Hi LMDE users!
i have a LMDE installation workin with the Cinammon Desktop as default.
I have configured samba with the GADMIN-SAMBA App.
everything works nice but only after deactivation and reactivation of GADMIN-SAMBA. ( i mean pressing the second from the left button and the first from the left of GADMIN-SAMBA interface)
Is there a solution for this? meaning e.g. on a restart samba should work without to have to deactivate and re-activate.
many thanx for help in advance!

Re: samba works only after deactivation/activation
I would like to help you - truly I would - but I made myself a promise to never try to debug the utter mess that gadmin-samba creates ever again. Life is too short. There may be someone else who uses it here who can help you or you can try the Ubuntu forums.
Side note: I don't remember if gadmin-samba creates a backup of the default smb.conf for you but there is a copy of it here: /usr/share/samba/smb.conf
It does have one mistake in it though. It has "encrypt passwords = No" instead of "encrypt passwords = Yes". So you will have to make that change yourself if you want to go back to the default smb.conf that was originally installed.

Re: samba works only after deactivation/activation
EDIT: If it's just a services problem it may be that Debian is now experiencing what happened to Ubuntu a few years ago. The samba service ( specifically the nmbd part of samba ) is starting before the network is up. My workaround back then was to create a file:
With this content:
Make the file executable:
Anything in if-up.d will be executed only after the network is up.
But if it's something gadmin-samba is doing to you ........
Code: Select all
gksu gedit /etc/network/if-up.d/samba
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
service samba restart
Code: Select all
sudo chmod +x /etc/network/if-up.d/samba

Re: samba works only after deactivation/activation
thnax for the reply!
i did was altair4 wrote but it seems not to work for me.
even with typing the command:
sudo service samba restart
after a new boot
samba restarts but it is not possible to go in from another computer. Only starting GADMIN-SAMABA deactivating and reactivating the service solve this. i mean only starting the GADMIN-SAMBA does not work!!!
In my smb.conf on --> /etc/samba/smb.conf there is encrypted password = yes

Hi again!
after a small research...
in my bootup messages i see something strange so will output here the dmesg commands with grep eth0 and eth1:
it's very strange because my /etc/network/interfaces is:
why my eth0 is renamed to eth1 ? => [ 6.714116] udevd[421]: renamed network interface eth0 to eth1
after a small research...
in my bootup messages i see something strange so will output here the dmesg commands with grep eth0 and eth1:

Re: samba works only after deactivation/activation
Some help for my "renaming" of eth0 to eth1 ???
