samba-common
 

solution?

Re: samba-common
 

The solution is to open up your most favorite text editor and remove the silly windows LF/CR from the end of each line. Someone borked up - People still use Microsoft? : )

In simple terms ^M is spamming the scripts.

Both of the following files have this issue:

/var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postrm

Once you remove the ^M from the end of every line, it will both install and remove correctly. It's quite probable that the other samba-common files in this directory are also having the same problem - though I didn't check.

Re: samba-common
 

would there be a program or even a command in the terminal, to automaticly fix that?

Re: samba-common
 

There is a package "tofrodos" but I don't see it in M5 repositories.

Re: samba-common
 

it sounds like somthing that could be done using regex (i only understand regex enough to see the potential, but i have no idea how to actually use them)

Re: samba-common
 

Hi there, I'm having this problem with smbfs and samba-common failing to configure, meaning they also fail when trying to remove them.

While I partly understand your instructions (have opened the two files you mentioned using a text editor) I don't know what you mean by ^M, and can't see anything of the sort anywhere in either file! Is ^M some sort of "code" or designation?

Re: samba-common
 

Now that I read my message again I wasn't very clear. : )

The configuration files have been edited at some point in a text application that leaves ^M at the end of every line. (It's an extra carriage return that you can't ordinarily see)

Probably another way to remove them is to hit "File -> Save As" and select "ASCII" or some similar raw text format.

I use vi for pretty much all my editing so I can't really offer solutions that fall outside this particular editor.

If you google "remove ^M" there are quite a few solutions.

Re: samba-common
 

Make a copy of the files first:
Then remove the silly CRs

Re: samba-common
 

i tried doing that but nothing seems to have changed :(

Re: samba-common
 

hm, actually, it seems it worked, nvm my last post

Re: samba-common
 

I've notified the package maintainer (wondering if anyone has done that already, its there since february...). Hopefully he will fix it. This has caused me some headache and ruined my mood, damn windows strike from the shadows when I thought I'm done with them. Then again, what to expect in a samba package......:rolleyes:

Re: samba-common
 

Hmm, that is interesting since I don't think I edited any of those files (and any editing I did to the pkgs was on a linux box). But yeah, I'll try and fix them and re-submit a fixed packed. Thanks for letting me know.

Re: samba-common
 

Interesting.. That probably means that windows line-ends work in debian but not in maemo?

Oh, I just realized.. When trying to build the packages from source, I had a conflicting library version most probably named libreadline (not sure about the name now as I'm at work). That could be the cause. I'll post more when I get to test it at home.

Re: samba-common
 

Hi ,

I get this error when I try to connect to a device

"session setup failed: NT_STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS"

can u please let me know when we get this error and how do we remove it.

Re: samba-common
 

This doesn't work for me.
I edited all files which corresponds to samba-common but nothing happens.

Any other suggestions?

Re: samba-common
 

same as above -- removing \r not working for me

Re: samba-common
 

There is few errors in post-installation and post-removal scripts.
Post-install:
- non-unix newline format;
- despite package folder structure is optified, script optifies it once more time;
- package relies not only on ucf, but also ucfr, which is not present on maemo.
Post-removal:
- package relies not only on ucf, but also ucfr, which is not present on maemo.

Enhanced busybox comes with dos2unix ;)

Re: samba-common
 

I understand, that it is an old thread, but maybe my research will be usefull for someone.

I installed smbfs package and got errors due to bad samba-common configuration process. Then I took /usr/bin/ucfr executable from wheezy debian package, slightly adopted it to eliminate errors under ash, changed /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postinst, /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postrm and /var/lib/dpkg/info/smbfs.postinst as it was stated before and issued dpkg --configure samba-common.

Files I changed are in the attachment. Maybe someone will fix the package?

Re: samba-common
 

Hmm...mine n900 doesnt know ucfr. I copied attached ucfr to here:

Nokia-N900:~# ll /usr/bin/ucf*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30097 Jan 25 2010 /usr/bin/ucf
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10747 Jul 22 10:47 /usr/bin/ucfr
Nokia-N900:~#

but dpkd samba-common still fails:

Nokia-N900:~# dpkg --configure samba-common
Setting up samba-common (3.4.3-maemo2) ...
Replacing config file /etc/samba/smb.conf with new version
/var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postinst: line 123: ucfr: not found

-p

Re: samba-common
 

So.. whats the solution? I cant get samba-common installed/removed! need help :C

Re: samba-common
 

Page 1 first post has the same error. So just read further. :)
Btw. why do you need samba-common?
All I have installed is smb (3.5.6-maemo1) and smb-tools, nothing more.
