This sounds very similar to the problem I have from time to time using
stock 11.10 Kubuntu. I have never gotten to the bottom of it, but find
that connectivity can always be restored by shutting down and restarting
the network. Winbindd never restarts automatically; it must be restarted
manually from the command line as root.


How do you do the restart from command line?

on Kubuntu 11.10 with all upgrades, including to KDE 4.7.4

suddenly smb browsing in a LAN with 2 windows 2003 servers is not
working (I think after the 4.7.4 upgrade). I have/had 2 shares
marked in Dolpin Places I would just click on and they would open, I
have/had a printer on the server that I use.

Suddenly printer is not working, had to change from shared printer
smb://workgroup/server/__sharename to smb://192.../sharename

smb browsing the same, only by using ip number can I access shares
on the servers.

Anyone else seeing this, time to file a bug report and back to 4.7.3??

kindly
Sinclair

I use gadmin-Samba to configure my network shares etc., and it lets me disconnect Samba. This its not the command line part, although I'm sure it can be done from that - I just don't know how. It used to be "sudo /etc/init.d samba restart" or something similar but that doesn't work now. When restarted in gadmin-Samba a message appears that winbindd is inactive. At that point I open a terminal window and type "sudo winbindd" which starts winbindd and then everything works.



I wonder if there is some kind of time limitation bug in Samba that won't let it run continually...

Shockingly simple:

sudo restart [service]

where [service] is to be replaced by the actual service you want to
start/restart. Use double [tab] (tabulation) in place of [service] to
see list of services that can be restarted this way.

Substitute "restart" by "status" to get service current status, this can
be done without root privileges over dbus, use:

status --system [service]

"man initctl" is your friend.

Otherwise the "old" way that still works is:

sudo invoke-rc.d [service] restart

Hope it helps.
