    Samba is not working on 10.04

    I dont know what happened but samba stopped working and now I cant get it up again.

    I dont know what to do, when I try to start it says:
    Code:
    $ sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
    sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found

    I had that for awhile too. I installed latest updates which included samba and haven't had the problem again.

    Re: Samba is not working on 10.04

    samba is still in the /etc/init.d/ directory, but it's listed as smbd and nmbd.

    To restart samba, you would use this:

    Code:
    sudo service smbd restart; sudo service nmbd restart
    To check the status you can use this:

    Code:
    sudo service smbd status
    To see if it's running.

    Thanks a lot, now I can 'see' it from machines with windows.

    Question: how/were do I set it to do this on boot?

    It should start automatically after bootup.

    Reboot and run that status command to see if it's running.

    Ok, thanks, but what status command would be that? (I am kind a newbie on this)

    Never upgrade your working system to the newest release without thorough testing on the actual hardware you will be running it on.
    Never perform a system update in a live session
    Installed Ubuntu Touch 1.0 on my Nexus 7. And loving it!

    Look, I don't know how many people have to tell you this but what you are talking about is "Personal File Sharing."

    Personal File Sharing has nothing to do with Samba.

    And BTW those two packages are incorrect for Personal File Sharing. So if you going to give bad information at least get the required dependencies correct. Go into synaptic , search for gnome-user-share, and read the description, and dependencies - no mention of Samba.

    Huh? All the dependencies for Samba are installed when you install it.

    EDIT: Thanks Morbius1.
