Re: [MLUG] Connect to samba server from Ubuntu

Is this related to Nautilus on Ubuntu?  In other words, if I use a different file manager, like Dolphin, or BeeSoft Commander, etc., could I get around the issue?

Thanks!

Hi,
This is the link I was talking about:

http://9w2tpt.blogspot.com/2009/11/samba-34ubuntu-910-problem.html

I did update the package, but I still have the issue. I'll continue to investigate, although probably for a few days.

Good luck!

Jeremy

I think this is a known bug with the SMB package in 9.10. I have the same issue and have not resolved it. I'm away from my computer, but I seem to recall reading about it.

Can anyone point me to a good tutorial on connecting to a samba server from Ubuntu?

-------

I put an Ubuntu 9.10 Server into a Windows domain, installed Samba, and shared it for people to read files.  Set samba permissions that everyone can see files and a specific samba user can add/delete files.

From a windows machine, I can see the Ubuntu samba server, view the files, and if I connect with the specific samba user credentials, I can also add/delete files.

From an Ubuntu workstation I can see the server, but I cannot see the share or the files.

Is there some package I need to install on the Ubuntu 9.10 workstation in order to see and browse samba shares?

I want to be able to connect to the Ubuntu samba server share from the Ubuntu workstation to browse and add/delete files using the specific samba user account which I created on the Ubuntu samba server.

Suggestions?
