system-config-samba update!! w00t!!

[Thetargos]

Just for those of you who got frustrated with the poor system-config-samba package from FC2 which prevented you from adding users, there's an updated version now!! Get it while it's hot!

[superbnerd]

you can add users under the preference menu.
finally an official update that doesn't have have dependency problems!

[Thetargos]

Yes, I know, but many users were affected by this bug.

[ghenry]

Trying now.

[mugs]

Well, I upgraded, and just like with the previous version, I cant get it to start. Nothing happens.... :confused:

[superbnerd]

What exactly doesn't start, system-config-samba or samba? try it from the command line. It should print out any errors. Is your system a fresh install or an upgrade, and how did you install samaba?

[mugs]

the config wont start. Here are the errors I get:

[mugs@dhcppc1 mugs]$ system-config-samba

Thanks.

This is odd. In the last days I've seen a rampant number of python applications crashing, specifically those for admin programs (system-config-network [on my home server], system-config-printer[-gui], system-config-nfs and some others). I really don't understand why are so many python applications crashing.

I was getting this error. I found out that it was because my smbpassword was blank. All I did was open /etc/samba/smbpasswd and added a # to the start of the file. And then system-config-samba was able to launch.

This is what my file looks like:

still cant start it

"AttributeError: ('server signing', 'Auto')"

There you have it, mugs. This option in your smb.conf causes it to crash. I guess its a upper-case-problem. Change "Auto" with "auto" and it should work.

[mugs]

Bear Knuclke, I made the change you suggested but still the same error. Thanks.

Hi,

I got the same error message after I played with the Samba configuration via the KDE Control Panel. However, since I like the KDE Samba tool, I just removed the Fedora one. I am using KDE 3.3.1 and I can't remember if that tool is in KDE 3.2, which is shipped with FC2. KDE 3.3.1 packages for FC2 are available on the KDE server.

About those python errors... My system-config-display crashes too, saying:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py", line 423, in ?
hardware_state.merge_into(xconfig)
NameError: name 'hardware_state' is not defined

I really don't know how to solve this. Does any one of you people?

Yeah. Me too.
Removing
server signing = Auto
line from smb.conf solves the problem.
By the way, what is this parameter for?

[mrguytx]

please do an 'rpm -q python' and see which version you have.

if you got the latest python2.4 from the dev tree via yum or any other method, python2.4 is hosed.

you should have python 2.3 or lower.

hope that helps.
