Hey guys, i installed samba on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine (sudo apt-get install samba) and it didnt create any config files. There is no /etc/samba or /usr/local/samba. I dont realy know what to do.... The samba server fails to start and i cant connect to the machine over my network. Anyone know what i should do? I tried purging / reinstalling (apt-get and aptitude), with no success. -- Lep pozdrav, Miha Krajnc.
I'm not an expert in samba, I just joined the mailing list, but if I recall about ubuntu correctly, the package manage will report some errors if files fail to install correctly, for example /etc/samba/smb.conf. You might have better luck asking asking on ubuntu forums, since it sounds like a failure of aptitude, which is basically unrelated to samba.

What messages do you get when you do "aptitude install samba" (after purging it, of course)? What happens if you do "/etc/init.d/samba start"? Also, have you tried installing SWAT? I find it very useful for configuring servers.
You can check wahat files are included in the deb package with sudo dpkg -l samba maybe the config is in /etc/smb.conf or so. 2010/6/4 Gary Dale <garydale at rogers.com>> On 04/06/10 03:44 PM, Miha Krajnc wrote: > >> Hey guys, >> i installed samba on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine (sudo apt-get install samba) >> and it didnt create any config files.

I am using Ubuntu server. Here is what i get when installing samba with sudo aptitude install samba: LINK <http://stef.si/samba.txt> Also, if i do /etc/init.d/samba start, it puts out "sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found". No i have not installed swat yet, i first want to get just the samba part working. And dpkg -l samba puts this out: --------------------- sudo dpkg -l samba Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===================-===================-=====================================================ii samba 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubunt SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix -------------------- Any other ideas?

That somewhat worked David. I did it according to your instructions and now there is a /etc/samba dir with smb.conf. But /etc/init.d/samba still does not exist. /etc/init.d/smbd does how ever and when i try to start it it tells me that i should start with "start smbd" or "service start smbd" and when i do that it says: "start: Unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory". Any more ideas? And thanks for the help! 2010/6/4 Miha Krajnc <miha.krajnc.mb at gmail.com>> Hey guys, > i installed samba on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine (sudo apt-get install samba) > and it didnt create any config files.

Hmm, i installed dbus, and i could than start /stop smbd but still i couldnt
conenct to it. THan i remembered i had a simmilar problem once, and i
resolved it by installing the "samba4" package. I tried the same thing
now,
and i can connect to the server. But starting samba4 gives out these errors:
* Starting Samba 4 daemon samba

Anyone know what this means?

But starting samba4 gives out these errors: > > ?* Starting Samba 4 daemon sambaThe Ubuntu samba4 package is still experimental. You should not install it unless you know what you are doing. The description for the Ubuntu samba4 package on 10.04 contains this paragraph: These packages contain snapshot versions of Samba 4, the next-generation version of Samba. These should be considered _experimental_, and should not be used in production. In particular, no guarantees are made with regard to upgrades between versions. -- Michael Wood <esiotrot at gmail.com>
