A few months back, I wrote about my trials and tribulations with Samba in KDE + Feisty, but, now that I had a fresh install of Gutsy to play with, I tested the sharing applet once again. Once again, however, it failed out of the box, although I must say that it was not as fucking bad as the last time.
In the KDE sharing applet, I added the folder name and set it to be writeable. I restarted Samba (which hadn't been done :S) and tried to access the share. However, while I could see the share listed, navigating into it came up with a message The file or folder smb://blah/blah does not exist. Not too promising.
Google, as always, was my friend. I was told that this issue was being caused by the line msdfs proxy = no. Commenting this out in /etc/samba/smb.conf and restarting the Samba service did the trick.
Also, the smb.conf issues in my earlier thread seem to have been cleaned up in whichever version of KDE (3.5.8?) that Gutsy is using. Praise the Lawd!
Hope this helps.

Hmm ok, your captcha system sucks. I have to input the xth word each time I submit the form. So I have to enter the text once to prove I'm a human, then submit the form for preview. Then get told my homepage address wasn't correct so I fix it and look, I have to prove I'm a human again by entering the capatcha again. And then after previewing I have to do it again. Good grief. And I suppose now I've removed my name and made myself anonymous I'll have to preview it again. Sigh... Oh and I have to type the effing captcha in and can't copy and paste due to some javascript or whatever preventing me from doing it. Bigger sigh...
Oh you're fucking kidding me. Now I get told the captcha is spelt incorrectly. It's no wonder. How about putting some real words in instead of these random characters.
You're welcome:) The captcha
You're welcome:) The captcha issue should be fixed now - visitors should only need to prove that they're human on the first form they encounter. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!
thank you!
this was the last step in a loooong journey to get my employer's server ready. it's been weeks of effort and delays, thinking i had everything figured out, then more complications with centos that showed how amateurish i am (didn't activate the smb service :-p).
i was afraid i'd blow yet another day in the kind atmosphere at lewkowich geotechnical engineering, here in nanaimo, bc canada.
the circle is complete, for now. i have many other things to deal with as a (very new) systems administrator.
thanks for saving my job!
