Public bug reported: Binary package hint: samba
I'm having trouble mounting two directories shared from a Windows ME computer on the local network. I can mount them fine from Debian Etch and Windows XP; in the past I've mounted them fine from Ubuntu B, D, G and H, from Slackware, from earlier versions of Debian and from Windows Server 2003. On a computer I recently upgraded to Jaunty, I have the following two lines in /etc/fstab (after editing in response to a message about "dmask" and "fmask" being deprecated): //PurpleComputer/DQFILES /purple/dqfiles cifs rw,auto,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770,gid=dq,noperm,credentials=/root/for-PurpleComputer.cred 0 3 //PurpleComputer/PROGRAMFILES /purple/programfiles cifs rw,auto,file_mode=0444,dir_mode=0555,noperm,credentials=/root/for-PurpleComputer.cred 0 2 The first share is shared from Windows ME as read-write with a share password; the second is shared as read-only with no password. "ping PurpleComputer" and "smbclient -L //PurpleComputer" both work fine. # mount /purple/programfiles mount error(2): No such file or directory Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) # mount /purple/dqfiles mount error(2): No such file or directory Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) # mount | grep /purple # apt-cache policy smbfs smbfs: Instalados: 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3.3 Candidato: 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3.3 Tabla de versiĆ³n: *** 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3.3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.7 0 500 http://security.ubuntu.com intrepid-security/main Packages On another computer I recently performed a fresh install of Intrepid. Mounting the same share also fails, but with a different error-message: $ sudo smbmount \\\\PurpleComputer\\DQFILES /purple/dqfiles/ -o uid=davidl,file_mask=0660 mount error: could not find target server. TCP name PurpleComputer/DQFILES not found No ip address specified and hostname not found I know this sounds like bug 235560, but I've checked /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/samba/smb.conf, and they seem to be appropriate. I am able to mount a SMB share shared by Debian Etch with Jaunty. ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Unable to mount shares from Windows ME after upgrade to Karmic + Unable to mount shares from Windows ME -- Unable to mount shares from Windows ME https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521397 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
