Re: [Bug 329974] Re: SIGSEGV in _nss_dns_gethostbyname2_r() browsing Samba printers, i386 only

2009-06-14 Thread the motorman
I forgot to mention but I had the same problem, I put Samba4 on thinking
that would help but it did not, and I then did a complete removal of all the
samba4 and any other samba I could and then did a reinstall of samba via
synaptic. However this did NOT install the smbclient. I am puzzled by this
as it is part of the samba install..It could have been that samba was
running when I tried to do the synaptic reinstall. If this makes no sense to
anyone then perhaps someone can tell me why I had the  use samba
printers  showing in the printing GUI with 8.01 then it dissapeared
when I upgraded to 9.04.

 The smbclient binary was already present, as I mentioned in my previous
 message (smbclient -L server shows the correct info). However, after
 some more digging it seems I had samba4 installed that that appeared to
 be the problem.

 I have downgraded to samba 3 and now everything works ok, I can add a
 SAMBA printer and printing works.

2009-06-13 Thread the motorman
just install smbclient  .. you can do this in the command window, not
abslotuley sure but I think it is something like:
sudo apt-get install smbclient
Make sure that samba is not loaded when you do this. you need to do a stop
on samba if it is running.
This worked great fro me under Ubuntu 9.04 and solved my inability to print
on a win box  printer in my LAN.

I do not know how to do a test without reloading 9.04 . I do not have a
problem now and can print fine with 9.04 and a 32 bit O/S. If you can give
me a safe way to check out your idea I will try but I am very concerned that
I will be back in the mess again. It took me nearly 35 hours to have a
system that does everything it should and did on U 8.1.
Whatever I did it seems that all I needed to do was to load smbclient as
this was missing when I did the update form 8.1 to 9.04.
Could it be that simple!!

[Bug 37027] Re: samba fails to upgrade due to post-installation script

2009-06-08 Thread the motorman
The problem is now fixed for me. After purging all Samba I did try an
apt-get install samba4. This did not work and it claimed there was a
lock somewhere. I checked and Samba was set to load during the startup
phase each time I started the computer up. I unlocked and then set samba
not to be loaded at start up and it installed samba4. The problems with
samba seem to be more my messing with it trying to get my win box
printer to work over a LAN than a real bug. For newbies like myself to
Unix line commands I humbly suggest that unless you have hours of spare
time leave it the experts and install only Ubuntu O/S with it's supplied
apps and attributes, we have spoiled by GUI's !

 I was successful with this workaround. Hopefully it will work for others
 and it will be something even a newbie can do without having to figure
 out what their Windows IP is. So until there is a fix, 

 Click Main MenuSystemAdministrationPrinting
 Click NewNetwork PrinterWindows Printer via SAMBA
 Hit the Browse button. SMB Browser box pops up. Note the names under
 the headings labeled Share and Comment. (So in my case, under Share was
 MSHOME and under Comment was DESKTOP1.)
 Cancel out of the SMB Browser window. Click in the entry box beside
 smb:// and enter those name in this form: ShareName/CommentName/
 Click Browse again. This time the list should be populated in the SMB
 Browser popup box (after a short wait) with the names of your shared
 printers. Choose the one you want and proceed with the installation.

 Binary package hint: smbclient

 I am using Ubuntu Jaunty 9.10 e/w all current updates.
 smbclient: Installed: 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3

 First let me state that the Windows Networked/Shared printer can be
 utilized just fine by two other Linux computers on mine - (1) a Dell 910
 Netbook running Ubuntu 8.04 and another computer running Xubuntu 8.10. I
 print just fine from these machines, but NOT Jaunty 9.04.

 There are a number of posts in GENERAL regarding Jaunty having various
 problems with Networked Printers, but none quite like my problem. I feel
 that this is actually a networking/SAMBA issue, so that is why I posted it
 here.

 When I try to add a printer attached to and shared on my Windows XP box
 with System-Administration-Printing, New-Network Printer-Windows Printer
 via SAMBA, Browse - I get right up to where clicking the little gray
 diamonds should reveal a networked printer and Poof the dialog crashes and
 is gone.

 Note: Squirrel is the hostname of my Windows XP box.

 If I browse Places-Network-Windows Network-MSHOME-SQUIRREL, the Windows
 shares are seen but without a printer. Instead there is a networked folder
 named Print$ which I suspect is the printer being incorrectly recognized. I
 have attached an image of what I see in the browse network window to my XP
 machine.

