Samba Installation Issue

Postby virchristi » Tue Feb 19, 2013 11:42 pm

Just got my Pogoplug up and running and installed Webmin and Samba. However I can't seem to get Samba to run correctly.
I installed Samba per the guide @ http://web.archive.org/web/201205272051 ... ions/samba

The error msg I get when I try to start it is:

systemctl start samba

Failed to issue method call: Unit samba.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status samba.service' for details.

If you pull up the details on 'systemctl status samba.service' I get:

samba.service
Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)

I've been scowering around the forums to see if anyone else is having this issue and it looks like when they changed from the rc.d to systemd it screwed several things up (viewtopic.php?f=29&t=4970&p=27879&hilit=samba+start#p27604)

This may be a totally nube question but any help would be appreciated.

This will help you find the answer yourself
Use this command
systemctl
Once you get to the bottom it will mention about list units, run that, it will list services of installed items. The one you want is probably smbd. I'm too lazy to look

It shows that both smbd and nmbd are enabled. Just noticed that i'm now able to see my box on windows. So i guess I just cant start samba with "systemctl start samba" but instead have to either start/enable smbd.
