That Name Already Exists On The Network

I cannot install Ubuntu at all. when I type in a computer name, it doesn’t matter what I type I get the following error «That Name Already Exists On The Network» I tried things such as Riding-Moltres Reshiram-Love-Justin Justinrpg Cat-Team-Force-Plus all those come up with the same error, even typing random numbers makes that error come up. nothing works.

Re: That Name Already Exists On The Network

I don’t recognise that error. Just to be clear — is this in the installer, or somewhere else? What version of Ubuntu?

Re: That Name Already Exists On The Network

It is whatever version that I dowloaded from the official site today, I am installing it on a VM. this is in installation, that error appears next to the text box ‘Computer name’ with an X and in red letters

Re: That Name Already Exists On The Network

I’ve not heard of anything like that before. While we wait to see if anyone else has a good idea, can I suggest that you try some different network settings in the VM? I can only guess that Ubuntu is seeing its own transmissions being returned to it and is mistaking them for another computer.

It may help if people know which type of VM you are using.

Re: That Name Already Exists On The Network

I see it on every 11.10 and I believe every 11.04 install I’ve done. i just ignore it 8). We have 3 machines that do not have any sort of sharing enabled except for printer networking which is not enabled when this messages appears. Each machine has a distinct name. I assume it’s some sort of innocuous bug. I don’t recall seeing it on Xubuntu or Lubuntu so it appears to be an Ubuntu thing. I’ve only installed gnome distros so don’t know if this error occurs with KDE or not.

SOLVED: Can’t browse windows network or mount shares

SOLVED: Can’t browse windows network or mount shares

Post by jmann11 » Tue Jul 04, 2017 8:22 pm

Up until today, I had no problem browsing my windows network from my linux machine (LM 18.1 cinnamon), including accessing and mounting shares on windows computers. (all other computers on my network are windows). Today, via the file explorer «Network» -> «Windows Network» I don’t see anything.

However, from my linux machine, I am still able to ping the windows machines by ip address AND name. Moreover, I am able to remote access the windows machines using remmina. I double checked that my workgroup name is set correctly in smb.conf, and that all of the computers are on the same subnet.

If that doesn’t fix it try to access the Windows box directly — by name:

Did you do anything to the firewall on Windows?

Did you disable SMB1 support on Windows? Samba / SMB network browsing and SMB1 are linked. You cannot have one without the other.

Re: Can’t browse windows network or mount shares

Post by jmann11 » Wed Jul 05, 2017 2:14 pm

Thanks for the recommendations. I already tried all of the steps in the recommended checklist, but to no avail. I also tried «nemo smb:\\(ip address of windows machine) and that didn’t work. I received the following error:

«Could not display «smb://(ip address of linux computer)»

Error: Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out
Please select another viewer and try again»

I tried rebooting my router (Asus) and while I could temporarily see the windows machines on the network, I couldn’t access the shares. Also, after rebooting my linux box, I can no longer see the windows machines.

Connecting to any samba / smb server by ip address is the «purest» way to do this and something is fundamentally wrong here. It really sounds like a networking problem not a samba problem especially since 24 hours earlier everything was working.

Run a test please. Open a terminal and run — substituting the Windows ip address for 192.168.0.100:

I ran the «smbclient» commands, and in both cases I got:

«session setup failed: NT_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES»

Nothing else changed on my network, and Windows machines can all see each other and access shares. Perhaps it is my router.

Re: Can’t browse windows network or mount shares

Post by jmann11 » Thu Jul 06, 2017 12:24 am

I booted from a usb with linuxmint 18.1, and I am able to access shares on some windows machines. However, I am still running into an issue with the main machine of concern. When I try the smbclient command, I receive the following error:

«protocol negotiation failed: ERRDOS:ERRnomem»

So it must be something with this specific Windows box.

Re: Can’t browse windows network or mount shares

Post by altair4 » Thu Jul 06, 2017 7:44 am

I offer the following with reservations. I am not a big fan of messing with the internal plumbing of a Windows box.

I collect error messages and when I see new ones I save reported solutions in case I ever find myself with that error. Here are two that I have in my records — each one relating to a different error message — and each one pointing to the same solution.

