On Ubuntu 9.04 (up to date) I did this:
- create a folder in home dir
- right click it and select "Sharing Options"
- in the dialog enabled "Share this folder"
- OK'ed the dialog saying to install sharing components, entered password
- in a dialog telling me that a restart of session is needed, I clicked
"Restart"
Expected result: Being able to access the shared folder from other PC
Actual result: When trying to open the shared folder on other PC
(Windows XP Pro SP3) it pops up a dialog asking for username and
password. I enter my username and password that I use on the linux box,
but it just shows the same dialog again.
The share (also new created ones) appears in the My Network Places, I
just can not open it due to authentication failure.
That was yesterday. Since then I shut down my Ubuntu box and todey I
started it again. Now, sharing works as expected: I click the share on
the Windows PC, it asks for user/pass, I enter it, and voila, I have
access to shared files.
It seems the mentioned "restart" button does not do its work properly.
