Problems with Gnome and Samba after Yum...

[Karol Pluciennik]

Hello,
After updating couple of packets with Yum I started to have real pain in 
the ass with Gnome. When I want to log out, reset or shutdown my 
computer, the screen just refreshes itself and that's it - I have to 
kill Gnome to shutdown my computer! That's one problem. The second is 
when I want to mount some Windows shares.

[root@troloo root]# smbclient -L 192.168.0.1 -U Administrator
Password:
Domain=[TROLOO] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790] Server=[Windows Server 
2003 5.2]

         Sharename       Type      Comment
         ---------       ----      -------
         E$              Disk      Default share
         IPC$            IPC       Remote IPC
         D$              Disk      Default share
         G               Disk
         ADMIN$          Disk      Remote Admin
         C$              Disk      Default share

[root@troloo root]# smbmount //192.168.0.1/D$ /mnt/net2 -o 
username=Administrator
Password:
[root@troloo root]#


The network works (it worked before...) but when I mount some share, say 
D$ (hidden one) I cannot list in any way the content of the directory! 
It worked pretty well before I updated system with Yum.

Can anyone give me a hint how to trace these problems? Where should I 
start checking? Help, please :)

Fedora Core 2, kernel 2.6.6 8k, Gnome 2.6

Karol,

As per the below posting to fedora-list, I am having the same issue on 
two different workstations.  I have recently upgraded them to FC2 and 
can mount SMB (Windows or Samba) shares but cannot 'ls' them.  The ls 
command just hangs, and Nautilus chokes big time.  Have you had any 
success fixing this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Exact same problem here - interested in causes/solutions. Otherwise, I'm 
sort of blindly hoping that this will work for me in FC3.

Try using a kernel version 2.6.7* for your samba problem. Though with
the gnome issue, I have no idea what the problem is. My core 2 machine
does not even see gnome there anymore...

Actually, I'm using a 2.6.7 kernel compiled from source.  Would there be 
any benefit to using a kernel supplied by Fedora?

On another note, after toying with this for a bit, it seems this problem 
is intermittent.  After first installing FC2 I had no problem mounting 
and browsing an XP Pro share.  The issue started happening when I tried 
to browse a true Samba share (running on FC1, samba-3.0.4-1).  However, 
I have been able to reboot and successfully use the share.  Rebooting is 
becoming a frequent process because Nautilus dies miserably and I have 
not figured out how to restart it properly.

I will try a Fedora supplied kernel and see if I have any luck.


Thanks,
