List index out of range [SOLVED]

Brief description of the problem

Samba will not start.

Detailed step by step instructions to reproduce the problem

I installed Rockstor yesterday. I created a pool, then several shares. NFS is working as expected, but trying to either open the Samba screen or start the service produces this error. After rebooting, the error was replicated/persisted.

@dwnomad Welcome to the Rockstor community. And your timing on trying out Rockstor is rather unfortunate I must say. Thanks for reporting this. You were rather unlucky on this one as the update that broke this has only just been release yesterday:

Dev log for 3.8-15

Hello Everyone, Rockstor 3.8-14.03 is now available! Like the previous two updates in this new cycle, this is also a big one. @Flyer has contributed a pincard based password recovery system for users including root(with a bit of extra security). The system is pretty interesting to me and something security conscious users may like a lot! The UI side of it has the signature @Flyer snappy-ness which is pretty cool. I made the samba service independent of rockstor-bootstrap which was giving grief…

and we have an in progress issue on GitHub on the same:

Fix Samba regression from 3.8-14.03

And another forum thread with other reports of the same issue:

3.8-14.03 broke Samba

I upgraded to 3.8-14.03 on two different Rockstor servers. Both broke Samba. The following is the error received when going to the Samba page: Traceback (most recent call last): File “/opt/rockstor/src/rockstor/rest_framework_custom/generic_view.py”, line 40, in _handle_exception yield File “/opt/rockstor/src/rockstor/smart_manager/views/samba_service.py”, line 44, in get config = get_global_config() File “/opt/rockstor/src/rockstor/system/samba.py”, line 179, in get_global_confi…

And finally there is a pending fix that should soon receive review / testing:

3.8 14.03 broke samba config. May fix #1385

So hopefully this should be fixed in the next testing channel update, or at least soon there after.

Thanks. That explains it. Fortunately neither my wife nor I use Windows very often (I use Arch Linux and she’s on Ubuntu Studio 16.04) so it’s not a big deal for us.

@dwnomad Just a quick notification that the issue you reported re samba configuration has now been addressed so as of yesterdays Rockstor version 3.8-14.04 testing channel updates this should be fixed.

Thanks for the report.

[dwnomad (Dustin Williams)]

I updated and Samba is now working as expected. Thanks!

@dwnomad Thanks for the update and additional confirmation of fix.

Glad it’s now working for you.
