Hi,
I’m wanting to use antiX 13.2 on a very old PC to act as a simple fileserver for Windows clients on my home network. I’ve been able to get this working on another PC running antix 19, but I don’t think the SAMBA server software gets installed as part of the 13.2 ISO install (service –status-all doesn’t list “samba” or “smbd” or anything similar). How do I get the SAMBA server package installed (and running) on antiX 13.2?
Thanks very much

did you try to install it from apt ?
apt-get install sambaAnonymous

Several of these video tutorials show samba-related stuffs for 13.2did you try to install it from apt ?
apt-get install sambaI hadn’t tried that, so I gave it a go:
root@aquamarine:# apt-get install samba Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package samba is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: samba-common-bin smbclient samba-common E: Package 'samba' has no installation candidate root@aquamarine:# apt-get install samba-common Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done samba-common is already the newest version. The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: libqt4-gui Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. root@aquamarine:# apt-get install samba-common-bin Reading package lists...

Any other ideas?

Several of these video tutorials show samba-related stuffs for 13.2Thanks, but the tutorial for running a SAMBA server (“AntiX 13 – connectshares and LinuxLite Samba Server – Part I – LinuxLite Samba Server”) does so using Linux Lite (rather than antiX), which comes with a server restart script (which appears to restart the smbd service) but it doesn’t explain how to get the SAMBA server/smbd software installed.
Similarly, the other tutorial (“MX-14 – Create Samba Shares via Manual Method”) does so using MX-14 where the command “service samba restart” is used, but again it doesn’t explain how to install the SAMBA service.
Surely there must be some way to actually install the SAMBA/smbd service???
I couldn’t recall, had to go lookitup –} antiX 13.2 was based on debian 7(aka “Wheezy”)
a websearch “debian wheezy install samba” led me to the following
https://www.howtoforge.com/samba-server-install-on-debian-7-wheezy
To install samba:
apt-get install samba samba-common libcups2

It’s almost certain that the repos are no longer available.
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

It’s almost certain that the repos are no longer available.
Is there any way I can tell if the repos are still available?
The reason I’m using antiX 13.2 is because I need a really lightweight (the machine has an AMD GX3 L3 500MHz CPU with 512MB RAM) and reliable non-PAE distro. Are there other/better contenders?

Can you post the various repos used, I can’t remember?
inxi -r might work

Yeah, probably inaccessable via apt-get. AFAIK, the latest release file is dated early 2017.
You can try browsing the archive, download the debfiles and install via sudo dpkg -i (or sudo gdebi-gtk?)

http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/samba/What version of each package is suitable for a wheezy-based install?
Idunno, so would download + inspect the Packages.gz file from here:
http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/binary-i386/seaken64
I am running antiX-16 and antiX-17 on similarly powered computers. One is a P-III with 384MB RAM. Have you tried one of the Jessie versions?
