[LIVE] Another SAMBA thread, working - but not enough

calmdown · 2010-01-05 18:32

Ok, everything is actually working fine here, when i do a reboot of the system i i have no problems accessing my media that is served via a smb share.

I can however not access xbmclive from my windows computer, to achieve that i have to manually start/restart samba

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

or

sudo /etc/init.d/samba start

after some googling it seems like I'm not the only one having problems with samba + autostart.

Tried to remove current boot time and such by

Code:

sudo update-rc.d -f samba remove

then adding new delayed runlevels

Code:

sudo update-rc.d samba start 40 2 3 4 5 . stop 19 0 1 6 .

Well, since you are reading a thread about this, it didn't work.

I'm now completely lost as of what to do.. probably it's not hard at all to accomplish, but in most threads I've read theres always some arrogant kid that expects everyone to know everything instantly.

I've come a long way in understanding the basics of linux but that is far from enough to even troubleshoot the simplest of problems sometimes.

Please shed some light, I'm sore in my eyes from all googling Smile
