Since some automatic Lucid updates yesterday, Nautilus refusing to create shares thusly:
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. The connection was refused. Maybe smbd is not running. I can still access my windows shared folders from Lucid but all of my nautilus shares now don't work and can't be got to work. smbd -V reports Version 3.4.7 I executed command shares-admin and followed suggestion to install NFS and SMB, no improvement. Ubuntu Software Centre > Samba 1.2.63 didn't fix things either. Similar thing happened 4wks ago. I kept reverting back to a working fsa images of the system and re-installing updates. After a day or two something had changed in the updates and everything was back to normal again. For now, this time round, I can't see how to fix this. Workaround for me is as before to forget about nautilus-share functionality for a while, and keep reverting back to an fsa image that worked, in the hope that something changes in the automatic Lucid updates again, and Nautilus' handy sharing functionality works again. -- SMB folder sharing: very unclear error messages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573608 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
