[Bug 313379] Re: Shares disappear from Nautilus weekly
Hi Tom Sorry it took so long to get back to you! Without listing each of the machines I have here. Other than 5 are running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy 32 bit, 1 is running Ubuntu Hardy 64 bit, 1 is XP-Home and 1 is XP-Pro, I also have a machine that is not part of the LAN except for a quick connection to the internet, it's used for accounting only and has XP-Pro-MCE. No matter how qwerky the Ubuntu machines are acting, both DOZE machines can always access ALL of the Ubuntu Machines. And yes I've actually opened files, not just relied on the mount showing, as I know they never disappear in the Doze. I DO NOT run what you consider a File Server, However, rather than hitting each machine for the files, I have finally combined ALL the Data from ALL the machines onto one computers hard drives and we call this a Data File Server. It has an internal EXT3 500 gig, rsynced to an external USB local NTFS 500 gig, and for redundancy we have an off-site 500 gig also NTFS that copies from the external USB NTFS. By doing it this, we only have to remember ONE IP number to enter in Go/Location when Nautilus is being it's nasty self. However, we still need to access the single shared folder placed on each computer quite often between each other during the day. I've mixed and matched and moved computers around quite a bit lately. Having a couple die on us and replacing them on a seniority type basis, arithmetic shift left, hi hi. I didn't get the new one last time, being nice to a long time employee, let them have it. But you know how that goes, when something new comes in, they all get past down one step. I did have an IT guy (who is really only familiar with Red Hat) over that has done a lot of work with Samba and he checked all of my configuration files, smb user files, networking, etc. and he could find nothing wrong. Whether Places/Network is showing the shares or not, all of the following work correctly: #1 smbtree will show each and every share. (NOTE: if smbfs is installed some are missing, so we don't have smbfs installed on any machine). #2 we can ping each and every machine under 0.15 in most cases. #3 we can in Network Tools where ping is located, use Traceroute and selecting each IP number it will show 1 HOP, the name of the originating machine and the name of the machine associated with the IP number we entered in 0.5 to 0.6ms for the machine we were looking at 0.2ms on the machine doing the looking. #4 when shares do NOT show in Places/Network, we CAN go to Go/Location and type in the IP address of the machine, eg: smb://192.168.1.100 and it will open each shared folder on that machine, including the printer or other devices that are shared just fine and we can then Click on the folder in the Nautilus window. When we do this, the Share we selected will MOUNT and appear on the Desktop until we select it and unmount it, or reboot. Without changing ANYTHING at all! If Places/Network was working for a couple of days just fine, it would just stop showing the shares. Sometimes this lasts for a couple of hours, sometimes for a few days. We ALWAYS select Places/Network in order to get TO the Go/Location bar. Another oddity about Nautilus is sometimes ALL the shares show under Places/Network WITHOUT having to select Windows Network and The name of our Workgroup Next. Other times, if we select Windows Network, then the name of our Workgroup, the shares will be showing there. When I'm setting up a NEW machine, before I configure the smb.conf file, the word WORKGROUP will appear after you select Windows Network. But as soon as I update the smb.conf file, that disappears, just as it should and only the Workgroup Name appears. All of our smb.conf files are identical (except for machine specific info at the end), as are the smbusers files (these are set up with both single names as well as user = user names (the IT guy did that). Places/Network not showing shares is NOT common among all the machines. In other words it don't happen to all of them at once. It might be one machine today, a different machine tomorrow, all of them working fine for three days. In other words, it's just random as to which machine is NOT going to show it's shares that day or for 2 or 3 day stretches, then it will be fine for a week or so. So, as you see, the single problem of shares NOT appearing Under Places/Network on all the machines ALL the time, but we can access every shared folder through Go/Location using the IP number, indicates to me anyhow that the Networks is fine, that Samba is working fine also, and the problem seems to be Isolated to the Nautilus Places/Network window. We do NOT have a server dedicated to Samba, as in the early days when you NEEDED one computer to be a HOST and all the rest to be CLIENTS. Maybe that is where I'm going wrong? We just set up simple file sharing using Samba on each machine is all. We DO NOT use Static IP numbers, but they never change, since Samba remembers
