Is there any fix for this yet, I have a steam game and it gets installed everyday block all my shares.

Or does anyone know how to block it from getting installed?

Don't know about that but I was able to mount my shares in Ubuntu with cifs.

My solution was to uninstall it completely, hide the update then install pidgin Big Grin

it's a lightweight open source universal chat client which is very nice! No more smb trouble Cool

This might be an option for you?

Command this...

Code:
wget http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/libsmbclient_3.5.6~dfsg-3ubuntu3_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i libsmbclient_3.5.6~dfsg-3ubuntu3_i386.deb

(source post 26: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=85626&page=3 cept the right link posted above)

Haven't tried the latter solution. Whatever works for you. Ever since using the final Dharma Live build, it works either way. Hope that helps Nod

I managed to fix this by removing the software then creating a blank folder and changing the permissions so that I can not write to it which has stopped windows being able to reinstall it Smile

This didn't work for me - the link above is dead, and has been replaced with a newer version named libsmbclient_3.5.6~dfsg-5ubuntu1_i386.deb

When I tried to install the newer version, I got an error message about a dependency on libtalloc2 requiring a later version.

So I updated both to the current versions ( as found on http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/ and http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/talloc/ ) with the following commands :

Code:
wget http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/talloc/libtalloc2_2.0.5-1_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i libtalloc2_2.0.5-1_i386.deb

wget http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/libsmbclient_3.5.6~dfsg-5ubuntu1_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i libsmbclient_3.5.6~dfsg-5ubuntu1_i386.deb

and voila - SMB now works fine again !

Many thanks to the original poster.
