Ubuntu :: SMB Browser Just Keeps Closing When Browsing Workgroup?
Feb 4, 2010
I'm trying to add a network printer. I went to Admin > printing > New...It started searching for printers, then brought up a "New Printer" box... So I expand Network Printer, and go to "windows printer via SAMBA"When I hit browse, it shows my workgroup, so I expand WORKGROUP, and it shows the PC thats sharing the printer... however, soon as I expand that PC thats sharing the printer, the WHOLE thing closes out
Printer configuration, new printer, SMB browser, all of it closes as if i killed the process or something... I can even refresh and try expanding workgroup again and it'll close out

Now I have this issue on Ubuntu 10.04. Whenever i close the file browser(am running gnome), it reopens and throws a pop up saying "Cant find /media/A9AE-2182 Please check the spelling and try again."
Now, under /etc/fstab, there is no such device at all. Am wondering, how can i stop this? I click on Close all windows and then shortly it sort of auto-opens and opens 2 file browsers.
Maybe this is related to another issue i have, whenever i shutdown the machine, when i boot it up, on the splash screen it says unable to mount media, press M for manual repair or S to proceed. When i proceed, gnome starts off with no window manager, the windows are without borders and am forced to login as guest and run compiz --replace.

I made a fresh install of Kubuntu 9.10 with KDE 4.3 last week and everything went well. Everything except the web browsers. Whenever I browsing sites the browser will freeze up. Sometimes if I wait long enough, I'll be back up and running. However, sometimes I have to force quit. I have noticed that in some instances the freezing will be isolated to one tab, while other tab are in fine working condition. what could cause this and how to make it stop? I say Web Browsers because I use Chrome and Firefox and it happens to both of them.

Not sure if this was the right place to post this. Recently installed Ubuntu Netbook remix on my netbook. On Windows I used IIS and pointed my website to a directory full of video files all in .avi containers, enabled directory browsing and could watch files in the browser on my PS3.
I'm wondering how I go about doing this in Apache? Since there isn't any GUI to do it for me like in IIS :P.

I've just installed Slackware 13.1 in two different laptops for first time. I have some strange internet browsing behaviour in one of the laptops. I've installed 2 internet browsers(firefox,opera) using the directions from Slackbuilds.org and there is also konqueror pre-installed. Moreover I installed Wicd network manager.
I can browse some pages e.g. ..... with firefox very slowly but NEVER facebook. I can browse almost any page, even facebook, with OPERA but very very slowly. The same goes with konqueror... Wicd shows that i am always connected with my WPA wireless network

I have an existing windows workgroup set up. (for those interested, at the moment we must keep two computers on windows for school reasons...but will change as quickly as the semester is over and run windows in virtual) anyway, the workgroup has an HP F300 printer. our Ubuntu computers can see the network, and access shared files and external hard drives. but, it does not see the printer. we are running 9.04 on one computer, and 9.10 on the other. i know from [url]that if i connect directly, the printer will work. how do i access the printer without connecting directly?
How can i get all these to talk to each other when I get rid of the Windows set up? can someone point me to a guide for resetting things on a Ubuntu network/workgroup?

This is piece of my samba configuration with LDAP
Code:
workgroup = PCPR
netbios name = SERWER
server string = Samba %h PDC
My domain name is PCPR, (workgroup name is equal to the PDC's domain name, right?) but when I execute
Code:
net getlocalsid
i get
Code:
SID for domain SERWER is: S-1-5-21-3946501231-293034350-4217055208
Why SERWER, should not be PCPR?

I have one PC (morpheus) on which I've chosen to share a couple of folders in the home directory. The folders show the "Shared" icon in them and are chmod 777'd. I can access them by going to Dolphin -> Network -> Samba Shares -> Workgroup -> Morpheus -> Foldername ... but *only* on that same computer (Morheus). All my computers are running Kubuntu with KDE 4.5 and attached by ethernet.
If I try and go to Dolphin -> Network -> Samba Shares on *any* other computer, Dolphin just reports "Unable to find any workgroups in your local network. This might be cause by an enabled firewall." I've never set up a firewall on any of these computers. Do I need to open ports on my router just for this? Morpheus is set to DMZ mode on the router so it should accept *any* port request not assigned to another computer already.
I have a feeling that there's just something obvious I don't know, because in all my years of trying to get this to work on and off, I've never managed to find a decent *simple* CLI or GUI based tutorial or figure it out myself. The web just seems full of long threads of people having very specific problems unique to their situation trying to sort them out. I just want to share folders over a lan via KDE.

