[Bug 562960] [NEW] folder sharing in gnome not working in Lucid

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Trying to share a folder on desktop called "shared", the required
software is installed and all seems well.

Options selected are :

Share this folder: ticked
Share name: shared
Comment: Random Shares
Allow others to create and delete files in this folder: not ticked
Guest access: ticked

When trying to access share from windows the share is viewable using the
\\ipadddress, however when clicking on it windows displays a message:

Share is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if
you have access permissions.

No network provider accepted the given network path

My /var/og/samba/ log file contains the following:

  process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/shared failed. Permission denied
[2010/04/14 13:35:11,  0] smbd/service.c:988(make_connection_snum)
  canonicalize_connect_path failed for service shared, path /home/username/Desktop/Shared

** Affects: samba (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Incomplete
