------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-17-09 19:29 ------- Here is the output you requested: [EMAIL PROTECTED] carsten]# update-alternatives --display samba-client No alternatives for samba-client. [EMAIL PROTECTED] carsten]# ls -l /etc/alternatives/smbmount lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Sep 16 21:07 /etc/alternatives/smbmount -> /usr/bin/smbmount2* ( green so I guess it is not broken ) /etc/alternatives/mount.smb -> /sbin/mount.smb2* Both seems to be okay. After running: update-alternatives --auto smbclient I was able to mount the directory as root. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: ASSIGNED creation_date: description: I upgraded my 9.1 installation to 9.2 - this went fine. But my previously defined samba mountpoints (which reside on a mandrake linux 9.1 server) did not successfully remount when I logged in afterwards. Choosing "Set Samba Mountpoints" in Mandrake Control Center result in the following error : "The package Samba-client needs to be installed. Do you want to install it?" Eventhough samba-client is installed. Printout from rpm -qa|grep samba: samba-common-2.2.8a-13mdk samba-client-2.2.8a-13mdk samba-server-2.2.8a-13mdk When clicking "OK" to install samba-client package, the following error comes out: "Mandatory package samba-client is missing" Leaving me in a deadlock. So I tried to mount it from the command prompt: mount -t smbfs -o username=carsten,password=flskor //lorien/test /home/carsten/mnt/test/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //lorien/test, or too many mounted file systems Best regards Carsten
