I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS with the very latest updates and I also experienced this bug, which is the first time for me because usually nautilus-share just works. Maybe it will help if I give the complete (English) error message I have seen:
'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 assume that a workaround would be to start nautilus with sudo so I do have permissions. This is a clean install of 8.04.1 with updates and I didn't mess with the permissions myself, all I have got is one user with default permissions. I'm also quite surprised that this bug was reported in April, but that it is still present in Hardy? With all due respect for the Ubuntu developer's work, this seems like a high priority bug which should have been fixed already. Also, this bug is filed for the package meta-gnome2, but shouldn't it be filed for the package nautilus- share? -- gnome share folder gui seriously flawed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216738 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to meta-gnome2 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
