cannot mount NetWare (ipx) server

[staho]

ncpmount does not work with “ncpfs” 2.2.6-6.
The workaround is to downgrade ncpfs to 2.2.6-4 (intrepid). No need to touch “libpam-ncp”, “libncp” nor “ipx” packages.

Hi!

I use ncpfs 2.2.6-6 on Jaunty beta.
It was working until yesterday. Now I can't mount or print on netware server

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

We do not need any further confirmations of this bug at this point. Has anyone contacted upstream about this? I can't see a big difference between the last confirmed working version and this version, other than the toolchain to compile it has changed.

[helix84 (helix84)]

Since this is a regression, it should be fixed quickly but if you need to have this working now, here's a workaround (thanks to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ncpfs/+bug/140464/comments/29 ):

add following text to /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: ncpfs
Pin: version 2.2.6-4*
Pin-Priority: 1000

# remove ncpfs
sudo apt-get remove ncpfs
# install ncpfs from intrepid (last working version)
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/ncpfs/ncpfs_2.2.6-4ubuntu3_i386.deb

Don't forget to subscribe to this bug and when it's resolved remove the pin and upgrade.

Please, assign this bug and fix it

[sanktnelson (launchpad-maibaums)]

one more confirmed...

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

I do not need any more confirmations. It is obviously already confirmed.

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

It should be noted that this package is 100% unusable without my debdiff. This is due to byte ordering of the packets because the version of GCC Jaunty shipped with would not deal with the packed attribute as it did previously.

[Chris Iarocci (iarocci)]

Excuse my ignorance, but should we expect to see something in Synaptic that incorporates this fix, like version 2.2.6-7?

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

It will only go into Jaunty if there is an SRU, and I am not sure I understand the process fully to push that through.

I just put this on my ppa, so you should be able to safely grab the NCPFS package from it:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/sharms/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/sharms/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

[Chris Iarocci (iarocci)]

Thank you for doing that, but I'm still lost. What do I do with that
information? I added them under third party depositories, but when
searching ncpfs nothing has changed.

[Holger Schletz (holger-schletz)]

I upgraded to the version in the ppa (2.2.6-6ubuntu1~ppa0) and still got the -330 error. Reverted to 2.2.6-4ubuntu3 (the last version that works on jaunty).

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

Can anyone test this on AMD64? That is what I am testing it on, and this command works perfect using the ppa I posted:

ncpmount -U sharms.HO.PLC -S SHARED_DRIVE -A dns-name-for-server -m testshare/

[Holger Schletz (holger-schletz)]

Sorry, I don't have a 64 Bit environment available. I tested the above command on 32 Bit and it works with 2.2.6-4ubuntu3. With 2.2.6-6ubuntu1~ppa0 I get exactly the same response as in comment #13.

[Sam (samuel-faulkner)]

Hi, I have 3 PCs :

one with AMD 64

other with Pentium 4 bi proc

and a Dell Centrino Duo

acces Novell was working with Hardy the last year. on the 3 PCs.
I have upgraded Hardy -> Intrepid and Intrepid -> Jaunty this month.

The PC with AMD 64 (jaunty 64) work fine and access my Novell server.

(don't work with Jaunty 32 bits on this AMD 64)

But with the two others PC (Intel bi-proc) I can't acces and I have the same error :

ndslib.c:1051: Invalid start: 1835008 00010000 00010000 00100006

However with wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/ncpfs/ncpfs_2.2.6-4ubuntu3_i386.deb
YES ! work very well !
Thanks Helix84

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

I will look into what needs to be done for this to fix 32-bit also.

Thanks I have uploaded the fix for jaunty. Please follow the SRU process found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates.

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

Can someone test this in Karmic using i386? Since karmic will use a different GCC, I believe it's possible it may work as GCC 4.3 had a lot of bugs.

I think we ended up being bit by this: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-01/msg01020.html

[Thos (1-launchpad-theparisis-com)]

Chuck,

Could you point me to where the fix is for Jaunty (9.04) 32-bit?

I followed the link for the Stable Release, but it appears that ncpfs (2.2.6-6ubuntu1) is only for Karmic. Unfortunately because of this bug I cannot access my Novell servers. Bummer.

