Alright, I've figured out some of my weirdness... I tried my netbook that runs ubuntu, it connects to the desktop with samba. I tried my wife's windows desktop, it connects to the desktop running samba. I tried from a Centos 5.4 server/desktop and it connected to the desktop running samba.

This doesn't have low importance, this is invalid as a bug report. Saying samba is too damn complicated, underdocumented, error-prone and dependent of other network characteristics to be easily used as a default file sharing solution is true, but it's not a bug. Nor is samba is not working for me. I perfectly agree that file sharing could use a lot of simplification and that effort should be spent on that. There is not a single bug that, if fixed, would make it work for everyone. As a gathering point for every single user that failed to setup file sharing in karmic, this bug is useless. It's perfectly working for most people. There is a variety of specific bugs or missing documentation, each different, that prevents you from completing a file sharing setup. Sometimes it's samba that doesn't play nice with your DNS, sometimes it's samba not starting etc. If you can point to a specific issue that is reproducible, file a new bug rather than adding your samba fails for me as well comment here. In parallel, adding your voice to brainstorm.ubuntu.com on how much we should make file sharing simpler could help. Filing fuzzy bugs and insulting developers is not the preferred way to go.

Correct. Apology offered. My bad.

Related observations, as I try to stalk down the Launchpad bug that surely must exist for the apparent CUPS/samba Upstart race*: Nautilus will show browsable items via smb://ip_address or smb://dns_name (where, if anyone is confused, ip_address would be e.g. 192.168.1.64 and dns_name could be mymachine.local - or localhost for 127.0.0.1); Whichever SMB stack Nautilus is using does *not* seem to be doing netbios name resolution properly at the moment, at least on my machine and network. This is made confusing because it does retrieve the browse tree of workgroups and netbios names, but falls over with a less-than- descriptive error (Unable to mount location, Failed to retrieve share list from server - well, yes, but apparently because it's not finding the proper address for the server) if you double-click on any individual host. So, for determinism in testing, you might want to stick with IP addresses there. * The apparent race is evidenced by log.smbd entries such as: [2009/12/10 11:26:10, 0] printing/print_cups.c:103(cups_connect) Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost:631 - Connection refused after a reboot, so you're probably also better off testing with shared folders than with printers [which, if you're relying on samba to pick up from CUPS, won't appear until you give samba a restart so it can talk to a CUPS that's finished loading]. -- Karmic-Networking (SAMBA) just does not work, even with detailed attention. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456808 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

@emarkay: 1/ Windbind is used to integrate with Windows domains. It is not useful to access SMB shares on individual workstations being part of a common workgroup. 2/ The main issue you're reporting here is how much easier it should be to set up shared files through Windows SMB networking on Ubuntu. Launchpad bugs are not used to track such generic bugs (bug #1 being an exception), but rather specific issues. You should use the Ubuntu Brainstorm site for this request. 3/ The method you're using is *not* the recommended, simplest way to do it. Doing it through samba manual configuration requires a good understanding on how samba works, as this is a very complex piece of software. Your remarks 4 and 5 in comment 10 seem to show you're underdocumented in that area. 4/ I'd recommend using the existing tools integrated on the Ubuntu Desktop instead (right-click on a folder in Nautilus and select Share options). That's the recommended, dead-simple way of doing it. Unfortunately your tries at a manual samba/winbind setup might now interfere with this feature working correctly. I'd recommend you purge samba samba-common winbind from synaptic before you try to enable the shares in Nautilus. -- Karmic-Networking (SAMBA) just does not work, even with detailed attention. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456808 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

First, sorry about sharename - I didn't even know about that - I guess ShareName is the default? Second - I notice that the folders I have made as shared are no longer, on both machines - I reenabled them - I did not know when and how this had happened. #12: 1. Type in Location in Nautilus: smb://192.168.x.xxx/ShareName gets this: Could not display smb://192.168.x.xxx/sharename/. Error: Failed to mount Windows share Please select another viewer and try again. 2. $ sudo ufw disable [sudo] password : Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup and repeating the above gets the same response. #13 :2 No the issue is, It doesn't work! - the suggestions are added as a reference, and have no bearing on the actual issue. :3 Well I took the information direct from the Ubuntu Wiki, and the Ubuntu Messageboards, as well as prior experiments from other online sources - this validates my suggestions and leads to the conclusion that a/the problem may also then be (emphasized) the underdocumentation as well! * Comments indicate possible operator error and therefore I am going to reload a fresh install of the Karmic RC on both machines. (I wanted to do this at the release anyway to test, but I can use the RC today.) After a successful boot and update/upgrade, I will then do nothing except what I have documented here, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287543 on both machines, AND create a directory/folder on each machine that is indicated as shared in Nautilus. Please then give me a specific procedure to test. This should identify if it's operator error or Ubuntu error. I expect to have this completed in a few hours, and when I see procedures here to test, I will make those first priority today.

#4 Re:Winbind, because somewhere it was recommended to have installed. winbind is a component of the Samba suite of programs that solves the unified logon problem. Winbind uses a UNIX implementation of Microsoft RPC calls, Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAMs), and the name service switch (NSS) to allow Windows NT domain users to appear and operate as UNIX users on a UNIX machine I fail to see how winbind can help in your scenario (since you don't use a Windows domain) and I can certainly imagine how it can lead you to failure if badly configured. Please try with just samba installed, and not winbind. #5 What does smb://IP of a remote PC/sharename return ? #6 2. it's /var/log/samba/log.nmbd. And we need those of the remote PC, the one that you're trying to connect to and fail. I'm still trying to figure out what exact bug you're reporting here, apart from general failure to configure SMB networking on your machines, and how much simpler this should be (which is not a bug). I suppose it's the can't access remote PC via smb:// in Nautilus, while I can access it just fine locally. If I got it right, could you: 1/ try accessing the share using smbclient rather than Nautilus ? Try smbclient //remote_system/share_name 2/ try to define guest ok = yes in your share to rule out account name issues. -- Karmic-Networking (SAMBA) just does not work, even with detailed attention. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456808 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
