After upgrade to Fedora 24: Can not login to smb share

Samba config file


We all know usual samba configuration and all, I am using fedora from 14th version to till now.

Recently i have faced an issue with smb share when i have upgraded to fedora 24 from 23.

The issue was i cant login to samba shares. The login window returns to its starting position after i gave the username ans password.

I have searched a lot for a solution to this problem and i found it at last.


The issue is,after upgrade there is a line adding automatically to global section of

/etc/samba/smb.conf  file

"client use spnego = no"

Either you can comment this out or make it yes, then restart samba using

systemctl restart smb.service
systemctl restart nmb.service 

That's it problem solved....!!

Openoffice 4.1.2/4.1.3 crashes on fedora 24

The issue:

Openoffice crashes when launching the application

(/opt/openoffice4/program/soffice: line 121: 5646 
Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@")

Solution :

It is actually a bug

It is related to some gtk2 libraries

Step 1
~]$ ldd -v /opt/openoffice4/program/libvclplug_gtk.so

Step 2
.....
       libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0 => not found
.....
if output like this comes out, install it using dnf

~]$dnf install gdk-pixbuf2-xlib

In my case it was gdk-pixbuf2-xlib* making the problem

Cheers
