Public bug reported: SAMBA refuses connections after each system restart.
I use my desktop as, well, a desktop. I like to connect to my local machines to share and backup files and such. I have several different devices running a mix of Linux and Windows. So, I shutdown each night since there is no reason to have my machine running constantly as it is not serving anything and updates can be done anytime. Anyway, SAMBA was always refusing connections. I tried and tried for months to fix it permanently, rather than having to need to resort to manually restarting the service each time I needed to access my network. This current install on this system is from November of 2012. So, after lots and lots of searching... I come across this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/771305/comments/17 It fixed my issue. SAMBA is now accepting connections after a restart and it does it automatically now. My real question here is: Why as this been allowed to persist for nearly 2 full years now? I've seen lots and lots of forum posts (with no working solutions) about this issue and no one could figure it out. Not even me (mind you, I'm no expert)... until I found the above linked post here on launchpad. In any case, this needs to be addressed. smbd not waiting until the system is up and functioning before it checks for network devices is just frustrating. Sorry about this long-winded, old news post. I just think this should be fixed sooner, rather than later. ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1128174 Title: smbd refusing connections after reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1128174/+subscriptions -- 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
