I don't even have the printing selection anymore!! And I never had the
windows printer via Samba.. I am going to reload 9.04 completely and wait..
I have spent much too much time on this already. Ubuntu is gre
I am using 9.04 . I have a similar problem cannot install or remove samba it is
stuck somewhere but not installed I get this when trying to reconfigure :
>>sudo dpkg-reconfigure samba
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: samba is broken or not fully installed
The samba seems to be " installed" in usr/ ins
just install smbclient .. you can do this in the command window, not
abslotuley sure but I think it is something like:
sudo apt-get install smbclient
Make sure that samba is not loaded when you do this. you need to do a stop
on samba if it is running.
This worked great fro me under Ubuntu 9.04 and
I forgot to mention but I had the same problem, I put Samba4 on thinking
that would help but it did not, and I then did a complete removal of all the
samba4 and any other samba I could and then did a reinstall of samba via
synaptic. However this did NOT install the smbclient. I am puzzled by this

Thanks but samba was installed when did my 8.01 install from the original

I do not know where to post this so forgive me if it is in the wrong place. I

9.04 seems to have a problem and cannot print to winxp although I could
with 8.4 . I can see all shared folders on winxp box but cannot see or
find the printer attached to winxp box. Also the GUI for selecting a
printer d0es not show "Samba connected printers" and I think it was
there for 8.4 . I h

Yes the printer does have the "hand" and it was working fine under 8.04.. I
also do not have ability to do the workaround as my GUI does not show
"windows printer via Samba"under networked printers in the
system>admin>printing GUI menu.. ( why not??)
The person who did the workaround used the 64 bi
Ed, Thanks , I did some checking and I have two other winxp systems each
with printers attached, both can print on the other machine.
I tried to follow someone who wrote about modifying smb.conf and messed it
up so badly that I downloaded a default version from ubuntu 8.4 as can't

Just loaded Ubuntu on an older laptop ( dell D505) nothing else on it, new hard
drive. Everything works fine unless I try to access my other computer running
winXP ( yuck! ) via wireless link linksys.

I have the same problem with Picassa it is reported elsewhere but the
problem is that Nautilus does not "see" Picassa in it's list of media
apps. I can get around by a 2 step process but it would be nice not to
have to do that. How do I get Nautilus to recognize my choices of
defaults if they don't
The problem is now fixed for me. After purging all Samba I did try an
apt-get install samba4. This did not work and it claimed there was a
lock somewhere. I checked and Samba was set to load during the startup
phase each time I started the computer up. I unlocked and then set samba
not to be loaded
I do not know how to do a test without reloading 9.04 . I do not have a
problem now and can print fine with 9.04 and a 32 bit O/S. If you can give
me a safe way to check out your idea I will try but I am very concerned that
I will be back in the mess again. It took me nearly 35 hours to have a
