Still not working: Samba shares not working at all, cant share anything with windows and CPU Temp not working correct it show -1 celsius on Kodi 19.3 on DietPi v8.1.2 on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB (aarch64)
I’ve send it a bug report : 86ef7574-4cba-44d5-8de7-0ea990863f4a
For the SMB problem please paste the output of cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
And what exactly is not working? You can’t connect to your share? You can’t write to it? Pls a little bit more info.
indeed some more information would be needed. Otherwise we are not able to help. Pls describe more in detail what is not working and where you are struggle for SAMBA
I’m With Windows 11 Pro and when trying to connect to dietpi over samba i can’t access it and it gives its error on Windows 0x80004005
cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
#
# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
#
#
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which
# are not shown in this example
#
# Some options that are often worth tuning have been included as
# commented-out examples in this file.
# - When such options are commented with ";", the proposed setting
# differs from the default Samba behaviour
# - When commented with "#", the proposed setting is the default
# behaviour of Samba but the option is considered important
# enough to be mentioned here
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
# "testparm" to check that you have not made any basic syntactic
# errors.

But this is not the configuration file how DietPi is creating it.
Question: how did you install samba?
I’ve install samba on dietpi-software has normal.
try to install SAMBA as your configuration file is the one from the original SAMBA package and not the one provided by DietPi
dietpi-software reinstall 96
cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
I have the same problem, I reinstalled samba through the command you passed and it didn’t work, could you help me. same message applying. cat /etc/samba/smb.conf.
System odroid c4
can you try to remove the configuration first
rm /etc/samba/smb.conf
dietpi-software reinstall 96
thanks, as soon as i get home i’ll test this solution.

any problem in the configuration? I reinstalled samba, I would like to view the mnt/HD folder
on our default configuration, external USB disk are not shared automatically. This is something you would need to configure manually, following our online docs SAMBA - Destination directory
thank you, I solved it. I would like to leave it without a password, can you help me?
on windows I was able to enter the password and it is working, but on Kodi I can’t see the smb network.
edit: it was working on windows but it stopped working out of nowhere
what exactly is not working? Did you reboot your system? Does the smb service is still running? Did you checked smb logs?

SAMBA is running and working. Still the question, what is the exact issue now?
my smb network is not visible either on windows that I access from the notebook or on Kodi through the nvidia shield, on windows it worked for a period and then it was not visible again, I’m new to the system, that’s why my difficulty, thank you very much in advance.I’m running dietpi on the latest version for odroid c4 installed on a micro sd sandisk
are you able to access the SAMBA share if you enter the IP address directly within the Windows explorer?
You would need to install Web Service Discovery host daemon, to allow Windows to find the share automatically.
Not yet, I’m kind of lost on this install, anyway, thanks a lot for the help so far. I’m at work, as soon as I arrive I’ll test it
could you help me with the installation? what command do i use?
