search for: spotlight

I'm currently using the standard Samba 4.5.8 on Debian 9.1, but would like to have spotlight support for Mac users. As far as I can tell, the standard package isn't compiled with spotlight support, so I will need to compile it myself. Is there an easy way to know what the configure string was that was used to compile the packaged version? I simply want to add the --enable-spotlight fl...

Hi all, I have a setup that I'm trying to configure spotlight on samba to work with Apples OSX. In the samba wiki it says to use ./configure --enable-spotlight However that function actually isn't in the current production samba version nor is it in the 4.2rc version so far as I can tell. Id love some pointers as to how to get samba working with spotli...

Hai, I have/can recreate a build with this enable, but these would not make it into my repo. (yet) This is because i can not test the spotlight/tracker ( and/or TimeMachine ) settings. So.. There is the link with samba 4.6.7 builded for debian Jessie with spotlight enabled. Not signed, only amd64 arch. https://downloads.van-belle.nl/samba4/samba-spotlight-enabled.tar.gz Included : samba_4.6.7+dfsg.orig.tar.gz source debian buster. deb...

Hi, I know that might be the wrong list to ask this but I´m really running out of Ideas and knowledge. Help or any Ideas would really be appreciated I try to get spotlight search running on a Samba Share running on Ubuntu 18.04 following the Howto on Samba.org. ( <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Spotlight> https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Spotlight ) My last Problem seems to be that the libtracker-miner-2.0-dev Package, as far as I understand does not bring...

Hi Ralph, Thanks for your reply ... and for developing the Spotlight Module You made me go "slowly" through the log and you were right ... I missed to change the path in system-tracker-extract.service system-tracker-store.service in Ubuntu it must be /usr/lib/tracker/ and not /usr/libexec/tracker as given in the preconfigured files ... Maybe a Hint i...

Samba 4.12 release notes <https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.12.0.html> mention "New Spotlight backend for Elasticsearch" and specify some new parameters for smb.conf, but there appear to be zero guides or further instructions for getting this to work. I'm not even clear how filesystem indexing is supposed to work. ElasticSearch appears to be simply a searchable database system tha...

Hi! I am on Ubuntu 20.04 with the vendor provided Samba 4.15.13 packages. My smb.conf is at the end of the email. I have Gnome Tracker set up and working (from the command prompt on the server, tracker search keyword, is working) as per https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Spotlight_with_Gnome_Tracker_Backend However, from the macOS workstation side, Spotlight still does not appear to be working (i.e. when you type anything in the Finder search box, it just shows a blank folder/results, instead of the spinning wheel "Searching..." and showing results. Is there anyt...

When comparing to native macOS Spotlight searches, the Samba & elasticsearch combo is much slower, at least for me. Samba takes minutes to return a few hundred results, while native macOS returns thousands of results in a few seconds. This is remotely over a mobile connection, LAN is probably better. Is this due to the missing Spotli...

Hi, I was wondering if there was a logging category for which I can increase the verbosity for spotlight? I am trying to set up Samba 4 with Gnome Tracker as the backend, and I followed the Samba wiki ( https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Spotlight_with_Gnome_Tracker_Backend ). The tracker backend is working, but spotlight itself still isn't working on workstations (trying to search on a shared folde...

So I have two issues. 1) Using Samba 4.19.2 with spotlight and elasticsearch 8.10.3 doesn?t work.

There is a bug where when...

Hi, Is anyone using Spotlight with Elasticsearch in production and what kind of tweaking have you had to do? Certain search types seem to work out of the box, but others not. Perhaps fscrawler and Elasticsearch need some customization that the wiki doesn?t mention. There also seems to be a difference in using the main search bo...

Hai, Selfcompiles samba?

Before doing anything stupid: + has anyone made quicklook work with markdown files (extension '.markdown')? + has anyone made spotlight plugin that index markdown files (same extension)? jem -- Jan Erik Mostr?m, www.mostrom.pp.se

Hi, I finally found out why I?ve had trouble getting Spotlight searches working well with the latest installation I?m working on. It looks like searches won?t work if there are any accented characters in the share name. In this case it is the ? character. Running mount in macOS shows it like this: //user at server.address/Share_with_the_O%CC%88_character on /...

...two to diagnose and fix. Hopefully someone comes around and funds this fix. Can you please file a bugreport to we can track this and more folks become aware of this? -slow On 7/9/24 11:40 AM, Perttu Aaltonen via samba wrote: > Hi, > > I finally found out why I?ve had trouble getting Spotlight searches > working well with the latest installation I?m working on.
