upgrading does not work

[koczol]

Dear Friends,

Am I new to Ebox as admin, and I would like to upgrade the new samba, but from web platform if I press upgrade User and Group management component, the system sends a message that "The installation of the packages has finished successfully", but there is no change in the version number, and I cant see change in the system either.
What am I doing wrong?
Please help me, I need to have advanced directory share management asap.

Many thanks in advance.

Make in your system /etc/apt/sources.list has the following line:

Code: [Select]

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/juruen/ubuntu hardy main
Then, run this command:

Code: [Select]

sudo ebox-software
Then, go to eBox GUI and check there is a samba new version 0.11.102. After installing such package, in File Sharing->Shares there will be the advanced directory share management.

Actually, you can't upgrade the eBox samba package from the interface yet. We still have to install the gpg key to authenticate the packages.

If you have console or ssh access and after making sure you have the line that sixtone told you in your /etc/apt/sources.list do the following:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install ebox-samba
In the next release you will be able to do all this from the graphical interface, in the meanwhile, I hope this solves your proble,.

Hi Sixtone,

Share is seen but ebox-samba 0.11.102 is not shown in Software Management > eBox components page.

Hope this helps.

The new 103 version file share is better, but I cant still precisely configure users right.
With read only, I know
With read-write there is no delete possibility of other users generated files.
With admin, all rights allowed.
How can I do fine setting of shared directories from web platform?
I saw the smb setting file special lines, where can I find the description of octal numbers meaning?

How can I add to share an already existing folder (no browse feature available at shares)

no more questions  so far.

Thanx a lot

Hi Koc,

We gotta do it manually for what you mentioned at the moment as I believe the current available feature of share module is sufficient. Anything beyond will be on manual. Same goes to windows server.

Cheers.

Hey,

There is no browser to select an existing path. You will have to type it manually

[koczol]

Hi,

How, I guess: just select :file system path and type in the path of the directory I want to share, and if it already exists it will be shared, if not, ebox will create a new empty dir?

[javi]

Nope,

If you select "file system path", the directory must exist.

If you select "directory under eBox", the directory will be automatically created by eBox under /home/samba/shares/DIRECTORY_NAME
