[Bug 1574403] Re: Get an error 255 when trying to share a folder in Ubuntu 12.04.

[Marc Deslauriers]

Hi,

I have uploaded a samba package for precise to the following PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~mdeslaur/+archive/ubuntu/testing

Could you please give it a try? I believe it may fix this issue, and if
tested successfully, I will release it as a regression update.

Thanks!
