smbtree produces no output (Ubuntu 14.04)

Ubuntu 14.04 installed. Also installed samba, system-config-samba, samba-common-bin, samba-common, smbclient, nautilus-share, fusemb, winbind, and cifs-utils, among others.

I'm trying to get Samba to work. Right now I have machines running either Ubuntu 14.04 or Lubuntu 14.04, but will soon be adding a Windows box to the mix. I call my workgroup, "workgroup".

After installing all the packages listed above, I thought the first thing I should do is make sure all is in order. So, I ran testparm:

Code:

main1@system1:~$ testparm

    passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
    passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .

    comment = Printer Drivers
    path = /var/lib/samba/printers

[shared_stuff]
    path = /home/main1/shared_stuff
    read only = No


I then ran smbtree, expecting to see the share "shared_stuff" in the output, but instead get nothing for the output:

Code:

main1@system1:~$ smbtree
Enter main1's password:
main1@system1:~$

I have looked all over the internet for any posting by an earthling regarding no output for smbtree, but I cannot figure out what is wrong. Any help will be greatly appreciated.


I also ran smbtree -d3:

Code:

main1@system1:~$ smbtree -d3

Wifi, Bluetooth neither wired ethernet aren't working on my Dell Inspiron-7420

Desperate for Help.
Hello all.
I installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS a month back by the side of windows 8. All was good until a week ago when I was trying to shut down my computer via linux; it froze. So I forcefully shut it down by pressing the power button for a lengthy time. The next day when I turned on my computer ubuntu was not detecting any wireless connection. Bluetooth was there though. I tried fixing the problem by skimming through lots of blogs but I guess I made things even worse as now even bluetooth is gone. The kea on kea board that usually used to turn on and off wifi is no more functional. Strangely rest other keys are working normally.
Things in widows are good. There is no problem there at all with anything.
Please help as I totally novice to the world of Ubuntu. Through reading although I have learned a lot but still I don´t think that they are enough to get me out of this problem.

Hi!

I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my desktop. Additonal drivers says that's it's using the Broadcom proprietary drivers. Wifi is detected but the Bluetooth is not.
If someone could help me with my current problem, I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you!

[SOLVED] 14.04: Configuring static IP

I'm attempting to set my server's ethernet port as static and could appreciate some help as I'm not getting anywhere. After applying the following changes I am left with no networking at all.

Here's what I've done.

1. Created /etc/init/network-manager.override with manual in it.

2. Adjusted the /etc/network/interfaces file so as to contain:
Code:

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

face eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0

broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

Upon rebooting, ifconfig shows no connection:

Code:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 48:5b:39:49:f4:dc 
          inet6 addr: fe80::4a5b:39ff:fe49:f4dc/64 Scope:Link

[ubuntu] Creating WiFi repeater using 2 USB WiFi adapters, possible?

$

Hello,

I have 3 computers that were connected to a WiFi hotspot using Netgear G64/N150 micro adapters. The WiFi hotspot has moved so that the micro adapters don't have the range to pull in the signal. I purchased a Netis WF2190 USB network adapter that uses antennas to pull in the signal just fine. However, I don't want to have to purchase 3 of those adapters, not to mention having 6 antennas on my desk. Can I set up my computer so that it can connect to the WiFi router using the WF2190 adapter and then establish a local WiFi hotspot using the Netgear micro adapter? I'm running Ubuntu 13.10. Interestingly, the WF2190 USB adapter shows up as RealTek 802.11n NIC, as if it was a PCI card.

Thanks in advance,

Jon.

[ubuntu] [Ubuntu 14.04] Wifi is disabled by hardware switch - Toshiba Satellite L55-B5288

Hello everyone,

I am fairly new to the world of Ubuntu and hastily installed Ubuntu over Windows 8 on my brand new laptop. I formatted the entire drive and now do not have the ability to revert back to windows 8.
The problem that I am facing is for the wifi. It will not turn on.

Rfkill list all list the wifi as hard blocked, tried rfkill unblock all without any luck as well.

I found some other answers where the person went into suspend mode, and suddenly the wifi would appear, but that did not work as well.
The computer battery is not really easily accessible (need a screwdriver) and I have not tried that yet.

I am really not sure what to do, and if I can avoid to open the computer without any reason (the manual says the battery is not accessible to the user), it would be great.

Thanks in advance for your inputs!

Can't connect to wired ethernet on Ubuntu 14.04.1

Hello,

I'm having some problems connecting to the Internet from my Ubuntu 14.04.1 install. I've turned off Wi-Fi just to see if I can get a wired connection going. So far the connection attempts to the wired Internet keep failing, resulting in the message "Disconnected - you are now offline" appearing.

