samba refuses to show shares

[Nathanel Titane]

Binary package hint: samba

For some reason my samba shares refuse to show up on my network eversince the latest maverick updates.
The testparm command outputs these strings and include my smb.conf parameters, which have never failed me so far, until now...

LIke you can see from testparm:

ERROR: state directory /var/lib/samba does not exist
ERROR: cache directory /var/cache/samba does not exist

Do you have those two directories in your system?

Can you upload your smb.conf too.

[Nathanel Titane (nathanel.titane)]

/var/lib/samba and /var/cache/samba exist and are populated

here is my smb.conf:

Thank you. Can you also upload content of your /var/log/samba -folder.

I tried this on 10.10 with your smb.conf and it is working perfectly.

[Nathanel Titane (nathanel.titane)]

I know my smb.conf works fine.. I've been using the same one for a year and
a half now...

here's the tar of var/log/samba

I should also add the fact that the upstart service nmbd fails to load on
system startup... when called amnually it fails to load at times, and some
other times it loads...

[Nathanel Titane (nathanel.titane)]

Here's the deal, I just called nmbd with sudo service nmbd start and it
loaded. I was able to see my machine on nautilus' network icon.

After a reboot, I go to /var/run/samba and the only active PID services are
smbd and winbindd.... nmbd isn't up..

what can I do about it?

Thank you for logs. I can see in logs errors that socket is in use:

smbd_open_once_socket: open_socket_in: Address already in use

Are you able to run smbclient -L //localhost -U someuserwithsambapasswd or do you get error message like:

Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)

[Nathanel Titane (nathanel.titane)]

Here's the term ouput for it...

nathanel@Mercury:~$ smbclient -L //localhost -U nathanel
Enter nathanel's password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

One other thing, I have a fresh install on my other computer which is a
laptop, I run a custom script to drag all packages i need to install after
format. One of them is samba, but it does not drag samba-common-bin with
it.. could it be part of the problem?

on the laptop /var/lib/*samba, /var/cache/samba and /var/run/samba are all
populated with the expected files, except again for nmbd.pid in run

ON the other hand, I've just checked my youger brother's laptop and it has
no issue viewing shares and connecting to //localhost with user
identification.

Ok! So it's working perfectly. You could also try smbclient -U nathanel //localhost/nathanel and see that you can open share. If you are not able to open shares from other computers check your firewall settings.

[Nathanel Titane (nathanel.titane)]

but the point is that it does not not start automatically like it used to..
I have to call nmbd manually on every startup... there has to be something
preventing it form working.. no?

[Nathanel Titane (nathanel.titane)]

I have never had to change my firewall settings for the shares to show and
be accessed properly, I don<t understand why all of a sudden it comes to
that.. is there any other way to see why the stupid service isn't up and
running and permitting access on other machines?

Yes, that's a regression... it is due to the order in which directories are created at startup. There's an existing bug report about it, I don't recall the number.

So far nothing has been done to correct the regression... when can we expect
someone to get serious about this and stick a critical tag on it.. some of
us depend on this type of network sharing system to do what we do..

it's a shame such regressions are permitted to surface.
