[Bug 282298] Re: [SRU] Intrepid: No Access to NAS (samba<=2.2.x) shares any more

[cosbear]

I have added the repo for the fix to my sources and downloaded and
installed all the updates but still cannot access any samba shares on
Ubuntu 8.10, Xubuntu 8.10 or the Mint based on 8.10, on both the 32 and
64 bit versions.  This includes Xubuntu 8.04 installs which I upgraded
to 8.10.  They had access to all shares before but not after the
upgrade.  Nothing else has changed on my lan as concerns hardware or
settings.  The only change was the upgrades.  The installs I have of
Xubuntu 8.04 still can access all my samba shares from boxes running XP
and from linux boxes running samba.  The Klikit-linux RC3 based on
Kubuntu Hardy can also access all the shares.  I can see the other samba
shares with 8.10 installs, I just cannot access them at all.  I have
simple sharing set up on all the boxes on my lan, and have never used
any passwords or users.  I have several boxes set up in my office and 1
in my living room.  They are connected with wired ethernet together with
two gigabit network switches one of which is connected to a wireless
router connected to a cable modem.  All use manually set dedicated IP
addresses.  I have tried using DHCP as well but no change.  The
workgroup on all shares is set to workgroup.

The problem is not in samba from what I can tell as all shares can
access shares on the 8.10 boxes with read/write permissions.  The
problem appears to be in smbclient or it's dependencies.  I have read
some conjecture in various places about the problem being with this or
that file manager, but I have the same problem with dolphin, konqueror,
and nautilus.  Nautilus gives this error:

Sorry, could not display all the contents of "Windows shares on
mediaserver": DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not
receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not
send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the
reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

If there is not a fix of some sort soon I'm giving up on 8.10 and going
back to 8.04 which works perfectly for me.  I hate to do it though
because otherwise I really like 8.10.  I'm really at wits end with this
issue.  Later... cos
