Samba preference manager crashes update#
I immediately assumed that the Insider Edition had broken network sharing support, as among other things Home Groups were gone (I later discovered this was sadly by design from Creators Update onwards – and I was running the Insider version of Spring Creators Updates).Īfter configuring a non-Insiders Edition Windows desktop to run file sharing, I realized that this was also broken – This issue must have existed for a few months before i’d noticed it. I run a number of Linux based hosts on my home network, and after installing the latest version of Windows 10 Insider Edition, accessing network file shares on Windows 10 hosts from from Ubuntu simply stopped working.
Like most horrible troubleshooting stories, my one was filled with dead ends and false (and self inflicted) root causes. After some trial and error it all came down to an undocumented change in how Windows 10 supports the SMB protocol. Troubleshooting was difficult as I had nothing to go on exception really ambiguous messages via the syslog (“Failed to mount Windows share: Connection timed out”).
Whether it was Ubuntu, Fedora, or RedHat, the recent upgrades to Windows 10 left my Windows shares inaccessible via Samba. For the past few weeks I’ve been battling to get my Linux instances to access file shares on my Windows 10 instances over the network.
