is there some hardware common to those machines?? its very strange, and I mention the hardware, because I have three linux boxs here, one 8.1 box, uptime 179days, one 8.2 box, uptime 68 days, and one mdk9 box, uptime about 2-3 weeks...
I have them all on my internal network at present... and I use komba to transfer stuff to and from them, and to winders machines.. on a regular basis.. as you can tell from the uptimes, the box's have been pretty stable for me... I've had komba refuse to browse workgroups before, but never just locked up or crashed.. mind you I also have a tendency to close the konq window or configure komba not to open it, and browse the share in an Xterm using mc. perhaps you should try that... the fact that its gnomba and komba tells me of two or three possibilities.. 1. dud hardware somewhere in the picture. 2. you used the same samba-client rpm on all machines and there was something wrong with it. 3. Some hardware common to your mandrake systems that has some sort of conflict. thats all I can think off... get the latest samba rpms. (someone was advertising the latest on this list (coulda been newbie.. can't remember..) try them and see if it improves your situation. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ken Thompson Sent: Tuesday, 15 October 2002 3:48 AM To: Expert List Subject: [expert] Konqueror and Kmoba2 crash. Anybody know why komba crashes when the share is opened in Konqueror? This has happened in 8.1 - 8.2 and now 9.0 uysing the KDE 2x.x and 3.3x series.. It doesn't always crash on all machines <Huh?>, what I'm trying to say is it doesn't crash on every machine on the network. My Corel 1.2 fileserver works 100% of the time and all Winderz shares work 100% of the time.. All of my mdk machines are totally unpredictable as to which one will crash after SAMBA is set up, but once set up will crash <if it crashes at all> or no depending on what happens the first time I try to use Komba.. Sometimes I can delete a share with Webmin, re-create it and have it work OK... Nautilus will open the files OK.. OH, just found out that Gnomba has the same problem. Help anyone???? Ken Thompson
