When trying to edit OS configuration files, you need to have root privileges. The command to use in this case is: gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
It will ask you for your password, just use the same password you use when you log into Ubuntu. For most help on these types of questions, you should join the ubuntu forums at ubuntuforums.org You will find a lot of very helpful people there. -- cannot browse samba shares without editing smb.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375593 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
