After removing the tick box from the Nautilus sharing option and sharing the folder through the shares-admin tool, the folder is once again shared.
Nautilus does not show that the folder is shared. Sharing the folder in Nautilus, while it is shared using shares-admin, results in a shared folder. Stopping the folder from being shared in Nautilus, while the folder is still shared in shares-admin results in the folder vanishing from the network. /etc/samba/smb.conf and shares-admin both show the folder as shared, but it's not visible. Reloading samba does not fix this problem. Resharing the folder in shares-admin results in the folder being available. The workgroup remains the same (WORKGROUP), even if it's changed in shares-admin. -- Shared Folders Administration Tool does not show Nautilus Shares https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297848 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
