[Bug 26933] Re: Browsing SAMBA shares impossible
I'm getting exactly the same problems on Ubuntu Gutsy: empty network:///, but I can connect directly to the server. Sometimes no password/user is asked, but then nothing is shown... The best I can get is just that: connecting directly, putting in password user. Sometimes things get detected, sometimes not. And sometimes, many shortcuts appear, but when I try to open them (like smb:///KAMALEON), it tries to open them with a notepad. I'm going to attach some screenshot when possible. Can someone confirm this??

It's okay for me too, at least for now. When I tried before, sometimes I thought the bug had been fixed, just to have it reappear.

Seems like they are many hacks by hand in configuration files. So trying to understand what's the problem is impossible. Please do a fresh/clean install and give us a step by step of what you do to reproduce your bug.

[Bug 26933] Re: Browsing SAMBA shares impossible
That's probably a good idea. I purged all samba-related packages, started nautilus, right-clicked on the themes directory in my home directory and selected share folder from the nautilus menu. I then chose smb for file sharing, which led to samba being installed. I then filled out some names for the share. This resulted in the following /etc/samba/smb.conf: --- [global] workgroup = Linux server string = jupiter wins support = yes [Blopp] path = /home/j/themes comment = Muppet available = yes browseable = yes public = yes writable = yes - I then clicked on Go-Network in the Nautilus menu. This takes me to Windows Network, which I click on. I'm then presented with an empty Nautilus window. HOWEVER: If I press Ctrl-L in Nautilus and then type smb://jupiter I see the share, just as expected. It seems that the problem is that Nautilus does not automatically recognize the smb share. To investigate, I do tcpdump -s 0 -ni wlan0 port 445 or port 137 or port 138 or port 139. I see packets such as tcpdump: listening on wlan0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes 00:09:59.653810 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 2, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: UDP (17), length: 236) 192.168.0.3.138 192.168.0.255.138: [udp sum ok] NBT UDP PACKET(138) Res=0x110A ID=0x345 IP=192 (0xc0).168 (0xa8).0 (0x0).3 (0x3) Port=138 (0x8a) Length=194 (0xc2) Res2=0x0 SourceName=JUPITER NameType=0x00 (Workstation) DestName=LINUX NameType=0x1D (Master Browser) [...] To my complete amazement, for a second I could actually go to Windows Network under Nautilus and see the share, but when I try again one minute later it no longer works. To summarize, when I go to Windows Network in Nautilus I get one of the following, seemingly at random, in decreasing order of frequency: 1. A blank page (most common) 2. A popup saying The contents of the folder could not be displayed. 3. A login window asking me for a user name and password. 4. A correct display of the share (very rare). I am *very* confused. -- Browsing SAMBA shares impossible https://launchpad.net/bugs/26933 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 26933] Re: Browsing SAMBA shares impossible
I have what I believe to be the same problem. I've configured a subdirectory of my home directory to be shared via samba (see attached smb.conf) . I can browse the directory with smbclient or KDE's konqueror. If I attempt to access it in nautilus via Go menu-Network-Windows Network-Jupiter and then finally click on junk I get a dialog saying Cannot open junk The filename junk indicates that this file is of type x-directory/smb-share. The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type desktop configuration file.

One thing that might be related to this bug: If I try to add an smb printer via gnome-cups-manager, a login box pops up asking me to log into Avigato which is the workgroup name. There is no security setup requiring to log into the workgroup (I don't know whether this is even possible). Could it be that somewhere is the expectation that you need to log into a domain controller?

I have the same problem with the most recent version of Dapper on both PCs.
My network is:
1 Peer-to-Peer-Windows network, no domain controller
2 Four PCs, two with Win XP, two with Dapper (actually dual boot Dapper/Win XP)
3 All four PC are in the same workgroup (called avigato)
4 With smbc, I can browse the local machine, but no remote machines
5 Using Crl-L in the the network server browser in Gnome and entering a
remote share or the name of a remote host produces the error message Couldn't
display all contents Browsing the local machine is working.
6 Remote Windows printers are not accessible
7 I don't know where to check for the firewall settings. I am just using the
default installation.

My smb.conf is as follows:
#
# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
#
#
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which
# are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentary and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
# testparm to check that you have not many any basic syntactic
# errors.

## Browsing/Identification ###
# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
workgroup = avigato
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Linux server (%h)
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server
; wins support = no
# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
; wins server = w.x.y.z
# This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.

# For Unix password sync to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following
# parameters must be set (thanks to Ian Kahan [EMAIL PROTECTED] for

passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
# This boolean controls whether PAM will be used for password changes

I think it was related to a restrictive firewall I was running on the remote SAMBA box. Weird thing though, that Windows worked without any problems. Anyway, I've turned off the firewall on that box and it's working. -- Browsing SAMBA shares impossible https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/26933 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
