Hi Mélanie
If your Samba share was /home/xxx/Papers, and you tried to browse /home/xxx,
that would not be a Samba share and therefore would be unavailable. Is that
what you mean?
Try making a subdirectory several deep, INSIDE /home/xxx/Papers, and see if
you can navigate that within LyX. Also, whatever you navigated in LyX to
produce this problem, try it from Windows Explorer (they still have Windows
Explorer, don't they?) and see if anything funky happens there.
