I had the same problem but with a different approach: * I right click on my Public folder (which is located on my ~) and choose Share.. * I checked the "Share this folder" checkbox * Add some comments * Check the "Guest access" checkbox * Click on "Create Share" button
Then Nautilus shows me the following message: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share. I checked and my user has the sambashare group and this is the output of an "ls -l" on /var/lib/samba: drwxrwx--t 2 root sambashare 4096 2008-04-12 18:51 usershares/ I hope this helps. -Thiago -- Normal user cannot share folders from home, even if authorised https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41955 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
