Cannot start SAMBA Daemon: Daemon script samba does not exis

[chris5h]

Hello all,

My Samba share are not working. I booted up my PC this morning and my network drives I map to a pair of SAmba shares from my pogoplug are not there. I rebooted my Pogoplug and no luck. Oddly, I cannot start Samba now. This is what it says:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@alarm samba]# rc.d start samba
:: Daemon script samba does not exist or is not executable.
[root@alarm samba]# rc.d list
[STOPPED][ ] avahi-daemon
[STOPPED][ ] avahi-dnsconfd
[STARTED][AUTO] crond
[STOPPED][ ] dbus
[STOPPED][ ] ftpd
[STOPPED][ ] hwclock
[STOPPED][ ] ip6tables
[STOPPED][ ] iptables
[STOPPED][ ] krb5-kadmind
[STOPPED][ ] krb5-kdc
[STOPPED][ ] krb5-kpropd
[STOPPED][ ] mdadm
[STARTED][ ] minidlna
[STARTED][AUTO] netfs
[STARTED][AUTO] network
[STARTED][AUTO] nginx
[STARTED][AUTO] openntpd
[STOPPED][ ] ppp
[STARTED][AUTO] sshd
[STOPPED][AUTO] syslog-ng
[STARTED][AUTO] transmissiond
[STARTED][AUTO] webmin
[root@alarm samba]#
')

Samba is still installed, and my config is there, but it is like it can no longer be executed. I am not sure what I did other than last night I was trying out Mediatomb instead of Minidlna and switched back but I cannot imagine that would hurt it. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Samba and I get the same result. I checked the guides here http://archlinuxarm.org/support/guides/ ... ions/samba and here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba and nothing.

Please help.

TIA everyone.

Which pogoplug do you have? It may be time to move to systemd, if you haven't already, and the device supports it.

[chris5h]

I believe a Pogoplug v2. I hate to ask a dumb question, but what is systemd? I usually do not mess with my Pogoplug as it really just works and I am happy with it so I am a little behind on things?

Thanks you so much for the help.

Ran into the same thing, I copied the script from another plug to get it going again as a downgrade didn't work.

I also haven't looked into systemd or how it replaces the statup scripts in rc.conf?

I hated the thought of systemd, now I wonder why it hasn't always been that way.

[chris5h]

How do I upgrade to systemd?

Did I do something wrong?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

[root@localhost ~]# systemd
Failed to make us a subreaper: Invalid argument
Perhaps the kernel version is too old (< 3.4?)
Failed to open private bus connection: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11

')

I hope you don't have an OXNAS device, ie pro,v3
What is your kernel version?
uname -a
Basically you are installing systemd-sysvcompat, putting in 2 symlinks to bring up network and ssh server,systemd doesn't work until reboot. Nothing fatal until initscripts removed, that removes rc.conf
If you do this you can see what it is going to be once rebooted
ls -l /sbin/init
Read this $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SystemD')

Don't do it if kernel is 2.x