I need to reinstall the samba directory, mainly to get the default smb.conf. It appears I have to remove smbclient, which takes ubuntu-desktop with it (which I now know is mostly ok). Hopefully reinstalling those will then replace /etc/samba. There's enough troubleshooting samba threads out there for the rest. I'll flag this solved when I'm done.
I am working on setting up BackupPC on Maverick , for my network. I am unable to view my WinXP machine's shares if I type "sudo smbclient -L //JonDoe/" . However it works if I use the XP machine's IP "sudo smbclient -L //192.168.1.100/". Viewing the workgroup (with the proper name) in Nautilus only shows the Ubuntu machine. I ended up using multiple how-tos which had me install the following packages : Samba, smbfs, system-config-samba.
With all that nothing worked so I decided to uninstall the above with "remove completely" in synaptic, expecting everything to be completely gone. But /etc/samba with smb.conf still existed so I deleted it. OOPS!!! . Installing Samba after the uninstall did not create a new /etc/samba/ directory. Reinstalling smbclient in synaptic didn't create it either. Uninstalling smbclient with pull BackupPC with it. Sweet! I do have a firewall package installed which allows outgoing but blocks inbound traffic from outside my LAN. I will disable it when I get home.

I am using an Ubuntu 64 bit desktop. I need to create a network (the way you create a workgroup in windoz). I have two other machines running Ubuntu also and all connected to a 3-Com switch through ethernet. I would prefer not to use DHCP, and just have a simple network where I can share resources like drives and printers.

`I'm on 10.04 trying to access shares on a windows machine. The machine does not appear at all in windows network/workgroup. I can see these shares when I'm on my windows partition so I know the problem isn't with the network.
Code:
sudo aptitude install apache2.2-bin apache2.2-common libapache2-mod-dnssd

Here's what I have working now: one old Dell L933r (Ubuntu 8.04), one old homebuilt (Ubuntu 8.04), one Acer netbook (Ubuntu 9.10), and one HP netbook (Ubuntu 9.10); a Trendnet TEW-631BRP router; the Dell & the homebuilt are wired, and the netbooks are both wireless. The LAN was setup quite awhile ago, when I still had some Windows machines; I have no WIN machines now, and don't plan on any. There are times when I can "see" other machines on the LAN, and there are times when I can't - MSHOME and WORKGROUP are in view. How can I remove the LAN network in place, and start over, creating a LAN that will only be used by Ubuntu machines?

I've just recently got my samba confg working with a workgroup. I can view/access/modify windows machines on workgroup just fine. What I can't do is access shares created on ubuntu desktop. My ubuntu machine appears on Windows Workgroup, but denies to Windows users. When I try to create a share using Folder Sharing, I get this returned to me:
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Invalid parameter.
Here's by samba config file.

So everything seams to be fine on my F10 boxes networking. I can ping computers on the network with both LAN IP addresses, and their hostnames. However, I can only access my F10 box with a LAN IP. In windows, I go to view workgroup computers... only the windows systems. If I go to the F10 system with samba via the IP address it works fine, just can't get to it with a hostname.
I'm wanting a static IP of 192.168.1.22. And on the windows workgroup "workgroup".
I'm new to doing things with linux that are remotely difficult... and well, this has proven to be. I can't work out if this is a SMB problem, general networking...
smb.conf (I've ommited the top info segment due to forum character limit, as well as the SELINUX notes)

Similar to how Windows can list all computers in your workgroup (even if it's a slow process sometimes).
Can smbclient command do this or another samba util?

I have a home network with Ubuntu (3 PC) Windows (XP 3, 7 1 vista 1) and Lacie networked drive. I have successfully edited fstab to mount the lacie drive at startup on my main ubuntu PC and it works a treat. My problem is setting up the Unbutu PCs to browse the workgroup. This was working but now (since my last update of Unbutu I think) I get prompted for a password and no matter what I do it does not let me browse.
Now I have read a few things on Samba and do not have the time or ability to become a network engineer. All I want to do is is have on my Ubuntu the same browsing ability that seems to come out of the box in Windows.

My interest to be able to join my windows workgroup and be able to work with the windows shares . I am running Fedora 12 in a virtual machine as guest OS. I know I have to install Samba which does not come installed in Fedora 12. Do I need to configure samba after installation if my only interest is to work on windows shares from Fedora and not the other way around? .

I have an OpenSuSe Server configured with DNS, Samba (PDC + WINS), LDAP, Squid All this is in a hybrid scenario with other OpenSuse acting as clients and some Windows 7 also as clients. Everything works perfect. Both systems are able to join and authenticate in the Samba server very smoothly.
My problem is that in my workspace I have several different subnets/VLANS. So I have another OpenSuSe client here that needs to join the domain and authenticate with the samba server, but he just cant find it via the Windows Domain Membership setup screen (where I usually configure the others).
The server can pe pinged, and it does resolv local domain names. It seems the problem is that I have no place to configure a PDC/WINS server in Linux Client. It only asks me for the domain to join, and then it doesnt find it (Im guessing this happens because it cant receive the broadcasts from the server network).
Is there any way to declare the Samba/PDC/WINS server on the client side?

i just updated from karmic 9.10 to lucid 10.04 using the online upgrade option. so far everything is working great. the only issues i am having seem to involve firefox. when i visit videos i get the message "your browser is no longer supported. please upgrade to a modern browser." i am running 3.6 "canonical" so it is "modern". i am able to watch videos after i close the message. it's just an annoyance to get this message every time i view a video.
next, is on some websites (like this one) it will not supply my login info. but on a few sites (like ebay) it does supply my login info. not sure why some sites work while others don't. the info is there when i look under my saved passwords....
