Upgrade openhabian destroys samba

Setup, Configuration and Use Migration
1

Hello,
i upgraded from OH3 to OH4. For this upgrade, i have to upgrade the linux basesystem first. I have installed a old openhabian verison, so i upgraded the linux to the newest. After this upgrade, i cannot access the samba shares. I deleted samba complete and installed it via openhabian-config. but without success. i cannot see any errors, but from my desktop pc i cannot reach the raspberry shares. do you have any idea what i can do?

I´m not familiar with Openhabian, so I´d start on linux level.

Start with testparm to check for errors in smb.conf.
Then check locally, if samba shares are visible.
Then in Windows via IP, later via your linux box name

Hey,
thanks for your reply.

Here are the result of checkparam:

How can i check the samba shares locally? Do you have a commandline expression for me?

Edit:
i try the following:

openhabian@openhab:/var/log/mosquitto $ sudo smbclient --list $(hostname -s)
lpcfg_do_global_parameter: WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated
do_connect: Connection to openhab failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)

  • Is name server resolving working probably? Looks like “hostname -s” tries to resolve as part of the command. Maybe try at first a command “hostname -s” only to watch for the output and later “smbclient -L localhost” at first to eliminate potential errors here
  • Do you have an existing user with access rights? Also watch for /var/log/samba/ log files.
  • User rights appropriate for the target directories?

I’d (re-)set the Samba password first. Somewhere in the 1X options I think.

openhabian@openhab:~ $ hostname -s
openhab
openhabian@openhab:~ $ smbclient -L localhost
lpcfg_do_global_parameter: WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated
do_connect: Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)

I have already changed the password, but without access. the folder rights are all correct. i dont have any clue whats going wrong here…

Hmm … new ideas

  • smbclient without providing a user name takes the current user “openhab”. Is this user set up for samba?
  • Check /etc/resolv.conf
  • Check IP being bound to samba. Maybe a wrong interface?
  • A firewall issue might apply, if connections to localhost/openhab are not possible

Is your smbd service up and running?

sudo systemctl status smbd.service

But if i wanted to connect a network drive in windows 11 i see nothing. i try the IP( 192.168.178.134) and the hostname (openhab)

But after a restart of the smbd service, i’m able to login with smdbclient and see the shares… thats a small success…

Edit:
i have added the following to sama.conf

protocol = SMB3

After restarting the service the shares will work! thanks alot!