[Bug 325129] [NEW] Files don't appear in 64 bit Hardy that appear in 32 bit Hardy
Public bug reported: Ubuntu 64 bit version cannot read all the file names created in the 32 bit version or in the Doze. More simply, I finally built a file server and copied all of our files over to it using a 32 bit version of Ubuntu ALL of the document files are VISIBLE in the 32 bit version on ALL of our Ubuntu computers! They can be opened with Open Office, Edited and rewritten (or even simply copied) to ANY shared folder on ANY 32 bit Ubuntu Computer, including the File Server, EXCEPT the computer with the newly installed 64 bit version of Ubuntu. It generates the error, Invalid Argument! (Actually this is GOOD! So the complaint is not here! It's how I found the problem!) Where the problem lies is that the 64 bit version of Ubuntu cannot SEE these particular files as they reside on any computer or on the file server. If the file is on the hard drive, and the 32 bit versions can see it, open it, copy it, etc. Then so should the 64 bit version. It's OBVIOUS there is a illegal naming convention in the files. They CAN be opened and the filenames corrected using a 32 bit version of Ubuntu. But it will take virtually FOREVER to amend the file names of over 150,000 files doing them one at a time! It took long enough to go through all of our .doc files and convert them to .odt files AND we were able to save all of these files over the three recent months it took to do this! It's OK to NOT ALLOW illegal characters to be used in file names! And give a Warning! But it's NOT OK to SHOW these files in ONE Version of Ubuntu and NOT in another version of Ubuntu! They are there, so SHOW THEM and allow them to be opened to be fixed. As it stand right now, our ONLY alternative is to DELETE the 64 bit version and return to the more user friendly 32 bit version! Checking on PROPERTIES shows these files are there! But they do NOT appear in the 64 bit version. The 32 bit version of Ubuntu will NOT allow a file search for the illegal characters, in order to find and correct them! But it doesn't know they are errors either as through todays date, we have been using this file naming convention on numerous documents and the 32 bit version never complained that there were ANY illegal file name characters in use. Didn't see my log-in when I started this, so I am: Gary V Deutschmann Sr classichauslimi...@bbs.galilei.com Kellemora on the Ubuntu Forums If you need any more information! I'm also reporting to Open Office that their OOoWriter allows one to save files with illegal characters with no warnings!

[Bug 29043] Re: gpilotd runs away with CPU after completing hotsync
Hi Gang Same problem here January 30 2009 with Palm Tungsten E2! System Monitor shows gpilotd SLEEPING but eating 93% of CPU Htop shows 98% cpu usage /usr/bin gpilotd I hit this the last time I tried using the Palm on Ubuntu Hardy to update my calendar. Probably another reason why I still keep a Doze Machine around.. Over 2 years with no resolution in sight eh!

[Bug 313379] [NEW] Shares disappear from Nautilus weekly
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus About once a week at random, all shares both Windows and Ubuntu will disappear from the Nautilus Places/Network. This is a HARDWIRED LAN, NOT WIRELESS by the way. using SAMBA not NFS. We have made no changes of any kind to the computers. They work fine for about 3 or 4 days and Places/Network shows ALL of our shares with no problem. Then they will just disappear from Places/Network! However, if you go to Go/Location and type in the IP address of each machine, you can display the shares and mount them again and they work fine, just don't show in Places/Network is all. Also, all the shares appear in smbtree using terminal. And you can PING each machine no problem. From any of the other 7 machines you can access the computer that is not showing the shares. 2 machines are Windows XP, 6 are Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy. When Nautilus decides to act up, it's quite random, and can affect any machine, usually not all of the machines. It's like, well today is Friday, I think I'll just kick back and pester the daylights out of the operator today and not let the shares show today. Then tomorrow, not making a single change, shares start showing up again. I've been working with others to resolve this issue for over 3 months now and NOBODY can find anything wrong with ANY of my configuration files or Networking. I didn't expect they would, since everything works fine. The only issue seems to be that at random, Nautilus just decides it's NOT going to show shares in Places Network that day! One other thing, your BUG REPORTING TOOL in Nautilus does NOT WORK EITHER! Takes you to a page that displays the following: Lost something? There’s no page with this address in Launchpad. Check that you entered the address correctly. I didn't enter the address, I clicked on the LINK that Collects the Information and sends it, then it sends you to a non-existent web page here at Launchpad.
