To other newbies around, here's the procedure I used to confirm. Steps 1-4 are not required, but I wanted to be extra careful:
1- Purge samba, samba-common, libpam-smbpass, and re-install smbclient (which pulls samba-common). 1'- remove the sambashare group 2- Logout, login 3- Try to create a usershare with nautilus, get notified of the need to install packages, accept, install 4- Notice the bug, logout, login, only then sharing is allowed, and shares work 5- remove user account from the sambashare group 6- install updated package 7- logout, login 8- Try to create a usershare with nautilus, get notified of the need to install packages, accept, install 9- get notified that a logout is needed, logout, login, sharing is allowed and shares work -- "easy" file sharing not notifying about logout/login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
