[LIVE] Can't access Windows Shares

ssboisen · 2010-11-15 23:50

I just discovered that it seems like this won't work for new files that are added, that is, you will have to apply the security permissions again for new files - i really hope there's a proper fix for this soon!

Edit: Okay this problem is related to how the file is copied, it seems that sickbeard doesn't make windows apply security settings when it copies over the file, this is probably related to how python copies/moves files?

I managed to get this working on my Windows 7 64bit box simply by having Homegroup turned on and the right click each share, choose "share with" select "specific people" and then "add" and type "everyone".

Job done.

I am having this same issue on Windows XP PC after updating XBMC from 9.X to Dharma RC1. I have never installed, or used, Windows Live Essentials, or any of the discussed gaming-enabling software. All of my media is hosted on a linux-based NAS, which show up in windows "My Network Places," and they are attached to my XP-hosted XBMC over SMB shares. I have been using XBMC for about a year with no issue accessing these shares until update to Dharma RC1. So I am not sure what the fix would be for me, other than go back to 9.x.

Dharma RC1 just keeps asking me for my profile password....

I found out that this issue is related to a bug in Samba which handles access to windows shares in ubuntu (thanks to this thread), the bug have however been fixed since july of this year. Upgrading libsmbclient will fix the issue however the updated version of libsmbclient isn't available in the package manager and you have to do this to install the new version:

Code:

wget http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu//pool/main/s/samba/libsmbclient_3.5.6~dfsg-1ubuntu2_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i libsmbclient_3.5.6~dfsg-1ubuntu2_i386.deb

when it's done you need to reboot and it should work, it did for me.

This is the response. Do I need to update something else first? My linux skills are not the best...

did you do a sudo apt-get update
I have a clean xbmc RC2 install and i have no problems updating.
Tested shares work Smile

thx vssboisen

Well, I almost sure that i destroyed something now.

Did run a sudo apt-get update, then a sudo apt-get upgrade, but it said that i needed to go sudo apt-get -f install, so i did. Now i started over with update and upgrade.
It asked to create TVfrontend admin/pass, and if I wanted to keep the old samba-files, I said no.

So, after all the processes are finished, I tried the above mentioned method, with this result:

Code:

Selecting previously deselected package libsmbclient.

(Reading database ... 40896 files and directories currently installed.)

Unpacking libsmbclient (from libsmbclient_3.5.6~dfsg-1ubuntu2_i386.deb) ...

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libsmbclient:

 libsmbclient depends on libgssapi-krb5-2 (>= 1.7+dfsg); however:

  Package libgssapi-krb5-2 is not installed.

 libsmbclient depends on libkrb5-3 (>= 1.8+dfsg); however:

  Version of libkrb5-3 on system is 1.7dfsg~beta3-1ubuntu0.7.

dpkg: error processing libsmbclient (--install):

 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Errors were encountered while processing:

 libsmbclient

edit:
yep, I was right! I destroyed something... When booting, the system ask for login/pass, and then, nothing else. I get prompt. Think I want to download the newest live-image and install over, another day...

edit2: I did the re-install today. Installed Dharma RC2. Everything is working now, smb shares from W7 x64 pc with live 2011 was no problem. Remote also working. Have not tested vid or audio playback.
ASRock ION 330HT.
Have a nice day!
