From: Stephan Stachurski on 4 Jun 2010 16:10 I'm not an expert in samba, I just joined the mailing list, but if I recall about ubuntu correctly, the package manage will report some errors if files fail to install correctly, for example /etc/samba/smb.conf. You might have better luck asking asking on ubuntu forums, since it sounds like a failure of aptitude, which is basically unrelated to samba.

What messages do you get when you do "aptitude install samba" (after purging it, of course)? What happens if you do "/etc/init.d/samba start"? Also, have you tried installing SWAT? I find it very useful for configuring servers. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
From: Alex Perez on 5 Jun 2010 02:10 You can check wahat files are included in the deb package with sudo dpkg -l samba maybe the config is in /etc/smb.conf or so. 2010/6/4 Gary Dale <garydale(a)rogers.com> > On 04/06/10 03:44 PM, Miha Krajnc wrote: > >> Hey guys, >> i installed samba on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine (sudo apt-get install samba) >> and it didnt create any config files.

From: Miha Krajnc on 5 Jun 2010 05:30 I am using Ubuntu server. Here is what i get when installing samba with sudo aptitude install samba: LINK <http://stef.si/samba.txt> Also, if i do /etc/init.d/samba start, it puts out "sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found". No i have not installed swat yet, i first want to get just the samba part working. And dpkg -l samba puts this out: --------------------- sudo dpkg -l samba Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===================-===================-====================================================== ii samba 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubunt SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix -------------------- Any other ideas?

I've just tested all of this now and it works, so it shouldn't be an Ubuntu 10.04 packaging problem.
