Hi. I have 2 PC's connected with 1GBit NIC's. When I transfer a file from my File-Server(Redhat9.0, 256 SD-RAM, 300MHz PII, RTL8169 NIC, 2x Western Digital WD200JB RAID 0) to my Windows-PC(AMD Athlon XP 1800+, 1024 MB DDR-RAM, WINXP PRO, RTL8169 NIC, 2x Western Digital WD080JB RAID 0) with Samba, i get Speeds around 8-9MB/sec. I think this is too low for an GBit Network, so i tested the

Hello, i'm using samba 2.2.7 for printing with windows clients to cups. All users always have to press F5 to refresh the job list. Is this by design or a configuration error? Holger

I have seen screenshots of CorelDRAW X3 running in Wine, but have no idea, how to get this working. How do I convert normal CD version into "portable"? I'd really love to get rid of VirtualBox running WinXP just for CorelDRAW. I would even pay for a complete, step-by-step instructions that will result in CorelDRAW X3 running properly in Wine. My setup: Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty 64-bit,

My problem appears to be too simple to be addressed in the documentation, being a linux-to-linux problem. This is a mixed home lan, but the majority of file sharing is done between three linux boxes. All three have a public directory, but the one on box1 is mainly used for file sharing. All of this worked well with our old Samba 2 setup, but has now gone to pieces. Two of the boxes are

System: Linux kernel 2.6.15 Ubuntu dapper R version 2.5.1 ESS 5.2.11 on Emacs 21.4.1 ------------------------- Colleagues Having read the posts on producing perfect graphs in R, or using inkscape to edit R graphics output, I have a related question. Lately I am publishing in a journal that is very picky about their graphics formats. It is more efficient for me to get the final picky details

Hi, I am well aware that the charset problem has been discussed many times over. But after two days of googling and testing, I did not make any progress. I am mounting Windows XP Pro shares with french filenames on a Linux. The linux is a 2.4.27 kernel with the following settings: CONFIG_SMB_FS=y CONFIG_SMB_NLS_DEFAULT=y CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE="UTF8" CONFIG_SMB_NLS=y CONFIG_NLS=y

Hello Wine experts. I am trying to get CorelDraw 7.0 to work under wine, and I have successfully installed the program, but when I attempt to run it, I get the following dialogue error message: Key: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Corel\CORELDRAW\7.0" Value: "ConfigDir" not found in the Registry. Along with this error message, comes the exciting output displayed below, that is

Dear all, When saving a plot with the dev2bitmap command: name <- c("test.jpeg") dev2bitmap(name,type="jpeg",height=8,width=13,res=400) Everything seems to be ok... After importing this picture in CORELDRAW (for a poster A0) format the resolution and colors are not optimal. How can I save pictures (colors/resolution) optimally for import into CorelDraw for an

SAMBA 2.2.8A I am automounting a 6-in-1 smartmedia reader such as: /etc/auto..master /mnt/auto /etc/auto.misc --timeout=1 /etc/auto.misc carda -fstype=msdos,rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=000 :/dev/sda1 I am also making that a samba share: [card_a] comment = Removable Card Media path = /mnt/auto/carda browseable = yes public = no read only = no

Hello, I haven't found anything useful googling around so I decided to ask here. I have a Linux server running Samba on 100Mbit/s ethernet. If I connect to it using WinXP, mount some share and download files from it it reaches about 9MB/s transfer rate. Using FTP gives even higher transfer rates. BUT when I use linux to connect to (linux!) server, mount shares and download files then

I am using Samba for a file server and get a lag when accessing files across the network, I assume it is due to inactivity, because the first file I access takes the longest to access, and then other files I access immediatly after are much faster. If I do not access any files for a while I get the problem again. It all works well, but I would really like to get rid of this Lag when opening a

Its February 6, 2012. I just downloaded all the updates to Ubuntu 11.10 64bit. I think the updates just came out today. It was a bigger package of updates than the others I have installed in the past. I do not know what they did but whatever it was, it fixed most of the problems in CorelDRAW 9. I gave it a rating of bronze, and that was being generous, just a few days ago. It seems as thou

Hello all, what is Excel doing while opening a file? There is no delay when opening the same file localy or on a windows 2000 server. But on the samba server it needs 10 seconds. But copying the same file (32K) has no delay at all. (With larger files things get worse, while coping a 60 MB file takes 8 seconds) Other mails mentioned recommended to disable oplocks, but this didn't change

Hi all,... ... currently I am trying to get hold of a strange error which is successfully keeping me from sleeping the last week. Basically, I am running a DebianGNU/Linux based machine with samba 3.0.0 as a backup server for an amount of Windows NT4 workstations. There is an old backup "framework" around here, basically a collection of .bat files on the workstations which at

I can't use a ? (forward tick, accent acute) in a filename on a samba share. Is this an error or intention? If i copy a file with ? to the samba share the result will be, the tick will be converted to a capital Z with back and forward tick on it and the rest of the filename is dropped. samba 3.01rc1 [global] dos charset = CP850 unix charset = ISO8859-15 display charset = LOCALE [raid2]

Hi list! Is it possible to prevent Samba from modifying the changed time stamp? Now the time stamp is reset every time a file is accessed, even if there are no changes to it. I would just like it to show when the file was written to or changed, not accessed! Thanks!

Hello, My problem is the following : I have a Debian (testing distribution) on which I used to have Samba server v3.0.2a it worked perfectly with my other machine which is running Windows 2000. I recently made a global packages update on my Debian machine, which apparently changed the Samba server to 3.0.7 Since then, I have been absolutely unable to retrieve files from the debian server to the

Hello All, About 2 weeks ago I upgraded from debian woody to sarge. This included an upgrade from Samba2.2 -> Samba3.0. However since the upgrade I have problems using my Samba server from my XP (home) Laptop. The symptoms are basically "explorer" freezeing on most network browseing type actions. Or if I open a file (eg a movie). I'm pretty confident that I don't have a
