[Bug 313379] Re: Shares disappear from Nautilus weekly
More info please Do you have a central server? If so which OS; Window, Linux or other? Does the temporary fix work? Open a terminal window su your password cd /etc/init.d ./networking restart At that point can the machine suddenly see the rest of the network again? Also can i confirm that only 1 machine at a time may suddenly start 'playing up' by not being able to access the network or ping or anything but that while it's playing up Windows and Linux machines are still able to access data on the machine? (or does Windows just pretend to be able to see it but gives an error message when you actually try to access shared data on it?) Also confirming that all the Ubuntu machines suffer from this at some point or other with no discernible pattern. Aside from that all i can suggest is unlikely to help but ;- 1. Pick a problematic machine at random and ensure the cables wires are firmly in place and not worn bare somewhere the user might brush against. Check the network card is firmly in its slot (if the side panel comes off easily). 2. Upgrade a machine at random to Ubuntu 8.10, or wait 3 months to try with 9.04. A dual-boot choice with 8.04 and 8.10 might be less worrying to setup. Actually i've always had more joy with 8.04 so i seriously doubt this is the cause. The bug-reporting tool should be working properly again now. It was glitchy for a few hours on the day you posted, classic timing - i've never known that to happen before.

OK, the server i'm connected through is a Windows one and goes a bit crazy sometimes after which i sometimes need to follow the instructions in the attached png picture. Good luck :) ** Attachment added: networking restart after WinServerProblem .png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21037827/networking%20restart%20after%20WinServerProblem%20.png -- Shares disappear from Nautilus weekly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 313379] Re: Shares disappear from Nautilus weekly
Grrr, that all sounds very annoying. Do you only switch the machines or the router off once a week? Is it something to do with rebooting the router before/after the machines? -- Shares disappear from Nautilus weekly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 313379] Re: Shares disappear from Nautilus weekly
Sorry this is so long-winded and seems to lack direction. We'll get there. Ok, now i've read your report it's a bigger network than i first assumed - sorry about that. Also the problem has been going on longer than i assumed and various people haven't been able to find the pattern or cause. All the more annoying for you, sorry about that too. A few questions out of curiosity... Is the server a Windows or Linux/Unix one? Can the server see the machines but the machines can't see the sever? (or is it the other way around?) Can the machines normally see each other and does that stop too? It's quite possible that these questions didn't vaguely cover what system you have set up but i'd be interested to know. At the moment i only know that you have 8 machines with 6 of them on Ubuntu. I don't even know if your system includes a server. Note that Windows machines don't seem to realise they can't see a share that has just dropped out and happily keep the label on display even weeks after it's no longer accessible - double-clicking on it might show that it can't really read the folder it says is there. Quite a useful feature if the vanishing act was only temporary i guess. When next the problem occurs on just one machine try opening a terminal window on it and login as root (type su and the root-password of course) then do: cd /etc/init.d Ls actually that should be a little L. In there should be something called 'networking' or something very close to that. Type that in with --help just after it as in: networking --help Hopefully there should be an option to 'restart' or 'reboot' so try something like: ./networking restart the ./ is important. The command should be exactly as i typed it but you may be using a package other than 'networking' and that may prefer the qualifier 'reboot' to the term 'restart' although personally i tend to think of 'reboot' as being switching the entire machine off and on again which should be completely unnecessary. It should be the same command for all your Ubuntu machines as i guess they were all setup the same, presumably at about the same time? -- Shares disappear from Nautilus weekly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
