Looks like at present Armbian is based on LTS only. I am in particular annoyed by the outdated Samba release 4.3.11 in Ubuntu 16.04 and thus Armbian. Any chance that there might be a variant of Armbian adopting intermediate (yet stable) releases in the future? Or is there a way to upgrade Armbian or Samba without compiling myself? Thanks Joachim

Thanks for the explanation. Thus I need to ask the same on Ubuntu and eventually Armbian will get it automatically.. Thanks, Joachim

as I wrote above, I installed Armbian. To be specific, it reports I´d prefer obtaining all packages from standard repositories as this makes keeping the system up to date much easier than compiling on my own. I have been through this with nginx in the past. Thus - why is Armbian not using the "latest and greatest stuff form samba.org"? Best regards, Joachim

Thanks for that, helped. I was able to join, however the DC is not yet operational. Need to investigate that. In any case, according to https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_Release_Planning version 4.3 is already close to EOL. How can I get a more recent version? Thanks, Joachim

I was busy working on other stuff. Now I retried with a clean install of Armbian. Samba is at version 4.3.11 which is outdated. The error I get when trying today is roughly the same: root@bananapipro:/home/joachim# samba-tool domain join samba DC --username=administrator --use-ntvfs Finding a writeable DC for domain 'samba' Found DC dc1.samba ldb: unable to stat module /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/samba/ldb : No such file or directory ERROR(<class 'samba.join.DCJoinException'>): uncaught exception - Can't join, error: 00002020: Operation unavailable without authentication File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py", line 175, in _run return self.run(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/domain.py", line 621, in run machinepass=machinepass, use_ntvfs=use_ntvfs, dns_backend=dns_backend) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/join.py", line 1148, in join_DC machinepass, use_ntvfs, dns_backend, promote_existing) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/join.py", line 89, in __init__ raise DCJoinException(estr) Any help appreciated.

I installed Armbian on my Banana Pro and upgraded to 16.04. I successfully configured various services I previously ran on Lubuntu 14.04, including nginx and bind9. However when I try to join my Samba domain as a DC, I get the following: samba-tool domain join mydomain DC --username=administrator --use-ntvfs Finding a writeable DC for domain 'mydomain' Found DC dc1.mydomain ldb: unable to stat module /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/samba/ldb : No such file or directory ERROR(<class 'samba.join.DCJoinException'>): uncaught exception - Can't join, error: 00002020: Operation unavailable without authentication File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py", line 175, in _run return self.run(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/domain.py", line 621, in run machinepass=machinepass, use_ntvfs=use_ntvfs, dns_backend=dns_backend) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/join.py", line 1148, in join_DC machinepass, use_ntvfs, dns_backend, promote_existing) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/join.py", line 89, in __init__ raise DCJoinException(estr) (I get the same error when I try to do samba-tool domain provision --use-rfc2307 --interactive --use-ntvfs..) The directory /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/samba/ldb does not exist. On an Ubuntu 16.04 running as a VM (VirtualBox) on a Windows PC there is a directory /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/ldb. To me it looks there are some files missing. Any suggestion? Thanks, Joachim
