Unable to connect network drive SAMBA Share

I'm not sure I understand...
You're trying to connect from an Intrepid client to a network share on a Freecom NAS.

The logs you're showing seem to come from a Samba/Winbind *server*. Are those logs from the Freecom NAS or from the Ubuntu client ? If the logs come from the Ubuntu client, why are you running a winbind server on it ?

Could you give me the output of the following command:
dpkg-query -W -f '${Status} ${Source} ${Package} ${Version}\n' | grep samba

If winbind appears installed and there is no reason why you run a winbind server on your client (if you don't know what it is, you probably don't need it), try "sudo apt-get remove winbind" and see if you still get these errors in your log. That doesn't mean your problem will be solved, but maybe we can remove the error message from the equation.

Thanks in advance

hello,
The log comes from the client, one of my computers, I am not sure that I can get something from my NAS...

here is the result of the query :

install ok installed samba libpam-smbpass 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.3
install ok installed samba libsmbclient 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.3
install ok installed samba libwbclient0 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.3
install ok installed samba 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.3
install ok installed samba samba-common 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.3
install ok installed samba samba-tools 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.3
install ok installed samba smbclient 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.3
install ok installed samba smbfs 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.3
install ok installed system-config-samba 1.2.63-0ubuntu4
install ok installed samba winbind 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.3

I have removed windbind, it seams it does not resovled my problem, I reboot and I retry

Hello I just rebooted without winbind, does not really change anything.
Can you give me commands to execute or logs to send you for helping comprehension ?

Once winbind is removed you should not get the idmap errors in your logs anymore. Those were related to a half-configured winbind server on your Ubuntu client. However your problem is not solved yet, we just removed noise.

What command or action are you doing to access your Samba share ? Are you using nautilus ? Using a cifs/smbfs mount command or /etc/fstab ? Using smbclient ? How does it "crash" ? Any error ?

Hello,
Usually I use only Nautilus to connect to my NAS.
I did not try anything by command-line.
The symptoms are simple to explain :
I explore my smb shares with nautilus, open the icon of my NAS, select one
of the shares I created in my Freecom Web-based interface and after some
times Nautilus returns to my home directory.
I shouldn't be able to make experiments before 29th of december, as I am not
home. So if you have any idea to give me before I will register it and try
it ASAP.

Many Thanks,
LBT

hello,
as I was exploring my system I found this in /var/log/syslog :

Jan 5 10:30:48 Ubuntu-lx-dell kernel: [69195.916576] gvfsd-smb[7989]: segfault at 0 ip b7a082c3 sp b747bc9c error 4 in libc-2.8.90.so[b7991000+158000]

I get the same in /var/log/messages :

and in /var/log/kern.log :

Let us know if purging winbind removed the idmap errors.
The rest of this bug looks a lot like bug 264943, could you try the PPA release posted there (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/264943/comments/89)

Hello,
as the log file does not exist anymore we can see that purging winbind
removed the idmap errors.

For samba_3.2.3-1ubuntu3.5~ppa1 in your PPA, is there a procedure to install
this whithout uninstalling ubuntu-desktop ?
I tried to install your .deb files but as
samba-common_3.2.3-1ubuntu3.5~ppa1_i386 broke my dependencies I had to
reinstall the standard version.
I can't install samba_3.2.3-1ubuntu3.5~ppa1_i386 without installing your
version of samba-common.

I am blocked by my inexperiency of installing non standard versions ...

Regards,
LBT

The idea is to enable the PPA as a valid source of packages and run a regular upgrade.
I'd not recommend it if this is not a test environment. Better wait for the regular updated package in that case...

If you still accept to do it here is a quick recipe:
Add "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tcarrez/ubuntu intrepid main" at the end of your /etc/apt/sources.list
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
This will upgrade all your samba packages to samba_3.2.3-1ubuntu3.5~ppa1 (including samba-common).
The PPA package will be replaced when the regular 3.2.3-1ubuntu3.5 is released.

OK I «take the risk» for one of my computers, if it does not work I will
remove the line from my sources.

I will give you the result of this experiment.

I cross fingers, but it seems to work.

I will try this on my other computer to confirm the bug is corrected.

i was getting same error in intrepid x86

dmesg

then i added deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tcarrez/ubuntu intrepid main as a source repo, updated....

dmesg still shows an error but i can connect to my nas just fine now.

here's the error:

thanks for the fix...
