Well, after examining the samba logs, seems this is actually some sort of permissions problem. I don't know why unfortunately since I already tried smbpasswd -a <user> on the server, using the username of the account on the client computer.
What baffles me is that using an identical smb.conf on an Ubuntu server works hassle-free, with no passwords and no errors. Only with Xubuntu does the permissions problem occur. The 'Contents could not be displayed' error in the GUI is also quite uninformative. At any rate, my problem seems unrelated to that described in bug #91221, but is maddening nonetheless. Seems like Ubuntu and Xubuntu would function identically here, but they just don't. -- kde samba sharing doesn't work https://launchpad.net/bugs/95452 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
