This occurs (seems we are re-visiting same problems that occurred in 3.5.5)

Install YASSM. It contains the missing code page that eliminates these messages.

Be caution: This size of PET easily fills up your RAM.
Using the PET on 512MB RAM PC without swap may corrupts.

I tested the samba-3.5.6-1-lucid.pet on 512MB RAM virtual machine with the Lucid Puppy 5.2.
Firstly i installed firefox, then the free space is only 147MB left, already not enough to install the samba PET. Downloaded the samba PET, then it becomes 105MB.
I tried using the PPM. The PPM finishes with 'success' message, but apparently some files are lacking,
(The PPM does not show any error messages but the error is left at /tmp/xerrs.log.)

Hi Guys,

I must be doing something really wrong, or just missed something obvious. I have installed the 3.5.6 sfs in lucid 5.25 and edited the smb.conf to share my selected directory. If I open lamesmbexplorer I can see the directory shared, but I can't open it. It complains about the wrong password. Is there a password? Do I have to set it up? Info on that seems to be missing in this thread.

Thanks in advance for some help.

Paul

gcmartin, in your tutorial, you say the default puppy username is root, and password is woofwoof. Tried those, doesn't work.

When typing smbclient -L localhost, I get asked for a password, I try woofwoof i get NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

lost

and now, two minutes later, I got it. There is no user set up, nor password apparently. At the bottom of your tutorial, gcmartin, it mentions this

# smbpasswd -L -a root

That does the trick Smile

I'm no beginner with Puppy, but I'm really thrown by these samba sfs files of shinobar's.

My expectation with a sfs is that I download it, tell puppy to load it on startup and that the contents are merged seamlessly with the existing Puppy filesystem, giving me unproblematic access to whatever I've loaded - whether its an application like OpenOffice or the devx development environment.

I've tried both the 3.5.8 and 4.0.9 sfs (separately of course), and puppy sees them and mounts them, but all I seem to end up with is a mess of directories mounted at /initrd/pup_ro6

None of the binaries are in my paths, and it seems I have to do a lot of manual work in copying and rejigging paths to try and make it work.

Surely sfs files should just work "out of the box"?

Running on a frugal puppy 561, only 3 sfs files being loaded at startup (devx, kernel headers and whatever samba i'm trying)

I must be missing something here - can someone set me straight please?
