[VU+ Uno4KSE] Samba not installing

[HeadBanger]

Samba fails to start and will not download. It was working on previous 6.6 versions but I’m not sure which one it stopped working with.

I have tried a fresh instal and same issue - I grabbed a screenshot per attached.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Do you have to remove it first from plugins feed RED button to remove .?

Then download plugins again to install.

Where were you getting it as think its default on new images?

 

[twol]

Should be installed, menu/setup/network/utilities/samba

I have tried uninstalling and then loading the plugins again but Samba does not appear for download at all.

Yes, that’s how it used to work for me but not any more for the last 3 or so versions. Even with a fresh instal and not restoring configs Samba does not work anymore (I did set network password).

Any idea what the message is telling me in screenshot on post 1?

Thanks,
HB

I prefer to install samba via putty. It doesn't even need a reboot.

#!/bin/bash
opkg update
opkg install packagegroup-base-smbfs-server
exit 0

Thanks

do you have at least a directory called samba under etc ?

Sorry I'm not experienced with telnet but I can follow instructions. What command do I need to input on PuTTY for my VU+ to tell me please?
And if it does not exist, how do I create it?

Thanks,
HB

 

[bellejt]

why do you not use simple program as DCC ? Then you can immediatly see directorys and copy from PC etc

I've never heard of DCC! So this will provide a direct view on a Windows PC that I can edit without Samba working?

[bellejt]

yes because yoy FTp to the and from the box DCC_E2 - 2.40 .You will need to make a profile there with config of your box and login with the set password

OK thanks I'll give that a go later.
And if it doesn't exist should I manually create it and then try running the package installer over telnet again? I don't want to mess anything further up!

if itis the same for mips and arm boxes then i can send you backup of my directory.Had problems with samba not starting in the past because a line in config was changed

So fresh instal. Samba not working again.
Created samba directory and then used telnet to download packages again. Samba still won't start.
Enter telnet command to start and still not working - see attached screenshot of the error.

I don't get how and why it fails on a fresh instal. Any ideas?

Thanks,
HB

maybe look in etc/samba/smb-user.conf if this is right:

[global]
# include = /etc/samba/distro/smb-secure.conf
disable netbios = No

Then reboot box.Worked for me a few updates ago

A shared library is missing.

Check if with putty if you have the package libnetapi1 installed

~# opkg list-installed | grep libnet

If not

~# opkg install libnetapi1

Samba has often been an issue and one of our members (sadly deceased) often fixed this issue.
its probably not much help, but the samba config setup is slightly different on the next OE-A version and worked first time for me …. Its just not ready for general building at the moment.

It says that it is - version 4.5.13 r5

Absolutely stumped

But still no joy unfortunately.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.
