samba - Apr 2005 - nvidia service and profiles not updating

Hi,

I am new to the list so please excuse if this has come up recently.

I can reliably reproduce the problem with having the nvidia service 
enabled on startup, which comes with their drivers as default active,
stops my machines from having access to their roaming profiles.

The problem is described here:
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2004-April/084023.html

This is a very recent driver (75.90) and Windows XP with SP2.
Samba is Redhat EL4 version 3.0.10 with domain logons enabled.

Evrerything works fine if the service is disabled at startup so
I omit my smb.conf.

Question is, is there a solution to have this service enabled?

Thanks
Rainer

Hi,

I'm trying to mount the samba shares into my SuSE 9.2 workstation, with 
no luck. Our server is in production, so there's nothing wrong in our 
samba server. But I can't mount my shares under KDE.

Doing it with mount -t smbfs gives me a lot of Time Out errors, and the 
mount is unable to show any files. Seems that the smbfs module is broken 
in the 2.6.8 kernel. I don't know if this is a kernel problem or SuSE 
problem.

Mounting with CIFS works flawlessly in console. But Konqueror hangs 
solid when accessing the mounted directory. I've tested it with KDE 3.3 
and KDE 3.4 and same problem. But using the smb:// functionality under 
konqueror works fine. The problem with this approach is that KDE don't 
let me mount (as far I know) these shares under my filesystem, and a lot 
of apps don't like accessing docs in this way. I must copy the files, 
work locally and return them in the samba server.

Really I'm clueless with this issue. Anybody has succeeded mounting 
samba shares under SuSE 9.2 and KDE 3.x?

Thanks

Hi,

this is solved.
It seems only some drivers show this behaviour.
I have tried the latest version 77.13 (beta) and the profile is updated
alright. Hope Nvidia will not invent this bug anymore.
