Hello: I have this problem in openSUSE Leap 42.2 with its default samba version (4.4.2). nmbd service is not started at boot and I cannot start it manually. # systemctl start nmb.service Job for nmb.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. See "systemctl status nmb.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. # systemctl status nmb.service ● nmb.service - Samba NMB Daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nmb.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Sun 2017-07-30 11:37:52 CEST; 5min ago Main PID: 4235 Status: "nmbd: No local IPv4 non-loopback interfaces available, waiting for interface ..."

Jul 30 11:37:52 linux systemd[1]: nmb.service: Failed with result 'timeout'. According to this the problem is that I don't have a IPv4 non-localhost network insterface, which is true according to ifconfig: # ifconfig eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xxxxxxxxxxxxx inet6 addr: abcd::abcd:abcd:abcd:abcd/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:24766 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:20994 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:22671550 (21.6 Mb) TX bytes:3075937 (2.9 Mb) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:xx.x.xxx.xxx P-t-P:xx.xxx.xxx.xx Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1 RX packets:24466 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:20666 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:22115202 (21.0 Mb) TX bytes:2606771 (2.4 Mb) I have a DSL connection configured in network manager. Why does not eth2 get an IPv4 addres? How can I fix this? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
