I have attached the error message I'm getting when attempting to browse my smb shares. Here are ALL the steps I had to preform to get my samba share working (and I hope that nobody has to do this in Intrepid Ibex) - Note to developers: Please make this simpler for Grandma Ubuntu McEveryone. This is extremely complicated and should be simplified by the use of shares-admin.
1) Install packages on the server machine. sudo apt-get install samba samba-common 2) Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf scroll down to the section called #======================= Share Definitions ======================= browseable = yes read only = no 3)Create libuser configuration file touch /etc/libuser.conf 4)Add user to samba group adduser <username> sambashare 5)Add user password to samba user smbpasswd -a <username> 6) Right click folder > Sharing Options (turned everything on) 7)Restart Samba /etc/init.d/samba reload 8) On the client computer I had to go into a nautilus window's address bar and type in the folowing address to list the shares. smb://<username>@<servername> ** Attachment added: "Screenshot-nautilus.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15568427/Screenshot-nautilus.png -- [Hardy] Can't share files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214556 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
