Nemo and Nautilus crashing on accessing Samba shares

Hi,
I've made a clean install on a new laptop, and I've installed the cinnamon desktop environment. I've installed the following versions of these packages in order to get samba to work with nautilus:
Name : smbclient
Version : 3.6.12-1o
Name : gvfs-smb
Version : 1.14.2-3
Name : nautilus
Version : 3.6.3-1
Name : gnome-vfs
Version : 2.24.4-6
However, I get a segmentation fault every time I try to access any samba share or just by simply typing smb:// into the address bar.
Using the gnome-control-center printer setup also causes a segfault. Here is the dmesg output:
[ 748.193864] nautilus[3051]: segfault at 0 ip 00000000004c 1a89 sp 00007fff15bf8440 error 4 in nautilus[400000+14c000]
Can anyone help?
I'm unable to find any specific help on the forum for this particular problem
Thanks!

I've been trying to isolate the problem, and I think it has to do with gvfs-smb.
I am able to access shares via smbclient, and I even tried installing KDE's dolphin, which worked flawlessly as well.
I'll see what happens if I use an older version of gvfs-smb.

Help! Desktop icons gone, no right click ... and Nautilus crashes!

I have a fully upgraded Gnome-based system, and all of a sudden my desktop icons disappeared, clicking on the desktop does nothing, and every time I use Nautilus it crashes with the error (from bug report):

It doesn't seem to be an options or configuration thing, maybe more like some sort of corruption? The Panels are fine. I have checked desktop and Nautilus options using Gconf and tried recreating ~/.gconf etc. The only suspicious occurrence was when, in the middle of a pacman -Syu, I was thrown back to the GDM login prompt. I just logged in again and did another pacman -Syu and everything seemed okay.
By the way, running Nautilus as root does show root's desktop okay, but Nautilus still crashes.
Any help would be most welcome for a very frustrating problem!
PS: Forgot to say that I'd tried reinstalling quite a few Gnome things and Nautilus, with no effect.
Also, the problem persists after restarting X, logon, reboot, power-off ...

Uh-oh, seems like this problem could go wider than I thought. There's a fairly lengthy thread on the Ubuntu forums which smells the same, for example:

Re: Desktop icons disappear
Got it! I can get a crash with this:
Code:
mkdir ~/test
cp /usr/share/applications/compiz.desktop ~/test/
nautilus ~/test
I'm going to leave a comment in the bug.
And in fact, I was mucking around with .desktop files when I think my icons went AWOL.
Anyone else brave enough to risk losing their desktop to try this out?!

Unable to access samba share.

I'm setting up a ubuntu file server with samba shares and security = user.
These shares are able to be accessed and work correctly for both linux and windows clients. When I attempt to connect to the shares in OSX I get the usual username/password dialog box, however it doesn't accept the correct credentials.
I've googled for help for a few hours now, but cannot find anything that helps. I'm guessing its a security setting somewhere in OSX, but I'm not able to find out what.
Any ideas?

turns out that I was connecting to it incorrectly.
correct method is smb:\\workgroup;user@server\share

Nautilus: can't browse Samba share after upgrade

Hi,
after yesterdays upgrade I can't browse any Samba share. When I try to point Nautilus to for example "smb:///192.168.1.42", where I have many shares, I get an error window saying "Could not find "smb:///192.168.1.42" Please check the spelling and try again". Anyone knows where's the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Tomas

