Mageia forum

Hello,
i've got mageia 3 and samba installed. In my network, i've got a ubuntu and a old windows xp.
Windows and ubuntu can see my share folders on mageia.
But I can not see the share folders on the other machines. I can not go out. It does not work. I can not mount them.

Code: Select all

[root@localhost etc]# smbstatus

With network servers :

then,


Thanks for your help.

Could be a firewall issue, please have a look at viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4987

Hello and thanks for your reply.
I've done that : urpme shorewall-ipv6
And it's not better. I've got the same messages. I can not open the shared folders of the other machines.
I've disabled firewall, and it's not better too.
Sorry

Try entering in the location box of your file manager

Code: Select all

smb://stephane/share

Replace share with the name of a share that you have set up on stephane

(I assume that poste3 can access shares on stephane and vice-versa)

Hello jkerr82508, and thanks for your reply.
Poste3 is a windows machine and stephane is an ubuntu one. Poste3 can see stephane and vice-versa. And we are able to exchange files between the 2 machines.
The problem is mageia. I can send files from ubuntu or windows in a share folder on mageia but i can not send files from mageia to the share folders of the two others.

You said me :
Try entering in the location box of your file manager

Code: Select all
smb://stephane/share

So i've got that :



It's hell...

Make sure that you have the samba-client, gvfs and gvfs-smb packages installed in Mageia. I can't think of anything else to try at present.

Jim

Hello Jim,

Yes they are....

I think that the problem is harder. I've read that : https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7017 & https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2806

It seems that there is no solution.

I've no recent experience of nautilus. I mainly use Dolphin in KDE and it has no problem displaying samba shares. You may not want to try dolphin, as it would bring a lot of KDE with it. However, I also use pcmanfm (in LXDE) and it does display a samba share, after entering smb://server/share in the location/search box. You may want to try it but I've no idea if it will actually work in Gnome.

Jim

also in mageia, open a terminal and run

smbclient -L \\windowshost\sharename


that bypasses all the gui tools.

it could be your magiea box is not able to map an ipaddress to the windows or ubuntu system correctly to match there shared
netbios name.

if thats the case, try adding an entry to your local hosts file of

192.168.x.x windowshost

or whatever your ipaddress of XP system is.

In case of newer kernels like in Mageia 3 the security level for cifs mounts has been changed (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kerne ... 846e3b14ce). So if you try to mount a share on a samba client which assumes that the security level is "sec=ntlmv2" any mounting attempt will fail. In such a case you will have to set the following option explicitly: "sec=ntlm". A valid fstab entry on your Mageia system may look like this:

Code: Select all

//ubuntu/data /mnt/ubuntu/data cifs credentials=/etc/samba/auth.ubuntu,file_mode=0664,nosuid,sec=ntlm,nodev,noexec,dir_mode=0755 0 0
