Absolutely. I have been thinking I couldn't connect at all to my windows pc, but after a few months I discovered I can through command line.
I also spoke to someone who is pretty much anti-windows, but he still needs windows compatibility for his job as software installer on Windows machines. He told me he didn't like Linux very much as a replacement, because 'it is hard to be compatible with Windows'. This is absolutely a showstopper, as many people have Windows pc's around in their network that need to be connected, even if they are not prepared to use the command line. Some just don't want to spend their time to learn using the command line, and just want it to work out of the box with a simple GUI. This is - if I'm right - one of the major goals of Ubuntu, and therefore this bug should be solved. I think the importance should be high. -- error when browsing an empty workgroup on smb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320547 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
