Hello! I was trying to build my own KDE3-based LiveCD (based on Slackware 14.1!). While most things worked - samba configuration using KDE's own config module from kcontrol showed mostly greyed-out fields. Aw .... I looked at http://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tdenetwork/tree/filesharing/advan… and tadam! ========= int SambaFile::getSambaVersion() { if (_sambaVersion > -1) return _sambaVersion; TDEProcess testParam; testParam << "testparm"; testParam << "-V"; _parmOutput = TQString(""); _sambaVersion = 2; connect( &testParam, TQT_SIGNAL(receivedStdout(TDEProcess*,char*,int)), this, TQT_SLOT(testParmStdOutReceived(TDEProcess*,char*,int))); if (testParam.start(TDEProcess::Block,TDEProcess::Stdout)) { if (_parmOutput.find("3") > -1) _sambaVersion = 3; } kdDebug(5009) << "Samba version = " << _sambaVersion << endl; return _sambaVersion; } ============ and next it checks this version ... So, I added similar block testing for samba 4 (Slackware 14.1 uses 4.6.16) See patch (attached). While this one is for KDE's kdenetwork-3.5.10 - I think this fix should be applicable to TDE's tdenetwork. Of course this is not everything - Samba log files for example moved and apparently changed format. And smbpasswd command stores Samba users by default in new format, not readable by old loader But there is workaround! Just reverse this command: http://www.novell.com/linux/releasenotes/i386/openSUSE/11.1.42/RELEASE-NOTE… pdbedit -i smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd -e tdbsam:/etc/samba/passdb.tdb I actually used /etc/samba/private patch for Slackware 14.1, but for 14.2 path is different! smb passwd file = /var/lib/samba/private/smbpasswd as reported (among many different things) by "testparm -v" At least file sharing started to work - I can share folder, and set it writable. But broswing in KDE3's actually require full smb://host/Share_Name form, otherwise it shows nothing (at least in qemu, may be built-in smb server interferes with normal OS-level samba server?). ISO file for testing (700Mb!) https://yadi.sk/d/HYZ9rwcykB3Fzg sha256sum CDROM-4.4.194_5.iso 0f49ddf10089de2e802825ea03b994644c9253e7330daacccb6258a18b180d1b CDROM-4.4.194_5.iso password for root user: toor for guest: guest [those actually defaults from old Slax 6.x line of live CD] You can type "slax autoexec=kdm" at isolinux boot prompt - then it will load X/kdm by default. Sources (for components I modified) in root/src qemu command line: qemu-system-i386 -cdrom /dev/shm/CDROM-4.4.194_5.iso -m 1.9G -enable-kvm -soundhw es1370 -smp 2 -display sdl,gl=on -usb -cpu host but you can simplify it down to qemu-system-i386 -cdrom /dev/shm/CDROM-4.4.194_5.iso -m 512 -enable-kvm
