Installing Samba

[louder]

always failing, stuck on the process as attached screenshot
Dietpi running on a RPi3, updated

any help? Thanks..

Did you tinker with something in the first place?
Seems like the system is trying to mount a 'disk' named "computername" and couldn't resolve the adress from the name itself.

Probably, I've previously mounted an usb drive, but no command line: just the tools provided with dietpi. Anyway, just reinstalled. Thank you anyway.

[lucasmenno]

When the usb drive wasn't on the PI anymore when you tried to install Samba, this would probably explain the confused device manager
Glad i could sort out even though reinstall was faster

I understand that, it just sounds really dumb to halt the whole process because of a no longer available secondary mounted disk.

[lucasmenno]

Yeah thats probably right.
Maybe a timeout would make better sense?
Anyhow this would make a thing for the next version or so

thank you.
