Samba share not working suddenly?

view story
linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I have used my machine to share folders with Samba / Windows before, but it seems to have stoped working. I dont remember changing any samba settings since they were working some time back. Now, my Windows can't access my Arch shares. I noticed I see no Windows machines on my "Network" folder in nautilus not thunar also. I think the only major difference I did was switched to XFCE from GNOME3. I did not uninstall GNOME tho. jiewmeng https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=56964 2012-04-08T09:56:50Z (HowTos)

Stories similar to Samba share not working suddenly?

Have you read the original post? Because I still want Windows PCs to be able to access my share; they can, all other windows PCs on the network can see my share and browse what is in it fine. That part is working. But my other Linux PC cannot, and THAT is where I am having the problem.

I just did `pacman -Syyu`, then I tried Alt-F2 -> "r" to refresh shell. The UI hangs. I reboot, login (gdm working I suppose), but after logging in the screen becomes just the "wallpaper" of GDM and a cursor (that can be moved) nothing else apart from that... So GNOME 3.8 seems to be failing for me. dmesg shows that theres a segfault about libxsettings.so?

If I do it in the console (Ctrl+Alt+F2, tty?) I have the command work as expected. However when I do so in the (XFCE) terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+T), I get those high values.UPDATEFixed by doing 2%+ instead of 2+

I am attempting to access a Samba share in Thunar using the address "smb://hostname/share", but I can't connect because it does not prompt me for credentials. Is there a way to specify before connecting, or am I missing something? I have gvfs-smb installed on my machine.

I noticed recently my XFCE 4 is missing its background. I seem to have falled back to some gray background. I noticed icons/files that should be in desktop is also missing. Seems like desktop is broken somehow Whats wrong? How do I fix this? The single panel holding window buttons etc is still working.

How to? - Samba and shares 40 weeks 4 days ago

Are you trying to share a folder on your Arch box with your windows box?  Or are you sharing a folder on your windows box, and trying to see it from your Arch box?What desktop environment are you using?  Do you want to use a GUI filemanager?The easy way to start is by sharing a folder on the Windows box and trying to connect with something like Dolphin.  All other things being equal

I have a few conditions to meet with a new samba setup.I want to migrate a windows based share to a linux samba share. However this time the share is in the regular corporate LAN and I do not have the rights to add this samba server to the corporate windows domain.

Access Samba Shares - Errors 27 weeks 3 days ago

I am having problems to access samba shares, either in nautilus, or pcmanfm, or the shell:$ smbclient -L 10.0.0.6 -U aluno Enter aluno's password: session request to 10.0.0.6 failed (Called name not present) protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUTIn the file managers I get the following errors:Failed to retrieve share list from serverI do have gnome-gvfs installed.

I was reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ma … ing_.2Fusr and the section was marked out of date (Compressing /usr, because `aufs2` is no longer supported). I see `aufs3` in AUR does the steps still hold? It seems like the only part with aufs is: usr /usr aufs udba=reval,br:/squashed/usr/rw:/squashed/usr/ro 0 0Will that work? Also will the original /usr folder still be used?