In the 15 or so years that I have been using samba I never had to make a Windows registry edit to make things work but I never had your problem and I never used these «fixes» to see if they work. I offer them here because I don’t think there is anything you can do on the Linux end of this problem.

Re: Can’t browse windows network or mount shares

Post by jmann11 » Thu Jul 06, 2017 10:58 pm

Thanks altair4 — the regedits did the trick! I also needed to reinstall smbclient, but that is likely because I messed up my samba configuration during my troubleshooting (doh!).

As a note for others, if you do reinstall smbclient and samba components, make sure that gvfs-backends is installed or nemo (and other file explorers) won’t work for browsing the network.

Local network hosts not resolved since Mint 19

Local network hosts not resolved since Mint 19

Post by Pheeble » Fri Nov 02, 2018 6:52 pm

I have a local network of (currently) six computers. One is running dnsmasq in Ubuntu Server 16.04 to provide static addresses and host names for the network client computers. Client computers running Linux Mint 18.3 XFCE resolve local host names perfectly without any manual configuration required.

I performed a clean install of Linux Mint 19 XFCE on one client. It gets the correct static IP address, but it is unable to resolve any other local client host names. For example, the server’s host name is ’emachine’, aka 192.168.0.10. In Mint 18.3 ‘ping emachine’ works as expected. In Mint 19, however, the response is ‘ping: emachine: Name or service not known’.

If I run ‘dig @192.168.0.10 emachine’, the correct address is returned. This also works for any other client on the network.

If I insert ‘192.168.0.10 emachine’ into ‘/etc/hosts’ the name resolution works, but I would prefer not to have to edit the ‘etc/hosts’ file on every computer each time the network changes.

From what I have read this seems to be an issue with Ubuntu 18.04 using systemd for name resolution. Unfortunately I have not found any simple solutions to fix this problem.

Is there any way to make Linux Mint 19 work with my dnsmasq server as easily as it did in Linux Mint 18.3 and previous versions?

You can access the Network Manager In Linux Mint by clicking, or right clicking, its icon in the system tray panel in the lower right. The screenshot below is for my Linux Mint KDE system. In KDE just regular click this icon to access it.

To access the Network Manager Connection Editor settings, click the «wrench» in the upper right.
To edit an existing connection, click the «wrench» that appears on the right when mousing over a connection, or from the Network Manager’s Connection Editor.

Hope this helps .

Due to my recent excessive spring yard work, I haven’t been able to respond to your generous help as soon as I would have liked to. I wish to thank you all very much and also to offer my sincere apology.

LM17.1 returns
» NetworkManager is already running (pid 795 )»
I don’t know what to do at this point.

(2) ALT-F2 is exactly what I was looking for, namely the graphical version of Network Manager. It opens Network Connections showing both Ethernet and Wireless entries.

LM17.1 returns only LM17.1 Distro information .

(4) Unfortunately my LM17.1 Desktop fails to show any network icon and I hesitate to re-install LM17.1 lest I may need to restore importantly personal files afterwrds. I still remember seeing it long ago. I must have done something wrong inadvertently to cause its disappearance. The network icon would be my ideal way to use Network Manager. This is what I use on my Ubuntu systems in configuring networks and obtaining network information.

1.) The command that most of us here would like to see when you make a post or a reply is «inxi -Fxzd» which provides a lot of good information on your system in addition to which edition and version of Linux Mint that you have in your signature.

2.) I do not see how you could have lost the Network Manager Icon in the system tray panel in KDE.

These should be installed in the Synaptic Package Manager (SPM) by default:
network-manager, plasma-nm, plasma-widget-networkmanager

Note: If you are also using a VPN, when you search for «network manager» in the (SPM), make sure «openVPN» and any other VPN protocol that you use or want to use is also installed.

The Network Manager appears to be installed. You can check your «system tray settings» by right clicking the upper portion of the system tray panel just below the top line on the right to the left of the clock, and click «System Tray Settings», see screenshots. You can check to see if the «Network Manager» is «checked» in the «Display» options, and you can click «entries» to change visibility as well.

