hey all
22:55:54 [davb]
hi
22:56:04 [docwolf]
how's it going?
22:56:47 [davb]
not bad. avoiding work etc...
22:57:19 [docwolf]
cool
22:59:03 [docwolf]
do you have any experience with linux?
22:59:58 [davb]
some. I use it every day, I learn what I need to make it work :)
23:05:27 [davb]
Anyway go ahead and ask a question.
23:05:49 [markd2]
"it can't be done, sorry"
23:06:52 [docwolf]
haha
23:06:57 [docwolf]
i can't get samba to work
23:07:10 [docwolf]
i just want to be able to print on a machine that is using winME
23:07:39 [docwolf]
i'd like an easy setup program, but i'm afraid to look for one myself
23:07:44 [docwolf]
since most open-source software like that
23:07:49 [docwolf]
is half-finished garbage.
23:08:06 [davb]
Ah.
23:08:24 [hazmat]
swat
23:08:29 [davb]
That is something I have never accomplished. Actually I can't even print on the printer connected to my machine, and I have a good install program :)
23:08:40 [docwolf]
haha. i feel your pain, davb
23:08:52 [davb]
so I just don't print. Saves paper.
23:09:00 [hazmat]
opensource is only free if you free time
23:09:11 [hazmat]
insert "have"
23:09:37 [markd2]
yep. reinstalling windows and applying service packs takes zero time
23:09:59 [davb]
Can you see the printer share in samba?
23:10:01 [docwolf]
on a brighter note, I installed SuSE 7.3 today, and besides this samba problem..
23:10:45 [docwolf]
davb: it was weird. Suse showed me the printer name during the setup (so samba must have been working at some level), but now i can't print, and I can't see directories on that box either
23:11:09 [davb]
ah. THat unfortunately is the extent of my knowledge.
23:11:36 [docwolf]
anyway, besides these pain-in-the-ass problems that linux always has, SuSE is actually getting pretty polished.
23:12:04 [davb]
Great. I'll have to try it next time.
23:12:10 [docwolf]
everything else seems to "work".. (most importantly, i was able to watch simpsons MPG/AVIs without the need for any bizarro acrobatics.
23:12:23 [markd2]
* markd2 is a SuSE weenie
23:12:24 [davb]
that is very nice.
23:12:47 [docwolf]
it looks like the cash that IBM has been dumping into SuSE is paying off.
23:13:01 [hazmat]
* hazmat likes suse
23:13:15 [docwolf]
and the latest KDE build (which SuSE uses) is pretty darn good.
23:13:16 [hazmat]
i think suse has always been one of the more polished distros
23:13:33 [docwolf]
(being able to watch simpsons out of the box = good. :-) )
23:13:51 [markd2]
they seem to have the 'professional' thing down that RedHat seems to miss
23:14:12 [docwolf]
but this whole samba issue is annoying. doesn't SuSE have some sort of front end for configuring it?
23:15:02 [markd2]
dunno. I avoid windows
23:17:32 [docwolf]
any idea how to stop and re-start samba?
23:19:11 [hazmat]
docwolf: have you tried swat or yast?
23:19:26 [markd2]
I always read yast as yeast
23:19:33 [docwolf]
i've used yast2, I couldn't find the settings
23:19:35 [hazmat]
docwolf: restarting why not /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba reload
23:19:42 [docwolf]
(like not even a place to tell it what workgroup to log on to)
23:19:44 [hazmat]
docwolf: yast1
23:19:49 [docwolf]
i'm just going to edit the conf file myself
23:19:56 [docwolf]
hazmat: thanks
23:19:59 [hazmat]
probably best, stay close to the text

np I need it to
23:21:19 [docwolf]
the conspiracy theorist in me is saying that the last update on the winME box has broken samba... ;-)
23:25:04 [docwolf]
hmm..
23:25:22 [docwolf]
can't even find samba stuff in yast1
23:25:26 [docwolf]

23:38:24 [docwolf]
does inetd need to be running for samba to work?
