipv6 samba ssl -debug -doc -gnutls -howl 0 kB so just because you don't see any dependencies doesn't mean you won't get the new behaviour. It is strange though that a `emerge --newuse -p world` didn't show anything to be remerged... -- Iain Buchanan iain at netspace dot net dot au Money isn't everything -- but it's a long way ahead of what comes next. -- Sir Edmond Stockdale -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
