Linux Overrides TrueNas Domain server, Terminology?

TrueNAS General
1

Sorry but I don’t know the terminology:

In the past I have had no issue with Linux but recently I reinstalled Linux Mint Cinnamon with Linux Mint Xfce on same PC and the following happens.

If I boot Linux first then boot Truenas core, Truenas SMB Workgoup will not show on network media players. This only happens if Linux PC boots first. Windows does not create this problem and the old version of Linux Mint also did not create this problem.

If I then disconnect Linux network cable and reboot TrueNas, TrueNas Workgroup is Master even after I reconnect the Linux network cable, as it should be.

How do I stop Linux from preventing TrueNas as the main Domain server or force TrueNas to take over, if terminology is right. Also, If it means anything I have always had ‘Local Master’ box checked.

Platform: Generic

Version:

TrueNAS-13.0-U6.7

HostName: truenas.local

Do you need to run a Samba server on that Linux system?

No, as I also can’t check now but Samba shouldn’t be installed. From memory you always have to install Samba on Linux as it doesn’t come pre-installed.

Just go and check to be sure :wink:

Looks like SAMBA is installed, so I just added the following lines to /etc/samba/samba.conf Under the Global section which has fixed the issue.

local master = no
preferred master = no
os level = 25

Thanks.
