Well, apparently, and believe it or not, that driver is not compatible with using SMB under macOS Sierra, at least with my MAC.
#Mac mini server sierra install#
The thing is, "Intel HAXM accelerator" is one of the typical drivers you install if you want proper hardware acceleration of your emulators for Android developing. If you use your Sierra Mac to develop Android stuff you'll probably have installed the typical random needed modules (Android SDK's, emulators, drivers, etc.) You can reinstall HAXM in case you really need Hardware Acceleration for Android emulators again (but be prepared to lose SMB connectivity again (?)). Sudo /Library/Extensions/intelhaxm.kext/Contents/Resources/uninstall.shįollow the on-screen instructions, REBOOT, and you're done :)ĭoing that you'll lose hardware acceleration inside your Android emulators, but they will work in software-rendering mode. In case you have it (and in case you're also suffering SMB connectivity problems) you can uninstall it typing the following command, again, from an ordinary Terminal (no need to boot in Single-User mode): You can check if you have it installed with the following command from an ordinary Terminal: It might seem a random thing to add here, but maybe I'm not aware of some library I might have installed that might be known to be troublesome with the official OS X SAMBA client.Īfter 2 months of (moderate) misery I've finally found the reason SMB didn't work with my Sierra Mac Mini. In case it might be useful, I use MacPorts. I've read and googled many pages around and I'm more than lost. I don't have access to my company Samba Server machine and configuration. If I try that very exact command line onto a coworker machine, it just lists the shared resources hanging from that SMB server.Īny hint? Maybe it's something related to some service being disabled by mistake in my Mac mini? MacOS Sierra yields this: smbutil: server connection failed: No such file or directory If I try this on the command line: smbutil view smb:///docs/ If I ping this machine from my command line, I can see it perfectly. There are clonic Mac mini machines on the same floor (my coworkers' ones) and they can connect to this server without any problem. In my Console logs I can't detect any error related with samba (where should I be looking into?) If I try Finder > Connect to Server (using the URL stored there from previous successful connections), macOS Sierra complains with a more than useless "generic error". I'm at work, and my Mac mini has stopped being able to connect to the corporate SMB server shared folders.
