What to do now ???

[iDeep]

I followed and installed the SamyGo widget on UA40ES6600R (XZN) using this - viewtopic.php?uid=21549&f=49&t=5859&start=0 , I have the widget working now as shown below.





Now, I need to enable access to my NAS Samba share over Wifi - Pls. guide how to proceed with this ?

It seems the TV got rooted successfully but ftp/telnet are not working. When I connect using ftp I am prompted for password (meaning it is getting connected) but entering blank password does not work. Firmware details in signature.

Anybody pls ?

Do you get the virtual USB?

Next steps would be to edit 04_04_samba.init in the /mnt/etc/init.d directory

FTP the file, make changes, FTP it back and replace the existing one.

Don't use windows notepad. Find and download Notepad++

Changes to make in the file are:

USER="" to USER="username that can access the share"
PASSWD="" to PASSWD="the password"

If you don't set username and password then this script will exit and not mount anything.
[you can also set the username and password elsewhere in a file but I can't remember now where this is]

Now you have a choice:

1. Do nothing else and hope your server is found

2. Change SERVER="" to SERVER="your server IP"

3. Do 2. above but also change
SHARES="" to SHARES="list of your shares"
If you have more than one separate them with spaces"

4. (My personal preference) in this file find

case $1 in
start)
insmod $MOD_DIR/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko
mkdir -p "$DEST_DIR"

In the line afterwards manually mount your share(s) using mount like:

/bin/busybox mount -o user=yourusername,password=yourpassword -t cifs //yourserverIP/yoursharename /dtv/usb/sdj/smb

You can mount more shares but then you need to specify additional directories as mount points (and create those directories first). Let me know if that is something you will want to do, and if you choose this option 4.

Finally delete the lines getservers and get shares.

Assuming you try one if these options and it doesn't work try telneting in to your TV and manually running the mount command. If it succeeds then you at least know your problem is elsewhere and not with the mounting.

Btw when ftping back The samba.init file make sure you are replacing the existing file. Do not create a new samba.init file. Do not rename the existing samba.init file.

I think your suggestions made no sense for him at this time... In an other thread he said that he has NO FTP, NO Telnet, etc... viewtopic.php?f=53&t=5817&start=40#p42421

I ask him to post more TV/Firmware details here... and what do not function in detail...

[zdzi]

Fair enough. He said he had a working widget so I took it from there. Someone else may one day find this useful.

Trust me iDeep. If you are new to these things, you may have to read things multiple times to find all the info.

I have some experience with Linux, but dealing with this tv is very different to my experience.

Like fluffi stated, give some more info for people to work with, and there are some very good people here that can help.

Try to keep all info in 1 thread. It makes it easier to find all the info you are given, or have given.

Hoffy.

Hi,

First of all thanks to all for attending to my queries, I am a bit linux experienced as have managed my way around servers (CentOS) for almost 8+ years and currently working with a Raspberry Pi using Debain (the NAS I want to share with the TV). The problem is I am not able to get the shell/ftp, if I do things should get more understandable.

On the problem front - It seems the TV got rooted successfully but ftp/telnet are not working. When I connect using ftp I am prompted for password (meaning it is getting connected) but entering blank password does not work. Firmware details in signature.

Thanks

UPDATE : FTP is working now, what I did was :

1). RESET the SmartHub.
2). Redownload the latest version of SamyGo USB and follow instructions at viewtopic.php?uid=21549&f=49&t=5859&start=0 once again.

This time is worked.

Now, I will try to mount my Samba share located at 192.168.1.104 with name "XYZ", I can see from instructions above that I need to edit /mnt/etc/init.d/04_04_samba.init file with SERVER="192.168.1.104" and SHARES="XYZ". Will see how this go and update.

Thanks a lot for support guys.

This is the way to do it. Help yourself Fine that it is going on... positively!

If FTP is working its just a matter of time and you are done ....
