SAMBA not working - HDMU 11592 Spark7162 - Amiko ALien2

[ibero96]

SAMBA not working on HDMU 11592 (at least - may not work on others) Spark7162 for Amiko Alien2 - from the log;

Anyone else have this problem and/or have a fix?

Nobody else trying to use SAMBA on Alien/Alien2? Can't believe no one else has seen this!

As an aside SAMBA works fine on the PKT Hyperion V2 image (haven't tried V3 yet) so clearly it's some sort of issue with the HDMU image or the plugin version on the HDMU server.

Any information on how to fix this (if it's fixable) gratefully received

So - installed HDMU_11759_E2_spark7162_211_git_5570 and still no working SAMBA on Alien-8900 or Alien2 - same problem as documented above. I assume this must work on other HDMU SH4 based systems? Anyone any ideas on how to fix this for the Amiko boxes???

You have to install server 3.0 from network plugins, and then turn it in: Settings / System / Network to samba works.

[ibero96]

Well as the logs above show that's exactly what's been done - but as you can also see there is a problem with the binaries because they can't detect the network interface.......

The PKT Hyperion images do have a working SAMBA so I can only assume that there is an issue with the HDMU image (for the Amiko aliens at least) ..... I suppose I can try and find the source and compile it myself -.....

Change this in your global SAMBA conf:

interfaces = eth0

to this:

interfaces = 192.168.2.105

Restart Samba... should work then...

[ibero96]

Thanks for the idea - but already tried that and same problem - looks like could be a compile time problem or missing library...... the nfs server part of this package (server 3.0 from the plugins server) works properly....

Not a show stopper but would be nice to get this to work - at the moment I have to export /hdd/movie via nfs, mount it on a Linux server and then share it from there to the Windows network.

Then try:

interfaces = 192.168.2.105/24

[ibero96]

Bingo - it works!

Thanks for the help, really appreciate your time and patience helping out here. Thanks again....
