Adding shares dissapeared upon reinstall?
« on: February 21, 2009, 07:12:43 pm »
Hi.
I installed eBox a few weeks back to experiment with and now I just finished a complete reinstall of the system to begin configuring a system for production use. However, I am stumped by a small but oh so important detail.

I have installed the ebox-samba package and I have activated the filesharing module. When I activated the module I got an error that mentioned there was probably a bug, but then everything continued as normal.

The fileshare menu item has appeared on the left side of the administration page and when I click on it I can set the file server settings (server type, server name etc). However, the submenus where I add and edit shares do not appear.

Does anyone know what is wrong and if so how I can fix it?

Sincerely
Daniel Armyr

I would go with a clean installation doing this:

Code: [Select]
apt-get remove --purge "^ebox-.*"
apt-get remove --purge libebox ebox

That looked very promising, and this time I got no indications that anything would be amiss. But the submenu refuses to appear. I get no error or any indication that there should even be anything there. If I had not seen them before I wouldn't even know anything was missing.

It isn't that I am missing some package? I installed ebox and ebox-samba. Do I need anything else?

Just a shot in the dark: are you using the 'Firefox' browser? Other browsers seem to only be supported in "theory"...
