Hi Guys.

Upgraded Solo SE II from 5.4.016 using GUI.
After upgrade the samba server dies with error in logs.
smbd errors:

Flashing back to to VIX 5.4.016 restores samba functionality.

Best regards

I cannot get SAMBA to start.

I've tried.
menu -> setup -> network -> utilities -> samba -> remove service
then automatic reboot
then telnet into the box and "opkg update"
then reboot
then menu -> setup -> network -> utilities -> samba -> which installs smb
then automatic reboot

Samba remains at "stopped" - autostart or manual start have no effect.
No Samba logs are produced

... it was working for me last night after a settings restore, but I can't check again at the moment.

EDIT: re-flashed with a settings restore and all ok.

@ccs, they are restoring the config files in their 5.4 backup, right? Remember we changed it so that did not happen?

Can you post some virgin config files?

A settings restore will bring back /etc/samba because it's in there by default for everyone.

Any updated configs from later releases of samba will be overwritten, although in practice it's very unlikely to cause any problems as reported in this thread.

/etc/samba/smb-user.conf and /etc/samba/private are the only 2 config files which user should change, and so were added to the settings backup.

/etc/samba should really be removed as it's not needed.

I'll dig out some configs later.

A re-flash of 6.0.001 without a settings or plug-in restore (and with a telnet “opkg update”) got Samba working again but an immediate follow-up with a settings and plug-in restore caused it to fail again.

I then reloaded 5.4.016 (from the backup including settings and plugins) and removed Samba
Then made a new settings backup for 5.4.016
Then re-flashed 6.0.001 and without restoring settings or plug-ins
Then telnet “opkg update”
Then reinstall Samba from the network GUI/menu

Samba running

The settings update from the 5.4.016 backup with Samba removed was re-installed followed by an automatic reboot.

Samba fails to start!

So it looks that if there is something in the settings backup that is “corrupting” Samba
 
/etc/samba is in the image release, removing samba will still leave /etc/samba in a settings restore.

Have a look at it before and after the settings restore.

This is my current /etc/samba (on ultimo4k 6.0.001) (/etc/samba is not in the backup, just the files/folders mentioned earlier.)

I've just updated my Zgemma H9S to 6.0.001 - same problem.

Yes an old backup wil likely restore invalid settings - so get it working and run a new settings backup, as BackupManager has now been changed to not save the “ bad settings“ for samba

It's not as easy as that, /etc/samba will still be in everyone's backup, the specific new samba file and folder have been added.

I moved from 5.4.016 with a settings restore (which included just /etc/samba) onto 6.0.001, ET10K, and there were no problems.

I've just tried that and it worked, restoring /etc/samba from about a year ago.

Your /etc/samba is older, but should be ok. The following will not work if you use wifi........

This will get you the latest /etc/samba, but you will initially lose any changes you may have made in the past.

Flash 6.0, and then (before restoring settings when you're prompted), telnet into the box and rename /etc/samba to /etc/samba.new

Then restore settings and plugins, telnet into the box again and init 4 to stop enigma, rename /etc/samba to /etc/samba.old

Then rename /etc/samba.new to /etc/samba and then init 3 to start up.

That should leave you with the latest samba configs. See if you can start samba.

Yes, backupmanager no longer puts it in settings even if /etc/samba exists, but it's already in the settings file so stays there.

I've just tried it and the whole of /etc/samba still gets backed up.

The commit is definitely in there, I thought it just appended entries to /etc/enigma2/settings, and that is then used to select which files to backup??

Code: 
root@et10000:/media/hdd/ccs/etc# grep samba /etc/enigma2/settings
config.backupmanager.backupdirs=['/etc/enigma2/', '/etc/fstab', '/etc/hostname', '/etc/network/interfaces', '/etc/passwd', '/etc/shadow', '/etc/etc/shadow', '/etc/resolv.conf', '/etc/ushare.conf', '/etc/inadyn.conf', 
'/etc/tuxbox/config/', '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf', '/usr/softcams/', '/etc/auto.network', '/usr/crossepg/providers', '/etc/samba', '/usr/keys', '/opt', '/usr/script', '/usr/sundtek', '/etc/rc3.d/S99tuner.sh', 
'/etc/wpa_supplicant.wlan0.conf', '/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers/terrestrial_finder.xml', '/etc/samba/smb-user.conf', '/etc/samba/private']
root@et10000:/media/hdd/ccs/etc#

You don't even need to install samba, everyone will have a copy of /etc/samba in their backups.