App freeze on accessing Samba shares

Hi,
I really didn't want to have to make a topic on this, as I've searched all over the place and I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only one with this problem (unless I've somehow missed something).
Basically I have some Samba shares set up like this in my fstab:
# Share Mounts
//<address>/share1 /home/eldersnake/Shares/share1 cifs noauto,x-systemd.automount,users,uid=eldersnake,gid=users,password= 0 0
//<address>/share2 /home/eldersnake/Shares/share2 cifs noauto,x-systemd.automount,users,uid=eldersnake,gid=users,credentials=<credentials location> 0 0
The problem is periodically, trying to access/mount these shares through let's say, Dolphin (but it happens in any file manager I try) causes the program to simply hang. It will stay there, hung and cannot be killed, even with the "kill -9" command. Only rebooting gets rid of the process.
And looking at the process list with KDE's system monitor lists the affected program status as "disk sleep". Again, it cannot be killed. I've seen this happen with my file manager, Clementine (when I tried to open up a file, therefore it opened up the file dialog and I clicked on a share mount) and even in my terminal...
Even running
sudo mount /home/eldersnake/Shares/share1
for example, nothing happens. The terminal is simply hung and never completes.
I say this happens periodically because sometimes it seems to work just fine. Then some days, it does the above consistently. I'm really unable to pin it down.
Anyway I removed the x-systemd.automount option from fstab and so far I have not been able to reproduce this problem. I'd file a bug report but I can't help but wonder if I've missed something obvious and I'm unsure how to provide evidence that it's systemd specifically causing the problem. Thanks for any help.
EDIT: I should add this occasionally also happens on a separate machine, my netbook. Again, only after adding the systemd automount line to the fstab file.
Also manually mounting the share with
sudo mount -t cifs <share> <directory>
always works fine. It's simply when using the fstab entry combined with systemd automount.
EDIT: Took systemd-automount out of the title as I am not sure its the cause anymore.

Okay, still happening. Often I reboot and everything works fine but sometime later, can be 10 mins...could be 10 hours, this problem re-emerges.
I did however manage to catch this in dmesg

Not sure what to make of it though other than it's something CIFS related, but whether CIFS itself is the problem I'm unsure. I just installed the samba daemon as suggested above though and will see how we go.
EDIT: The pid it's referring to in the stacktrace is a process which I noticed appears as a zombie after the problem occurs. The process is "gvfs-udisks2-vo".

XP Mode Crashes When Accessing Network Shares

I am using Windows 7 Professional and have installed XP Mode to use a legacy accounting application.
In the Virtual Machines folder on the host under settings I have set the network adapter to Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.
Under XP Mode, I have set XP to be a member of the workgroup and I am logging on with a user who can access network. When I run XP Mode I can access the internet with Internet Explorer.
If I then go to "My Network Places" "View Workgroup Computers" I can see all the workgroup computers on the network. If I then double click on a computer name Windows Explorer shows me all the shared directories on that computer.
This is where the problem occurs. If I then click on a shared directory XP Mode instantly exits and restarts. (Windows 7 is unaffected.)
Does anyone have any idea's as how I can access all the shared directories to view the files stored on the network.

Miya Yao, Thank you for your reply.
Can other computer in the workgroup see the shared directory in Windows XP Mode? I don't know exactly what you mean by this. No other computers in the workgroup are running XP Mode. They are running native XP Professional. (It was my original idea to run
a physical XP laptop together with Windows 7 desktop to access the data files required, before I read about XP Mode.)
All workgroup computers can access network shares, if the user has appropriate permissions. I have shared the "Shared Documents" under XP Mode and this share can be accessed by all other computers on the network including the host. However, if I access this
share from the guest via "View Workgruop Computers" as in my first post, XP Mode instantly quits and restarts. For information the XP Mode user name and password is the same as the host user name and password.
I have checked the Event Viewer both before I first posted and again today. There are no entries recorded. However, I should have mentioned that upon restarting XP Mode I get "The system has recovered from a serious error" the details of which are:-
BCCode : 10000050 BCP1 : FFFFFF8A BCP2 : 00000001 BCP3 : F7F23661
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 3_0 Product : 256_1
If I send the error report I am taken to thsi web page:-
http://wer.microsoft.com/responses/Response.aspx/603/en-us/5.1.2600.2.00010100.3.0?SGD=316378af-10a1-428a-9016-074d398ed1a1
The page talks about testing RAM. RAM is fine. There is 8GB of physical RAM. It was tested with memtest86+ v2.10 and v4.20 separately. v4.20 was run for 12 hours plus with no errors detected. I have tried adjusting XP Mode RAM under settings but this makes
no difference.
The issue happens when accessing all shared directories including empty ones.
I clean booted the computer and yes the issue still exists.
If I use dos to view a directory under XP Mode the problem exists, by typing
\\SERVER\SHARE\FOLDERNAME .
By using the host I can map a shared directory. Then under XP Mode I can access the share from my computer. I have noticed by mapping S: to a Network Share that in Windows Explorer in XP Mode the path is
\\tsclient\S\ . Is this normal?
Under Windows 7 the same share appears as S:\ as I would expect.
However, I would prefer not to have to map and un-map different Network Shares to drive letters.
It should have been mentioned in my first post, host is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I don't know the build but it is full retail version (not upgrade) from when first released - prior to SP1. All updates have been applied including SP1.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Kernel Panic and Application Crashes when Accessing a Folder

