I have found a workaround for this, but it is still an issue in that it does not work as one would expect out of the proverbial box.
Here are the things I needed on the 12.04 LiveCD: 1. Install Samba via Dolphin (right-click a folder, then Properties, then the Share tab) 2. Created a lesser user This was simply a security precaution so my main user account password with sudo capability isn't saved on some smb-capable devices where it would be in plaintext. You may also be able to do this just by "sudo smbpasswd -a user" rather than creating an entire user account. 3. Logged in as user in order to create a password properly 4. Install NTFS-config (sudo apt-get ntfs-config) 5. "Sudo NTFS-config" and configure 6. "Sudo Dolphin" to share the folder, giving user full control. 7. "Sudo service smbd restart" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-baseapps in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994075 Title: NTFS partition/volume cannot be shared via SMB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-baseapps/+bug/994075/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
