Thread: Updated to Ubuntu 11.10, Samba slow with XBMC for Xbox

i had ubuntu 10.10 working fine using samba connect xbox xbmc through network. folder access time great , videos played no skipping. updated ubuntu 11.04 using update manager. updated ubuntu 11.10. computer got messed here decided install ubuntu 11.10 disc on current installation.

got working ok except xbox xbmc on network. browsing through folders takes 15 seconds per folder , videos lag now. doubt xbox xbmc problem because it's been working fine 2 years. when accessing ubuntu 11.10 computer through windows xp, works fine.

i've tried multiple setups of /etc/samba/smb.conf no luck of improving performance. ubuntu 11.10 problem or did setup incorrectly or forget something?

/etc/samba/smb.conf

code:

[global] workgroup = workgroup netbios name = server server string = server log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 map guest = bad user socket options = tcp_nodelay so_rcvbuf=8192 so_sndbuf=8192 local master = no dns proxy = no  [mythtv] path = /mythtv public = yes guest = yes writable = yes

/etc/hosts

code:

127.0.0.1    localhost 192.168.1.1    server  # following lines desirable ipv6 capable hosts ::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

/etc/hostname

code:

server

testparm -s

code:

yoda@server:~$ testparm -s load smb config files /etc/samba/smb.conf rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) minimum windows limit (16384) processing section "[mythtv]" loaded services file ok. server role: role_standalone [global]     server string = server     map guest = bad user     log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m     max log size = 50     socket options = tcp_nodelay so_rcvbuf=8192 so_sndbuf=8192     local master = no     dns proxy = no  [mythtv]     path = /mythtv     read = no     guest = yes     guest ok = yes

i don't recall ip6 in hosts, it's been awhile since i've looked @ old hosts file used (which not exist anymore).

appreciated.

ifconfig

code:
