I had the same thing just now. I have Ubuntu server 8.04 sharing a partition via samba. I connected to the drive from "places->network" and browsing to it. I then put in a blank cdrom and tried to drag some files from the samba drive directly to the blank cd, the first folder copied, but as soon as it attempted to copy a file I got the "operation not supported by backend"
After trying a few more times, I copied the files from my samba drive to my desktop, then from the desktop to the cdrom worked just fine. -- Nautilus tries to copy a dragged file into Network on hover and freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205773 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
