[Bug 995817] Re: share samba doesn't work easily

[James Page]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug in Ubuntu.

I might be missing the point but I could not reproduce this:

"Share a folder in a simple domestic network need to check the share item in the folder properties.
Ubuntu ask to install samba and libpam-smbpass. After reboot and check this item again, Ubuntu ask to change the permissions.
After this point, it should work ! It would be quite easy."

I could not find any options in the standard file manager on my 12.04
install todo this - could you explain in a bit more detail?

With regards to;

"2 more things were necessary :
I had to add system-config-samba and add again the share folders."

I was able to configure shares using system-config-samba - that worked
fine (and I think is probably the correct way todo it).

With regards to:

"From the other computer (with Ubuntu) I must connect with the IP adress
to see these share folders !"

I suspect that something is incorrect in your local network or samba
configuration; its worth checking to see if you can resolve the hostname
of the system you are trying to connect to from the client:

   hostname <samba target>

Marking 'Incomplete' pending your response.  Please set the status back
to 'New' once you have provided the requested information about how you
tried to configure samba sharing first.

Thanks

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

  It doesn't !

  Is it normal ? Thanks !
