[Solved] After recent upgrade, cannot write to samba shares?

Hi
I'm not sure what is the exact problem, but since now I have no problem with read/write access to my Archlinux samba server.
I cannot understand what package caused this issue to me.
Here is my server's smb.conf, which worked fine 2-3 years without any change:
[global]
server string = Home Server
workgroup = MSHOME
security = share
hosts allow = 10.74.87. 127. 10.8.
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=131072 SO_SNDBUF=131072
disable spoolss = yes
load printers = no
printing = bsd
printcap name = /dev/null
dns proxy = no
unix extensions = no
[stefan]
force user = stefan
path = /home/stefan
writable = yes
public = yes
follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes
My permissions of /home/stefan are:
drwxr-xr-x 43 stefan users 4096 Mar 22 01:17 stefan
and currently I have no write acces to this folder through samba client (Windows 7 PC).
The access rights only depend of "/home/stefan/" permissions and it seems that "force user" option is not respected any more.

Ok, if there is anybody interested about this topic, then one solution is to add:
guest account = stefan
to the [global] section.
So, I use this one and it works for me.
Cheers

HT1277 After recently upgrading my desktop I can no longer recieve emails from my IMAP account it continues to come up with password incorrect yet I have not changed it - HELP!

After recently upgrading to Maverick my desktop computer and all other devices will not recieve emails from my IMAP account, it keeps asking me for a password which has never been changed in 8yrs, please help as it was my business account from so long ago and I use it for general 'stuff' and my 'me' account for personal

Since it is affecting all your devices also, try going to the e-mail web site and seeing if you can log in there. Who is the e-mail provider?
Try deleting the pass word from Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.
If that doesn't work, try deleting and adding back the e-mail account.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

Flash Plug in is crashing after recent upgrade. I tried uninstalling, and reinstalling, still crashing. Firefox and Plug-in are current. What else can I do?

Flash Plug in is crashing after recent upgrade. I tried uninstalling, and reinstalling, still crashing. Firefox and Plug-in are current. What else can I do?

What I suggest you do here is to use Adobe's uninstaller tool to uninstall Flash first of all: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then reboot, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and reinstall it.
I notice too that you have an outdated version of Shockwave For Director. You can update that via http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/

After recent upgrade Mozilla will open but does not connect - I have Norton Antivirus.

After recent upgrade Mozilla will open but does not connect. I have uninstall/reinstalled several times. I have NortonAntivirus.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

After recent upgrade i lost the contacts icon on the screen

after recent upgrade i lost the contacts icon on the screen

Before doing a Reset (which will wipe out a whole lot of things that you have to reenter) check to make sure the Contacts app didn't simply get pushed to another page by the addition of the Newstand app to the first homescreen.

Lost all sounds except ringtone after recent upgrade

No sound except ringtone after recent upgrade followed by the upgrade fix. Since the ringtone was only affected I didn't notice immediately! If I plug in my headphones everything works. Unable to use volume buttons on side unless headphones are plugged in, the volume symbol with white dots doesn't even appear anymore. The volume control in itunes music only works when plugged into headphones otherwise it can't be adjusted. Worked with apple support tried everything include a restore to new still no go! It appears that a few people are having the same problem and seems weird that it happened after last upgrade!

If you are unable to adjust the volume without headphones even after restoring, then the iPhone thinks it's plugged into a dock or cable. This is the behavor that will happen if you plug your iPhone in to the car or iHome dock to play you music and sounds, but a docked connection will never play ringtones through the dock connection and headphones override that dock connection which is why your headphones work.
How does the phone think its connected to a dock? Well, this can happen if the charging port gets wet at some point or if some trauma happens in there like pushing the cable in when it doesnt fit, etc.
So it happens even after restoring what do I do? Service your iPhone. https://selfsolve.apple.com

SOLVED Breakage on Asus UX21A after recent upgrade

After a recent upgrade that brought the kernel to 3.9.2 a lot of things stopped working on my asus zenbook prime: most annoyingly all function keys. They seem like disabled. In xev they don't even produce any event.
This in turn breaks an easy interface to keyboard backlight, screen brightness and sound volume.
I downgraded the kernel to what I had before (3.8.8) and the function keys do work again.
Unfortunately I was unable to circumvent another bug introduced by the upgrade, namely that whenever the machine returns from a blanked out screen, screen backlight is set to max. That cannot possibly be the intended behavior. I get this with journalctl:
archlinux pkexec[1939]:: Executing command [USER=root] [TTY=unknown] [CWD=/] [COMMAND=/usr/bin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 10]
This is annoying because you have to readjust backlight every time manually.
Can anyone shed some light on this? What parts of the kernel do control this? Or what triggered the modified behavior?
Thanks.

ewaller, thanks for your reply!
I did a pacman -Qo on the xfpm-power-backlight-helper program an it turns out to be part of xfpm-power-backlight-helper!
So in turn I downgraded to its previous version, an indeed the problem with max'ing screen backlight disappeared. Of course this is no real solution. I was hoping that xfpm-power-backlight-helper ws a script, so I could see what it does, but it is a compiled program.
I'm going to upgrade to the recent version of the kernel in order to see, as you suggested, more journalctl output, but as far as I remember it was non-descript.
By the way: I'm new to arch, as this little ultrabook is the first machine where I did not install Gentoo; what is the easiest method to switch kernels in arch?
Wrt to the function key problem: It seems that a lot of people having issues with that as the new kernel would not display certain files in the sys filesystem used to manipulate these settings. Unfortunately, I have no solution for that.
thanks

Pm-utils stopped working after recent upgrade. [Solved]

Hi. After a recent upgrade my system, the pm-utils package stopped working. I can run pm-suspend and hibernate but nothing happens at all. Just a blank terminal screen appears. Were there any changes to the kernel that might have changed how it worked? It used to work fine before recently.
Last edited by semperfiguy (2008-10-21 21:56:13)

The update to the kernel made the package I was using for the ath_pci module not work. I had a hook in the suspend that would rmmod and modprobe that module. With the new upgrade I use the ath5k module now. So I just changed the file /etc/pm/sleep.d/12mod-ath_pci to reflect that change and it works great now. Thank You.

