[Bug 255408] Re: ushare reports eth1 as down yet is working just fine

[greeneggs7]

Same problem with eth0.

~$ ushare
Interface eth0 is down.
Recheck uShare's configuration and try again !

Looking for files in content directory : ~/movies
scandir: No such file or directory
Found 2 files and subdirectories.

eth0 is most definitely not down. I'm using it to connect to the
internet to write this right now. The output above uses the
/etc/ushare.conf file for ushare config. On line #22 I've specified
USHARE_DIR=~/movies as my default directory. The above output is
incorrect in saying that I have only 2 files and subdirectories in
~/movies/. I have 18.

If I run ushare -c ~/movies ushare reports finding 21 files and
subdirectories, which is closer to the correct number, but still wrong.
Attached is my ushare.conf file.

ifconfig reports:

Google searches primarily return suggestions about changing
USHARE_IFACE. But that is mostly for people who want to change their
interface to use their wireless networks.

This Ubuntu Forums archive seemed to be going somewhere but then just
stopped. It does explain the problem I and others are having though.