Hi,
I originally posted in the iTunes forum (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=252516&tstart=75) with this problem as it was in iTunes where I first noted the issue. However since then I have discovered it is a system wide issue.
Everytime I try to access a specific folder, my iTunes Music folder, whichever application is accessing it will crash. Finder crashes when trying to view the folder, and other apps will crash when trying to open from or save to that folder. There will be no crash reporter when they crash either. I have also experienced two kernel panics, one when iTunes was playing, and another when Tech Tools Pro was doing its surface scan. The folder is on one of my two FW800 connected external hard drives. The kernel panic looks like this:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x002478C8): hfs: block mark free: trying to free non-existent blocks (-1094886590 -1078469906 39039948)

I am not entirely sure as to what this means or how to deal with it. I am able to access the folder via terminal, but there are 2700 folders within my iTunes Music folder and 23137 songs, so it could take me a very long time to find the exact file or folder which is causing me problems. I could potentially have enough disk space should a backup be required but it would be backed up to 3 different drives and would be close. That is assuming of course that I would not experience the same panic when accessing the area. Can anyone help me with this?
Powerbook G4 1.25Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

The first phase:
Since the Kernel Panic is temporarily a state of suspended animation because of a safe-boot solution, try the next step. This is a pre-caution to avoid any failures during ongoing troubleshooting.
After safe-boot, launch System Profiler and select /Software/Extensions/ directory in Contents (on the left column ) menu. Next, open /System/Library/Extensions/ folder by Go to Folder command or by manual. Compare the both contents. You'll see System Profiler shows less kernel extensions than /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. There are ".kext" files that are not shown in the loaded Extensions directory. If there is a most suspect third-party extension (perhaps FireWire's driver), try removing out of the folder to a temporary made folder on the desktop-- you may be prompted the admin or login password.
The second phase:
TechTool Pro fixed a file structure error in one file on the main drive, and some bad custom icons or bad bundle bits error now lie on on the main and one of your secondary drives, but not the previous problems. Also, you still cannot access that folder, however folders within that folder you can get to just fine, via the Go To Folder command or reveal in finder from iTunes.
Those symptoms appear to suggest that some directories structure and the volume information other than the main drive have lost their consistencies and a directory may be no longer accessible for some reason which happened before or during the Kernel Panic. Techtool Pro 4.0.6 seems to not be able to fix those problems. So if you have DiskWarrior 3.0.3, run it and hopefully fix them. If you do not have it, try the followings.
Connect the external FireWire drive in question, then boot into a Safe-mode. If this does not work well, first boot into a Safe-mode then connect the device.
Launch Terminal utility. Type diskutil list at the prompt. Here is an example to be displayed:
MyMachine:~ Myself$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: type name size identifier
0: Applepartitionscheme *233.8 GB disk0
1: Applepartitionmap 31.5 KB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS MacOSX_HD 70.7 GB disk0s3
3: Apple_HFS Data_HD 162.8 GB disk0s5
/dev/disk1
#: type name size identifier
0: Applepartitionscheme *111.8 GB disk1
1: Applepartitionmap 31.5 KB disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS Data21HD 69.9 GB disk1s3
3: Apple_HFS Debugger_HD 41.6 GB disk1s5
Find the disk identifier that points the external device in question. Type sudo fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk1s3 if the target drive would be disk1s3. If the result shows you like below, the symptoms may be fixed.
MyMachine:~ Myself$ sudo fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk1s3
** /dev/rdisk1s3
** Checking HFS Plus volume.
** Checking Extents Overflow file.
** Checking Catalog file.
** Checking Catalog hierarchy.
** Checking Extended Attributes file.
** Checking volume bitmap.
** Checking volume information.
** The volume Data21HD appears to be OK.
If the above solution fails, boot into a Single-user-mode and perform the same way as above-- a "sudo" parameter MIGHT not be needed to type.
The third phase:
Start up from Mac OS X 10.4.x Install disc. Launch Disk Utility program. Try repairing the target volume(s) on the external device and then repair the permissions.
If the above solution fails to fix all filesystem problems on that volume, then you may need to abandon hope some file or folder in question to trash it/them. Of course, I do not hope so.…
Also, when I booted into Safe Mode it started up the volume menubar item as usual but I had no sound... Is this normal during a Safe boot?
Certain Mac OS X features do not work when you are started up in Safe Mode. For example, you can't use DVD Player, capture video in iMovie, use an AirPort card, use audio input or output devices, or use an internal or external USB modem.
So it should be no problem on this matter.