Hope this helps .

Thanks so much for your excellent suggestion of using ‘inxi -Fzxd’ while seeking help with system problems. I’ll try to adhere to this practice.

A moment ago I tried to attach two image files showing my Synaptic findings and inxi report but this forum persistently considered them too large. They are each about 135 KB in size.

Slow me. I’ve been using ‘convert -resize’ every now and then, but didn’t think of resizing the .jpg files this time.
Now the files are small enough (less than 100 KB ) to be accepted by the forum. Thanks very much.

Re: [Solved] Where is Network Manager Hidden in Linux Mint 17.1?

Post by phd21 » Sat Apr 30, 2016 11:29 pm

I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well.

1.) RE: Posting results of «inxi -Fxzd», or another console terminal command, is just as easy I stated before, use your mouse to highlight the results, then right click and select «copy», then you click on your browser where you have a forum post or reply open, and just right click and «paste». Do not use a screenshot or image for terminal command results, because then another user cannot copy portions of that as text for a response to you.

See video Images below: Just click image below, or right click image and open in a new tab.

2.) FYI: Regarding uploading an image in a post that is over 100kb in size, I sure wish the forum administrators would change this, because before the forum upgrades, anyone could post an image up to around 740kb, like a normal screenshot without editing it first. In order to post an image now, you have to edit the image to reduce its overall size, and or use a jpg (jpeg) image format with high compression (= lower quality 50% or less). My screen resolution is 1440 x 900 (which is small by today’s standard), so my screenshots are this size as well, and they average in size from 225kb to over 360kb, which is well beyond the new and ridiculously low forum image upload size.

I use «Kolourpaint» for simple and fast image editing. Click «Image» in toolbar, «resize/scale», then «smooth scale», keep aspect ratio, scroll percentage down to 83% (1197×747), then I click «File», «Export», pick «jpeg» format «.jpg (jpeg)» with a quality setting of 60-40, until it is less than 98kb and will fit in this forum. I have my file manager open to my image folder to verify the file sizes while doing this. It is a pain to have to do this for every image. But, once you have done 1-2 images, it is pretty quick. See my screenshots below.

You can use almost any image editor for this, but I find that «Kolourpaint» is very fast and super easy to use. The only other choice I know of, is to upload the images to an image hosting website, like «imgur», tinypic», postimage.org, etc. and then post the link back to the forum website, but then the image is not visible in the post. I know there are «phpBB» add-ons that can display images, videos, & audio from internal or external websites in the forum’s posts and replies, but the people maintaining this forum have to add it.

Well, I stand corrected on external links to images not showing up in the forum now. Thank you. Before when I put links to external images, it seemed that only the hyper-link (URL) to the image was visible and not the related image, except regarding the user’s avatar, perhaps I was mistaken. I noticed that your images are all in the «.png» image format, does that work for the other image formats, like the smaller «.jpg» and «.gif» files?

I still know that it is much easier for users, especially new users, that do not have much experience with image editing to be able to take a screenshot (print screen) and be able to upload (add) that directly into the forum, like they used to be able to do before the recent forum updates, without having to edit the image through the command line, or through a graphical (GUI) image editing program, or uploading the image to an external image hosting website and getting a hyper-link (URL) address and copying that back into the forum; especially if they are having a problem with something. The image size currently allowed for uploading to this forum is less than 100kb, extremely small, and a little more than 7 times less (1/7th) of what it used to be. It is fairly obvious from some user’s comments, that it is frustrating them to not be able to upload their images directly into the forum without having to edit the image first.

If you go to the «phpBB» website, this forum’s software (like I have done), you will see some pretty cool add-ons & extensions, including some that can show images, video, & audio from internal and external sources. Perhaps some of these are already now in place (installed). I think I saw one add-on that can even automatically resize, or compress, images when uploading (adding) to the forum, but even then I think the default image size allowed should be reset to something larger than 100kb, at least what it was before (around 740kb), or maybe even larger since today’s hard drives are low-cost and have a lot of space available. If you resize and shrink (compress) an image too much, then it is difficult for some users to see it properly.