Broken System after recent upgrade

Something went disasterously wrong during a recent upgrade, and my EeePC no longer recongnises the kernel!
I have managed to boot from a PartedMagic rescue USB, and am trying to re-install the kernel from the pacman cache.
This is failing with the messages:
error: database path is undefined
error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)
if you're sure a package manager is not already running, you can remove (null)
I haven't got a clue what to do now, and I'm desperate for some help! PLEASE!
**edit** I solved the database path error - I had not mounted the drive containing /var. The other errors remain.

Symlinks:
My laptop is an eeepc 901, with a 4Gb fixed SSD (sda), and a 16GB removable one (sdb). When I set it up, due to lack of experience and/or knowledge, I did the following to try to reduce wear on the 4GB drive, and to use space more efficiently. I probably should not have done things this way, but it has worked perfectly for several years and so I took the approach of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
I created a /boot and a / partition on 4Gb SSD, and installed to that, then moved /home, /var, and /tmp to the 16Gb SSD, and replaced them with symlinks on the 4Gb SSD.
I subsequently did various tweaks suggested on the EeePC forum to further reduce read/write cycles, which can be seen from my fstab.
Here is my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0

tmpfs /var/run tmpfs defaults,size=10M,mode=0755 0 0
none /var/log tmpfs defaults,size=20M 0 0
/var/lib/pacman contains 2 folders, local and sync. Please let me know if I should post the contents. It did have db.lck, which I deleted in an attempt to make pacman work, but without success.
Please feel free to say that this is such a mess it would be better to start again anyway

Nulls in LOVs after recent upgrade to 2.2.1

I have created an adhoc reporting application.
I allow the user to enter whatever criteria they wish, therefore, some of the fields will be left null.
I have setup all these fields with LOVs in which the "Display null" set to "Yes" and have a "Null return value" of "%".
The reports themselves appear to work just fine.
However, when I click on the "Print" link in the "Navigation Bar" to get a printer friendly version of the report, I receive a "the page cannot be found".
I recently upgrade to APEX 2.2.1 and before this things were working just fine.
Help!!!

Raymond - What is the URL that gets requested in the Print link? Hover over it and you should see it. Check the Apache error log for details.

Time Machine Backups after recent upgrade to Mountain Lion

Basically to keep a long story short - i need to take my computer in for repair tomorrow. I recently did an upgrade to Mountain Lion a day or two ago. I haven't done a Time Machine backup until today (a couple days after i upgraded to Mountain Lion) because i wanted to make sure that my previous TM backup (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) was the most up to date and best update that i could revert back to if i had any issues with Mountain Lion, or any application compatibility, etc etc.
I don't have any broken applications and it seems like Mountain Lion is running better than Snow Leopard. However, as i said - i'm taking my computer in for repair tomorrow, i would like to know that i have the most up to date Time Machine backup with the new Mountain Lion so that when i restore it back from my Time Machine backup after i get it back from repair, i won't have any issues with the migration, which could potentially lead me into more technicalities.
I have a 500GB Harddrive, with about 70GB left of free space....I did the initial backup prior to upgrading to Mountain Lion, and it upgraded 400+GB of info, now, since Mountain Lion - the first backup with Mountain Lion initially said 46GB - then it went down to 14GB by the time it was all said and done....so what exactly did it back up?
Did it back up all the necessary files to keep Mountain Lion running smoothly when i restore it back to the way it was after i get it back? Did it not back everything up that it needs to? Is it safe to erase my internal drive and do a clean installation so i can take it in, and not worry about not being able to migrate things back over or applications not working correctly?
When i get it back, i presume it will come with Mountain Lion back on it and i can just boot up into the Recovery Disk and restore it from a Time Machine backup that way, correct?
Thanks for the help.
- Jason

I received the same error and experienced the same issue that you have described but after performing a Time Capsule soft reset and then toggling the TM Off and then back On I was able issue a backup now and see my previous backups.
Here is the link to where I posted my fix; https://discussions.apple.com/message/19069543#19069543. Someone else had success using a different method. The only comment / complaint that I have since the ML OS X upgrade is that TM now takes at least 20 to 30 seconds before I can click/select a backup.
I hope this helps.

Wifi state not remembered across reboot after recent upgrade

After a recent upgrade, I noticed that the wireless network is always on after the computer boots (I use NetworkManager in gnome, which I always use to turn the wireless off). Before that, the wireless is on only if I left it on before I shutdown the computer last time.
Are there people who are having similar symptoms or know the cause?
(I have a Broadcom BCM43142 card and use the broadcom-wl driver)

Format lost when printing to Generic Text Printer after recent upgrade

We recently upgraded Crystal and now the texty file output from a generic text printer has losst its formatting.
The text appears like this:
S
u
m
m
a
r
y
There si an OD character after each letter.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Hi Mike,
That is odd.... What happens if you check on the No Default Printer, save the report and then check it off, or the other way depending on what your original setting is?
If you create a new report do you see the same results?
Also, XI is no longer patchable but you can upgrade to XI R2 for free. Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
To enable the full XI R2 features locate the Keycode link and get a new one for XI R2.
Thank you
Don