I've seen a lot of these types of request for help in the forums, so I was hoping someone could help me step through it. The most recent post I saw asked for output from some commands, so I'll post them here in hopes of getting the troubleshooting started:

I have an AppleTV that I run Ubuntu server on. I use ndiswrapper to connect to wireless networks. I can connect to networks, but here at college we need to authenticate with a username and password. I can't seem to make that work as I really only know how to work with a pass phrase. How do I connect?

[SOLVED] Allow incoming connection from a Subnet (ufw)

$

Hi,

I want to open a port to this specific subnet 172.16.0.0/24.

I read the community doc.

This is the command to allow incoming connections from a subnet

Quote:

Allow by Subnet

You may use a net mask :
sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24
But seems like the above ^^ command will open all ports to that subnet. I want to open only a single port.

I tried this but didn't work

Code:

sudo ufw allow from 172.16.0.0/24 any <port>
ERROR: Wrong number of arguments

What is right command ?

My wifi connection is really slow and unstable. With cable ethernet connection I do not have problems. I have read other similar post on this forum but I am not able to find the solution to my problem. I try the following solutions:

sudo rmmod iwlwif
sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
and
sudo gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf

In here, look for the following line:

hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

If you find this file, replace it with the following line:

hosts: files dns

Save it, close it, restart your computer.
Somebody can help me to found solution to my problem?

[lubuntu] Intel Advanced N Wifi Link 6200 Really Slow on Lubuntu 14.04

$

Hi all

I just got an Intel Advanced N Wifi Link 6200 network card (For a normal pc btw), but the internet speed is really slow on Lubuntu 14.04.
The fastest it goes is 54Mb/s (Which I guess is just G instead of N) and when refreshing/loading a page it just drops to 6Mb/S or just drops completely.
Router is standing 3 meters away.

My router should be an N enabled (CBN CH6643E) (Some router you get with my "local" Internet Provider.)

I tried some things on from this link but it doesn't seem to be doing anything here.

Router Security Settings:
5Ghz security protocol: WPA 2 PSK (Otherwise I can pick: WEP/WPA PSK or WPA/WPA 2 PSK
WPA Encryption: AES
No WPS
No Mac-Filtering
Router also says my pc is connected on the 2.4Ghz.

Help would be much appreciated!

How to query DHCP options

$

Hi,
I have about 300 Ubuntu (14.04) workstations set to DHCP and running a custom application that processes data retrieved from a camera and sends it to a server. I don't want to hard-code the server address on all of those workstations, so I was hoping I could set that address using a DHCP option and then have the application retrieve that option so that it knows the server address. I don't mind parsing through config files for the information (if available), I just was looking for some guidance on how to accomplish this, if it's even possible.

Thanks!

Trying to use juniper network connect for vpn

Hi guys,

I'm trying to use network connect to set up a vpn connection to my university. THey tech support there say they do not support linux. Im trying to use the command line ncsvc tool to set up the vpn. So far, what I have done is download the "ncLinuxapp.jar" from the vpn server. Unzipped it to ~/.juniper_networks/network_connect. I downloaded the libraries "libc6-i386 lib32z1 lib32nss-mdns", used "getx509certificate.sh" to get the certificate. I then do
Code:

./ncsvc -h sslvpn.uc.edu -u username -f sslvpn.uc.edu.der
The output is
Code:

nikhil@deep-blue:~/.juniper_networks/network_connect$ ./ncsvc -h sslvpn.uc.edu -u gohilnn -f sslvpn.uc.edu.der
Password:
Connecting to sslvpn.uc.edu : 443
nikhil@deep-blue:~/.juniper_networks/network_connect$

Still, It doesnt seem to be connected to my university, as I cant access on campus only features. "route -n" gives me
Code:

nikhil@deep-blue:~/.juniper_networks/network_connect$ route -n

Lenovo G50-45 Wireless Driver connects and disconnects loop

$

I have a Lenovo G50-45, and ever since I've installed Ubuntu on it it's been crazy trying to get the WiFi to connect and stay connected.

Whenever I log onto the WiFi at my university it will stay working for about a half hour, then the browser pages won't load and it says connection lost even though it's still connected.
And whenever I try to get back on the WiFi it will flash until it says it's disconnected and loops like that continuously. More often than not I have to reboot my machine to get it to work again.

I'm aware of the commands that show the information for the WiFi, but I have no idea how to interpret the output for it.
