Well as usual in the Linux world we see bug reports being closed when the problem has not been fixed. If you try to use smbmount (ie mount.cifs) in Jaunty it still fails when trying to save files.
Notice the person who said it was "fixed" had to change their configuration to get it to work! That's a kludge to their system to work around a bug in Ubuntu. No-one should have to change any parameters to smbmount or fstab to get their SMB shares mounted when the same commands worked fine in Hardy. Clearly a bug has been written between Hardy and Intrepid and is still here in Jaunty. My (former) Hardy and (present) Jaunty configuration uses this Sessions startup command: smbmount '\\192.168.1.2\public' /home/andrew/naspublic -o guest This worked fine in Hardy Heron, but neither GEdit nor OpenOffice nor Audacious can save changes to files opened from the mountpoint. They should be treated identically to any other filesystem file, and I repeat it worked perfectly in Hardy. There's three short-term workarounds, none of which are nice: A) Uninstall Jaunty and go back to Hardy, or B) Switch to using Windows XP, or C) Copy to local drive, edit, copy back. Option B actually is the easiest since I dual boot Windows anyway and could install Microsoft Windows version of OOo. Would prefer it if Ubuntu programmers could just fix the bug they added. -- can't save file in samba share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293548 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
