This bug report was about attempting to share files in Nautilus- is that a 'root share' or a 'usershare'? I don't have the old setup to test any more. I've since rebuilt the computer and it now runs Debian Sid. The samba shares are the same, but I did not try to use Nautilus to set them up (I use xfce now). What I was trying to accomplish was an anonymous public read-only share on /media/share.

Samba currently doesn't work at all: when I try to connect, I get error could not download share list from server. When it does work (apparently at random), samba *always* prompts for a username and password, regardless of configuration. When configured with username and password, it sometimes works and sometimes does not. The workaround cited in my report stopped working a day or so later. I should have updated the report at that time, but the bug was marked 'invalid' anyway and I was too discouraged to mess with it any further.

[Bug 592610] Re: Shared folders (through Samba) when following instructions sometimes does not work correctly
I have discovered that using the GUI to share a folder (via right-clicking in Nautilus) does not make any changes to smb.conf - I'm not sure where the information is stored, but I'm guessing it's somewhere in gconf (a quick check in gconf-editor didn't turn it up, but I'm not a gconf expert). Splitting up configuration data like this is Bad and Wrong, especially if the share doesn't work right at first and the user then goes and edits smb.conf manually. If your testparm output does not agree with the output of net usershare logon then that could be a sign of this split configuration issue. IMO this is a bug in Nautilus (one I haven't filed yet, but that's my next stop). GNOME should not split configs. If config data *must* be kept in gconf then it should be sync'd with the existing config files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/592610 Title: Shared folders (through Samba) when following instructions sometimes does not work correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/592610/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 592610] Re: Shared folders (through Samba) when following instructions sometimes does not work correctly
Yes sir, still seeing it. Seems to be an issue when you've got at least two servers on the same subnet. Tell it to use 'bcast' before the system default (usually the isp's dns), in each smb.conf; and it works. There are several potential issues at work here. My first experience with SAMBA was with 11.04. After spending several hours on the Samba website learning about it and smb. It's clear that the changes necessary to make it just work in a gui browser necessitate a non-stock configuration for SAMBA. That is to say, knowing SAMBA as it was designed isn't enough to understand the Ubuntu implementation. This confuses the issue if one is trying to troubleshoot but has no access to documentation of what they did to make it work in Ubuntu. Another issue is the same old tired monster. The reason why so many Ubuntu veterans scream the battle-cry: Do A Clean Install!. Human error. Every version upgrade I've done has carried some problem or other that is most likely due to either a maintainer error in a previous revision, an error in the update itself, or lack of proper communication between maintainers (that documentation I mentioned earlier). So, somewhere along the development pipeline no one remembers that a smb- native server uses bcast to get what it needs: name-address resolution. Funny thing is, I went over 30 years of my life knowing next to nothing about tcp/ip. Then my first stab at SAMBA fails. Less then half-way through Tcp/Ip for Dummies, and I figured out the problem.

I update usually within a few hours of when I notice there is a notifications. I went to my home folder right clicked documents, clicked share options got asked for permission [root I guess], gave it told I needed other packages was asked if wanted to install the packages to do windows shares, clicked install Samba lib-something[dependency] installed I filled in the share popup the icon now shows an outstretched hand went to my other computer I don't see any other computers on the network? I go to network click through the menus, don't see anything that appears to be relevant I go to system[control center in mint] click Personal file sharing get a message this feature cannot be enabled Because the required packages are not installed on your system I go to help, which says I should go to startup preferences I scroll through the list see that personal file sharing is enabled at this point I'm at an impass, so I go have a look at synaptic type personal file sharing into search, no results change to file sharing, 65 results I scroll through the list see 9 of them are already installed File Gnome-user-share Giver Samba Common Libwclient Samba Common-bin Samba Client Samba I'll stop here for the time being at least on the PC which has not had a bunch of stuff installed at the very least the help file or on screen prompts should lead you to successfully sharing 1 folder, it should be a little more difficult to share the entire home folder just for security sake It's a shame to be so close not go the rest of the way with graphical method of file sharing that doesn't require finding information through searching forums or the rest of the internet. this basic task should be described adequately on help or through prompts/error messages within the process of right clicking a folder. I understand that when you deal with the intricacies of an operating system on a day to day basis, it can be difficult to look at things with the eyes of a newbie Let me know if there is any way I can help? :) -- Shared folders (through Samba) when following instructions sometimes does not work correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/592610 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Looks more like a name resolution and presence detection issue more than a configuration issue, so I'm reassigning to samba. ** Package changed: nautilus-share (Ubuntu) = samba (Ubuntu) -- Shared folders (through Samba) when following instructions sometimes does not work correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/592610 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