Thanks,

Thomas

[maxdata (maxdata-email)]

I'm using ncpfs 2.2.6-3 in jaunty, an attachment is this version. Novell work's fine with this version.

[Thos (1-launchpad-theparisis-com)]

Chuck,

Thank you kindly...the ncpfs_2.2.6-3_i386.deb package that you linked to resolved the mounting issue, and I am now currently able to access the Novell servers.

Finally! That took care of my remaining issue I had in upgrading from 8.04. All is well now - at least for the moment.

I will be holding onto this package for a while, just in case.

Thomas

[Thos (1-launchpad-theparisis-com)]

Oops.

Thank you maxdata for providing the link to the ncpfs_2.2.6-3_i386.deb package. I just reread the thread and realized that it was not Chuck who provided the link, but you did - however I am glad he provided the posting that alerted me to a fix for the problem with mounting Novell servers as I had been checking this thread off and on for a while to see if the issue was resolved.

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

If you guys would actually read the bug report, it is already mentioned there is a working 32-bit version. The issue for anyone who wants to help with this is that the version that works uses GCC < 4.3 that shipped with Jaunty, and it has not worked with new compilers yet.

Please do not post anything about old .debs again, that belongs in forums, not over and over again in a bug report to fix the issue.

[Birgir Haraldsson (biggi-stefna)]

Just installed karmic alpha4 on an old machine and updated it fully.

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

Birgir that does help thank you.

I have tested on x86_64 bit Karmic, and it works. So GCC 4.4 does not fix any incompatibilities in the i386 build. I believe this still needs to be addressed by fixing the __packed__ structs and this is where our issue is happening.

[Hedgehog_57 (hedgehog57)]

Upgraded my 9.04 to 9.10.

Arch: Nothing changed. Issue is still here. After downgraded package to ncpfs_2.2.6-3_i386.deb i can connect to Novell server.

This issue was in 9.04. It is still there in 9.10. Why not to place old package in the new distribution if you cannot solve a problem in the new one?

[wooster (hampusr)]

Tested ncpfs_2.2.6-6ubuntu1_i386.deb, libncp_2.2.6-6ubuntu1_i386.deb
Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) i386.

If compiled with gcc-4.1, everything works fine, but with gcc-4.4 same problem. (Invalid start: 1835008 00010000 00010000 00100006)

[asdir (dirkroettgers)]

Just wanted to confirm that helix84 workaround still works in Karmic. No need to safe any protocol or config files even.
Still would be nice if I wouldn't have to apply it after every upgrade. :-S

[asdir (dirkroettgers)]

Hm, I was to quick to confirm helix's workaround: It works for accessing the server, but does not for printing services (or was it sth. else that is responsible for that?). Anyway, I cannot print anything useful...

[Andrew Daugherity (andrew-daugherity)]

Confirmed that ncpfs is indeed broken on karmic i386, but working on karmic amd64. The workaround of installing the old package does work, but obviously doesn't solve the underlying problem. Thus this bug should not be considered "fixed" until i386 is fixed as well.

[loki666 (loki-666)]

damn it, unbelievable, this bug is now known for 7 months and still not fixed...

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

I have stated this is a non-trivial bug, if you are a coder and can help, please download the source and contribute. If you are not, then you will just need to use the old package until this is solved.

[wooster (hampusr)]

Why not, until the problem is fixed, compile with an older version of gcc (see above) and put working binaries in the repos?

[Steven Harms (sharms)]

Can someone with i386 install this package and let me know if it works?

Version is 2.2.6-6ubuntu2 and ppa is ppa:sharms/ppa

This is ridiculous. I finally upgraded to 10.4 LTS, and this bug is still there! How can a well-known bug with a well-known solution that have both been known for several release cycles make it into an LTS release???

[Thos (1-launchpad-theparisis-com)]

I had been having this problem prior to 10.4, and had to use the backport to ncpfs 2.2.6-3 mentioned in various places.

However, I was able to unpin the ncpfs 2.2.6-3 package and just go with the plain-vanilla 10.4 installation when it came out. Am using 10.4 on a Dell Latitude D810 laptop, and on a Dell Optiplex GX270 desktop, and have not experienced any (serious) problems connecting to Netware servers and reading/writing to files.
