It appears that people are having better luck with 32 bit ubuntu (I am running 64 -bit and worked fine) 

Did you try and mount the share from your windows machine? If yes then the share obviously works.

Must be something wrong with the wireless config on the phone.

Try deleting the wireless profile on your phone and reboot for sanity, then add your wireless connection back to the phone.

Just trying to verify everything works wirelessly.

Go to the help menu on Ubuntu, update check, install updates the try again.

Or go to 12.10 ......

[livinginkaos]

With the 12.4 and newer, it shouldn't matter between 32 and 64 as it should be multi arch. I think the main thing is doing the updates if on 12.4. Mine wouldn't work until I did them either on 12.4

help pls!

I am on a live dvd ubuntu 12.04.2 lts

what to do?

I do believe you are running on a read only operating system, no place to add anything since it is a DVD.

As you can see the packages want to be installed but can't be.

You will need a USB install so you can add the samba packages.

I have 12.10

[SirEagle]

Problem appears to be that I can not connect to the share folder from phone or windows pc.

Eagle - are you running 32 or 64? Im not disputing Kaos's theory (no pun intended) but 64 didn't work for me...

I was referring to the other gent. Your issue is with your network connection.

Ok then something is not correct on the installation of samba retrace your steps on the instructions in the OP. verify everything was done.

 

to verify samba is actually running type this

 

sudo ps -ef |grep -i smb

You are looking for something along these lines.

root      3032     1  0 Apr22 ?        00:00:00 smbd -F

root      3036  3032  0 Apr22 ?        00:00:00 smbd -F

 

That means samba is running so it is more than likely the either the password or the config is incorrect.

 

 

 

[livinginkaos]

Something else to also confirm is that your Ubuntu IP conforms to your networks IP 192.168.0.X or 192.168.1.X etc.

Yes it does

Samba is not running.

Try this

sudo restart smbd

 

Then do 

sudo ps -ef | grep -i smb

 

It should give you output like I showed prior.

If not then then samba config is not correct.

[jgattonii]

Dumb question incoming; please delete if too much so... Just asking for my own curiosity: why does the samba have to be setup locally?

Needs to have a place to launch from and part of the exploit method.

 

Plus it does not work from windows, period per the source!

- the hole into the right permissions is thru the remote storage folders.  The only way to get that to work is to connect to a server so the files end up migrating and commands run thru the connection

When I do "sudo restart smbd"

it returns "restart: Unknown job: smbd"

Then the same line as I had before.

[SirEagle]

Early on when I ran "sudo apt-get install samba" it wasn't available and I had to run "sudo apt-get install samba-common-bin smbclient samba common" instead.

Thank you Kaos. So basically, its "only" the most important reason that this exploit works?

[hadeshorn9]

When I do "sudo restart smbd"

it returns "restart: Unknown job: smbd"

Then the same line as I had before.

SirEagle you need to start the live installation again. Are you running from a DVD or usb drive?

If DVD I do not think that is going to work as there is no place to install samba to begin with. It has to be on a USB live drive per the instructions.