Lanovo ix4 300d and european character set for samba shares

Hi,
I am installing a couple of IX4-300d at a client site, struggling to set and fix the samba character set for the Windows shares. Here in Italy everyone is used to put western european characters into filenames (for example è ò ° €) but the NAS acts wierdly when it finds such caracters in folder names and file names.
As you know samba gives the possibility to declare dos charset= ISO8859-1 and unix charset= ISO8859-1 in the smb.conf file but the option is not present in the IX4 setup pages.
Is there an easy way to circumvent the problem and fix this option? As it is now the machine is fearly useless, at least if you need to migrate files and folder from a server or storage with ISO8859 charset already applied.
thanks a lot

Finder Crash when accessing SMB share

iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo.
When opening a particular share on an SMB server, the Finder crashes and relaunches. Does not happen on other shares on the same server. Happens for all users on this Mac. Does not happen on other Macs.
Have tried deleting finder.plist and windowserver.plist, and cleaning caches with Onyx and Cocktail.
Note: also crashes on some DMGs.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have also tried Techtool and Repair Permissions.

BPEL server and java crashes while accessing a deployed process in console

Hi,
I am running BPEL developer version on my local machine (win xp ). If I try to run a deployed process from my BPEL console by clicking on the process name, an Unexpected error dialog box pops up saying Java has encountered an unexpected error. After that the broser as well as the BPEL server window crashes. I have tried both IE and netscape.
Can someone help as this is completely preventing me to test my deployed processes.
Thanks

Naah, I said, that will never work. But to my shock and (pleasant) surprise, it does! Here is a snippet of a little routine I cobbled together using LabVIEW for both the Writer and the Reader.
The Writer is on top. It creates a Temp.txt file on my Temp directory, deletes it if it is already there, then opens it for writing. There's a boolean "Done" flag that tells me when the Writer finishes, so I clear it before entering the Writing Loop. Here, every half-second, I write the sequential numbers 0 .. 9, with a New Line to create a Text File of Lines. When I'm finished, I close the file.
Below this is the Reader Loop, designed to start after the Writer Loop has opened (and created) the file. Here we open the same file in Read-Only mode. The Reader Loop also goes 10 times (I could have built in a Stop condition, but this is only a Proof-of-Concept). The loop is initialized with the current File Position (0) in a Shift Register. The inner While Loop is a "Wait for Data to Appear", a loop which checks 10 times a second to see if the File Position has changed, exiting when it does (meaning the Writer has Written Something). It then reads a line from the File (the Read Text function has its "Read Lines" property set) and displays it.
When you run this, you will see the Reader's output, Line, count up, 0 .. 9, and then the program stops with no errors. What fun!

