Description James Kerr 2018-11-01 14:54:07 CET

A fresh install of samba on cauldron  

systemctl reported that the smb.service was "masked"
and so it was impossible to start smb

unmasking smb.service made no difference

The files:

/usr/lib/systemd/system/smb.service
/usr/lib/systemd/system/nmb.service

were empty files

I copied the two service files from an mga6 system and samba is now functioning correctly

Comment 3 Bruno Cornec 2018-11-06 02:07:55 CET

The name of the template files changed in this version, and so the files generated were empty. I've fixed that and I'm making a build test before pushing it again.

Fixed with samba-4.9.1-2.mga7 currently building

Comment 5 James Kerr 2018-11-06 15:42:53 CET

This update does create the service files. However, there seems to be a problem:

# systemctl status smb
● smb.service - Samba SMB Daemon
   Loaded: error (Reason: Exec format error)
   Active: inactive (dead)

Comment 6 Thomas Backlund 2018-11-06 20:52:45 CET

Yeah, I think the correct thing would be to see if make_install can install the service files properly and dont need the cat/sed hack in spec anymore

Comment 8 Bruno Cornec 2018-11-09 01:36:39 CET

@Thomas, you're right, there is now a possibility to do the right stuff for systemd in the configure options. I'm making tests with that to build it again and hopefully this time the unit files will be correctly handled.

Comment 9 Bruno Cornec 2018-11-10 02:04:52 CET

samba-4.9.1-3.mga7 on its way to updates_testing with the new usage of option --systemd-install-services of configure to manage the systemd unit files. They look correct now.

Comment 10 James Kerr 2018-11-10 11:24:54 CET

With 4.9.1-3 samba is working normally for me. Thanks.

Closed as fixed
