I think this is a different issue than the Samba/AppArmour one. My desktop fails to find any Samba shares on the local network.

If I type smb://"computername" it will show the share. It just can't seem to show them by browsing. All other computers on the local LAN find the shares with no problems, including the share on the 11.4 install which can't find them. This happens on both a 32 bit and a 64 bit install. An older opensuse 11.0 install shows them all, as does my macbook, as does Windows 7.
Basic clean install (both 32bit and 64 bit) KDE. (AppArmour is disabled in Yast).
Thanks for any assistance.

Try shutting off the susefirewall as a test. (not recommending you leave it off). Seeing shares on the network isn't really a samba function. (Samba provides shares). By the way, it is not necessary to shut down AppArmor to get Samba working. You just need set up samba, fire it up, and then run the AppArmor update profile wizard. It will list things that Samba tried to access but which were blocked by apparmor. Use the right hand button on the bottom to ALLOW all of these, then finish. Test samba again, rinse repeat a few times. Each test gets a little farther and accesses more control files. (Its sad apparmor doesn't have a proper profile for samba that gets installed right off the bat, but the wizard does a good job). Finally samba will run. Then as your Virtual Machines or Network users try to access the samba shares they will get trapped by apparmor too. Run the wizard again, and when you come across an entry that points to your data files use the glob button before using the Allow button. For instance: Assume you are using Samba to Share /data sub-directory. A user might try to access /data/documents/family/pictures/auntlucy.jpg You certainly don't want to create a Apparmor ALLOW rule for every friggin file. GLOB will take off each node, (One node for each press), so that you end up after 4 presses of Glob with just /data. Then press Allow, and bob is your brothers uncle. There is no reason to shut down apparmor totally. Keep it running and use the wizard to teach it what is allowed. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