Unable to Access OS X Samba Shares (from Win98 machine) after 10.4.6

I've got a Windows 98 machine networked with my Mac. Under OS X, I used Share Points to setup shares on the Mac, which I was able to access fine from the Windows 98 (not SE) machine. Until I installed 10.4.6. Now when I try to access the same shares from Win98, I'm asked for a password. When I enter the password, it says resource not available.
I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with Windows 98 because I hooked up a Win XP notebook and was able to access the shares on OS X using the same password (that failed when trying to access from 98).
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I don't know if this will help, but I have discovered that with AFP access, passwords are now case sensitive, whereas they were not in 10.4.5 and earlier. I went to the Windows Server and looked at how the username and password was set up for access, and saw that they were set up with both having initial caps and the rest lower case. In 10.4.5 and earlier, we were logging in over the network with all lower case on both without a problem. With 10.4.6, we have to type them both with initial caps. I banged my head against the wall and spent several days on these forums looking for this answer with no results. Today our part time PC IT guy was in and I asked him if he had any suggestions, and within 3 minutes he had solve my problem.
Thanks, Apple!

After update to 10.6.3 copy to a Samba share fails

I have just upgraded to 10.6.3. Since then whenever I copy a file from my iMac to a Samba share on a Linux server I get the error:
The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.
No changes were made on the server before this update.
If I create a file using any program or create/delete a folder on the share works fine, but I cannot copy files. The error occurs at the end of the copy, not a the beginning....
Anyone has had this problem? My best guess is something is not right with this latest patch.

Hi,
I have noticed the error occurs when I copy files from my Mac to any samba server (I run OpenSuSE on a Phenom-X4 and Ubuntu PPC on an old iBook-G3). However when I copy to a file share on a PC running Windows Server 2003 I do not get any file copy problems.
Reading and executing files from mounted samba shares or windows shares did not seem to have any issues.
For the moment I have relegated myself to copying files to a Windows OS running on a virtual machine in my Phenom-X4 and then logging into the VM and copying the files a second time to the samba share but I would appreciate anyone posting further on this issue. Because of my experiences I believe the issue is an incompatibility with the Samba servers after upgrading to 10.6.3.

Samba Shares and System Lockup

Hey Guys,
So I've been having this issue since I got my MacBook Pro, when I'm using it at work I'm connected to various Samba Shares on Windows Server 2003, a Drobo, and a Windows Vista machine. Now, if I dismount all of them when I'm heading out of the office then my system is fine, but if I forget to dismount one of them the entire system locks up upon waking the Mac up. I cannot do anything and I am forced to power down and power back up.
This is endlessly annoying, as I'm sure you can imagine and I lost a large Photoshop document last night as a result.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks

I purchased our first mac in December 2010. The macbook pro utilizes SMB file shares on one of my windows 7 PC's. I am experiencing the EXACT SAME problem as everyone in this thread. It crashes at least once a week. It's not just Finder but the entire OS freezes including the Dock. It allows you to browse throw the apple menu and select "Restart" but it only hangs endlessly after that. I'm a PC/Microsoft expert and as a new mac user my experience has been extremely disappointing.
Apple: There is an abundant amount of threads on the web regarding this very same issue. It's not just inconvenient. It's extremely disruptive and frustrating. I am almost on the verge of returning the macbook since apple hasn't cared to even address this issue.

Firefox 3.6.8 crashes when accessing Add-on Manager and Google Toolbar (v 7.1.20100723W) is enabled

Well, as I said, Firefox 3.6.8 crashes when accessing Add-on Manager and Google Toolbar (v 7.1.20100723W) is enabled. This is on a 2010 white unibody macbook. I have a google toolbar, and all of a sudden, it keeps saying that it can't communicate with the toolbar. Now, I can't even uninstall it because whenever I go to the add on manager, it says there's an 'unresponsive script'. Could anyone help me? Thanks.

I fixed it by running in Safe Mode, and uninstalling Personas. Thanks again!

Windows network setup: can't share on network and have each system access internet directly

Windows network setup would not let me set up my network so that I could both:see my other computers on the network and have them both connect directly to the internet. It wanted to set one up as a server.
Is it dangerous to arrange it that way?
If not, several people have told me it should be no problem to set up my network so that my computers can see each other and share, and yet still ahve access to the internet. I think this is enabled through DHCP?
Would someone mind lending me a hand?
I have a BEFW11S4v2
