[Bug 521397] Re: Unable to mount shares from Windows ME
I upgraded to kernel '2.6.28-18-generic'. Now the general symptom is the same, but the exact error-messages are a little bit different. # ping -c 10 PurpleComputer ... 10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 8999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.446/0.456/0.472/0.028 ms # smbclient -N -L //PurpleComputer ...

[Bug 521397] Re: Unable to mount shares from Windows ME
OK, I found a message on the Samba mailing-list that helped. http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs- client/2007-February/001720.html Using that, I figured out a work-around: # mount.cifs //PurpleComputer/DQFILES /purple/dqfiles/ -o rw,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770,gid=dq,credentials=/root/for-PurpleComputer.cred,ip=192.168.15.6,servernetbiosname=PURPLECOMPUTER (success) Having to hard-code the IP address is an annoyance, but in my case it is in fact a static IP address. If it wasn't, I could put the following in a script: mount.cifs //PurpleComputer/DQFILES /purple/dqfiles/ -o rw,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770,gid=dq,credentials=/root/for- PurpleComputer.cred,ip=`nmblookup PurpleComputer | grep '00' | cut -f 1 -d ' '`,servernetbiosname=PURPLECOMPUTER -- Unable to mount shares from Windows ME https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521397 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

1st: Yes. 2nd: Tested with a live CD (the install CD). # smbclient -L //PurpleComputer Password: (just hit Enter) (success) # sudo mkdir -p /purple/dqfiles # sudo mount //PurpleComputer/DQFILES /purple/dqfiles -t smbfs -o uid=ubuntu,user=davidl mount: wrong fs type, bad option ... # dmesg ... smbfs: CIFS is deprecated ... smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported # sudo mount //PurpleComputer/DQFILES /purple/dqfiles -t cifs -o uid=ubuntu,user=davidl mount: wrong fs type, bad option ... # dmesg ... CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/ return code = -22 3rd: Windows ME runs some games better than Wine. Also, last time I tried the scanner we use with that computer with Ubuntu, there were no drivers for it; although that was a few releases of Ubuntu back... As stated before, this used to work from the exact same computer except with an earlier version of Ubuntu; and it currently works from Debian Etch and Windows XP. -- Unable to mount shares from Windows ME https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521397 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 521397] Re: Unable to mount shares from Windows ME
Thanks for your help making Ubuntu better by reporting this bug. First a stupid question: do the /purple/dqfiles and /purple/programfiles directories exist in the Jaunty installation? Second: Why would you install Jaunty? It's supported until October 2010, but I'll strongly recommend Karmic, or even Lucid (still in Alpha). Could you please test a recent jaunty live-cd and see if you can reproduce the bug? Third: Windows ME is most likely the worst OS ever released... -- Unable to mount shares from Windows ME https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521397 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
