Some observations: I can reproduce the original error when I use caja to create a share of my Public folder ( /home/tester/Public ).
The error log at /home/tester/Public/log.net is: "net usershare add: share name /home/tester/public contains invalid characters (any of %<>*?|/\+=;:",)" There are two things odd about that error message: I'm not sharing /home/tester/public. I'm sharing /home/tester/Public There are no invalid characters with that path. I should note that if I create the usershare manually in a terminal: ~$ net usershare add Public /home/tester/Public "" Everyone:F guest_ok=y I get no errors and the share is created successfully: ~$ net usershare info --long [Public] path=/home/tester/Public comment= usershare_acl=Everyone:F, guest_ok=y -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1972057 Title: file sharing net usershare returns error 255 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mate-desktop/+bug/1972057/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