Yes the printer does have the hand and it was working fine under 8.04.. I
also do not have ability to do the workaround as my GUI does not show
windows printer via Sambaunder networked printers in the
systemadminprinting GUI menu.. ( why not??)
The person who did the workaround used the 64 bit 9.04 version and I am on
the 32 bit. Apparently the 64 bit does NOT have this bug as stated in the
forums.
Thanks for your kind thoughts and ideas but I am almost at the point of
buying a wireless accessible printer.. as I spent too much time already on
this.
I have one idea that I will try and to make the windows connected printer
not shared and then reboot and make it shared.. this could well be a windows
problem.. it would not suprise me!!
Thanks again

Ed, Thanks , I did some checking and I have two other winxp systems each

I tried to follow someone who wrote about modifying smb.conf and messed it
up so badly that I downloaded a default version from ubuntu 8.4 as can't
find a default version for 9.04. ( Iknow i should have made a copy first
before messing with it... sometimes I get too impatient )
Thanks for lead to the Samba set up I'll try and follow it carefully. I'll

Can I put on a 64 bit version if my system is 32 bit and a fw years old?

 While it could be a Windows problem, possibly something isn't right with
 your SAMBA setup. Even is SAMBA isn't installed, smbclient utilizes the
 samba.conf file. I recommend that you read the excellent posting at:

[Bug 368273] Re: Jaunty 9.04 Blind to XP's Shared Network Printer

I do not know where to post this so forgive me if it is in the wrong place. I 
had a almost perfect printer system on a winxp machine accessed by my Ubuntu 
8.4 when i upgraded to 9.04 I can not print. I can work with all the folders on 
my winxp machine from the Ubuntu machine. The printer seems to have become 
invisible to the Ubuntu machine.  I am a newbie and although technically Ok I 
wanted to use Ubuntu so I wouldn't have all the irritations of a winxp system.. 
now It seems I cannot escape ..
I do not have Samba connected printers showing in the Systemadminprinting 
dialog.. it does show other options none of which seem to apply, if I pick 
Networked printers then even with all the variations of IP for winxp ect I get 
nowhere. Is there a way to diagnose this bug ? If anyone can give me detailed 
info on doin g so I will be pleased to try. Maybe the bug can then be fixed for 
everyone.

9.04 seems to have a problem and cannot print to winxp although I could
with 8.4 . I can see all shared folders on winxp box but cannot see or
find the printer attached to winxp box. Also the GUI for selecting a
printer d0es not show Samba connected printers and I think it was
there for 8.4 . I have had no useful ideas , seems to affect others.

Thanks,  I tried the IP address did not make any difference cannot find
printer..The browse doesn't help either, it doesn't browse  it seems to
want me to enter the location.
My printer selection doesn't show Samba connected printers and I am pretty
sure 8.4 did..

 The Motorman - see post above - should cure your problem: Workaround
 found, but bug remains:
 I used my Windows box IP address instead of Browsing for the printer. This
 permitted me to go to the next steps and created a printer, although it
 didn't work, i.e. the test page didn't print. However, I then clicked a
 change URI button and it presented another opportunity to Browse. This time
 browsing found the Windows printer, correctly changed the path and then the
 test page printed. Screen snapshot is attached..

 Status in “samba” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete
 Status in “system-config-printer” source package in Ubuntu: Invalid

 Bug description:
 Binary package hint: smbclient

 I am using Ubuntu Jaunty 9.10 e/w all current updates.
 smbclient: Installed: 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3

 First let me state that the Windows Networked/Shared printer can be
 utilized just fine by two other Linux computers on mine - (1) a Dell 910
 Netbook running Ubuntu 8.04 and another computer running Xubuntu 8.10. I
 print just fine from these machines, but NOT Jaunty 9.04.

 There are a number of posts in GENERAL regarding Jaunty having various
 problems with Networked Printers, but none quite like my problem. I feel
 that this is actually a networking/SAMBA issue, so that is why I posted it
 here.

 When I try to add a printer attached to and shared on my Windows XP box
 with System-Administration-Printing, New-Network Printer-Windows Printer
 via SAMBA, Browse - I get right up to where clicking the little gray
 diamonds should reveal a networked printer and Poof the dialog crashes and
 is gone.

 Note: Squirrel is the hostname of my Windows XP box.

 If I browse Places-Network-Windows Network-MSHOME-SQUIRREL, the Windows
 shares are seen but without a printer. Instead there is a networked folder
 named Print$ which I suspect is the printer being incorrectly recognized. I
 have attached an image of what I see in the browse network window to my XP
 machine.
