For what it's worth, I experienced this problem trying to set up a two- way share with a Windows 7 machine. I'm running Ubuntu Studio 10.04. I installed samba (via the Software Centre) and could see the machine in Places>Network but all I could see when double clicking on the icon for the machine was ADMIN$ and C$. Double clicking on either of these brought up the password pop-up and the attendant problems above. To cut a longish story short, I went here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaClientGuide and found out that the standard 'Software Centre' install of samba (on my machine) did not include 'nautilus-share' (I had no trouble getting access to the machine from the Windows client). I installed nautilus- share and tried again. This time opening the machine on Places>Network I could see ADMIN$, C$ and Users. Double clicking on the Users folder brings up the password pop-up which works fine - I have access to that directory and all its contents (even though some have the lock icon. Trying to open either of the other directories does not work, however (same problem). One quirk is that the pop-up comes up twice, even if you cancel. Hope this is of some use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510059 Title: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/510059/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
