2016-03-03 Thread Daniel U. Thibault
Public bug reported: If you use shares-admin to share a folder via NFS (Shared Folders: Shared Folders: Add) and you pick out a path that includes embedded spaces, the string is included verbatim (that is, without escaping the spaces) in the configuration (/etc/exports in particular), and thus the

It's really a sad state of affairs that this bug reveals. The Linux community seems to be disintegrating, each clan blaming the others for whatever. Ubuntu looked like a viable alternative to the big guys, but with flat-out failures like this one, it's beginning to look doomed. Forget clannishne

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus (Possibly a Samba bug rather than a Nautilus one) When copying a file from a window opened on a remote share (using Samba) and then pasting into some other (local) location, if the file already exists the usual Cancel/Skip/Replace dialog pops up

I was sure I had seen someone explaining the problem as arising from xarchiver, but I seem to have been mistaken. I now understand (I'm new to this bugs.launchpad) that this bug had been assigned to multiple applications (file-roller and xarchiver). In that sense, xarchiver is possibly blameless

Definitely not "invalid", inasmuch as the original (Unicode-named) files are NOT recreated by xarchiver. ** Changed in: xarchiver (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to file-roller

Charlie is mincing words to get around the problem of facing the issue. The bug is valid, because xarchiver is NOT unzipping the contents of the archive: it is copying its contents to seemingly randomly-named other files. The original zipped files are NOT recovered: you get other-named files with
