Did you create samba users using "smbpasswd" ?

Yes....

also shares on Armbian  and Win7 without passwords.

If access from Win7 to Armbian - normal create and change files

If access from another comp whith Lubuntu to this Win7- normal create and change files

 

If trying access from Armbian to Win7 - this errors...

 

Also smbclient from Armbian to Win7 and Lubuntu:

and see this share from windows pc, but I have been trying to get Thunar to browse network to no avail.  When I click on "Browse network", I get this error message:

Failed to open "/ on".

I got the same error in XFCE Thunar, at least those in Armbian. While in LXDE PCManFM i browse samba shares with no problem. I think you should be able to access samba shares by putting direct link - smb://<youradress_or_sharename>. Or if there are still problems you can use this form - smb://user:password@<yourshare>.

Why are you using "-U%" ? Do you have the "armbianen" user existing on the Win7 machine ?

Simply replace that with "-U <existing_win7_user>" ...

I think problem is that the other,

smbclient -L 192.168.1.111 have existing user (see top)

if direct link - smb://192.168.1.111  have same problem.....

also

sudo apt install pcmanfm

direct link - smb://192.168.1.111  have same problem.....

 

Hmm, command

smbtree

i see all shares in network....

i'm just

 

sudo apt install gvfs gvfs-common gvfs-daemons gvfs-libs gvfs-bin gvfs-fuse gvfs-backends gvfs-dbg xmms2-plugin-gvfs -y

 

strangely why "Armbian_5.05_Orangepih3_Debian_jessie_3.4.110_desktop" don't content this pakages...

 

one problem solved - i can see in thunar names computers from my network,

but on windows share asking login:pass ???

 

if from another comp whith Lubuntu access to this Win share - all normal...

different smb.conf configs Lubuntu and Armbian, in this line:

       server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)

Lubuntu smb.conf contains this line

Lubuntu: Samba version 4.1.6-Ubuntu
Armbian: Samba version 4.2.10-Debian

I forgot, i have those packages installed for LXDE desktop. I explicitly install everything suggested and recommended that is related to network for not to have problems later :), as i actively use samba shares in my tiny home network. I did not think about this when tried Armbian Desktop images.

So you solved service propagation/discovery but are still stuck with authentication against the Windows host? What about trying to debug the problem? Increasing verbosity (interactive mode using smbclient -v)?

So there's a valid account called 'nameuser' on your Windows machine? Or why do you suppress logon credentials? Anyway: Time to stop, this is not an Armbian problem at all.

 

BTW: A recent Samba update broke compatibility with certain Windows installations. Maybe you're affected (don't know since I'm in the happy position to almost never deal with Windows): https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=234&t=220491

This is a question only you can answer. You always mix up everything with everything, exchange client and server role, do not use real 'logon credentials' but always rely on your LOCAL username when trying to access the Windows machine and so on.

 

Start with a more methodological approach and you will succeed. At least try to use a dedicated username when using smbclient (-U $USER-THAT-DOES-EXIST-ON-WINDOWS)

of course,

if create share on Win7 with access user:pass - all normally access on this share from ArmbianÑŽ

 

if accessing this share on Windows "public" (without password) - armbian asking user:pass for this share on Windows....

I think that this is the easiest solution :

(smb.conf)  w/o pass...etc....etc

[global]
 workgroup = YOUR_WORKGROUP
 server string = Samba Server
 netbios name = SERVER
 security = user
 map to guest = Bad User
 guest account = root
 load printers = no
 printing = bsd
 printcap name = /dev/null
 disable spools = yes
 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
 max log size = 50
 dns proxy = no
 socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=131072 SO_SNDBUF=131072
[My Public Share]
 guest ok = yes
 # Next line to adjust (!) 
 path = /public
 available = yes
 browsable = yes
 public = yes
 writable = yes

You can delete, copy, move files.....

Es work for me everytime

 

Great

Don't know if it's relevant, but I always use Webmin to configure samba on my boards running armbian (debian). For those who don't know Webmin: Webmin provides a web-based management console for linux computers

 

In combination with the authentic theme (needs separate installation) Webmin provides a reasonable modern user interface for all kinds of linux management tasks. It also includes a module for samba.

 

Give it a try; I think it makes life easier especially when you do not have a desktop running. Installing is easy and straight forward; start at 'Using the Webmin APT repository' on this page: Webmin

 

After installing start your browser and go to https://yourarmbiancomputer:10000 and Webmin should give you response.

 

I guess it will also work for ubuntu, but have not tried it yet. There is lots of other information and add-ons on the webmin website so give it a try.

 

-End of the commercial break-
