Is the workgroup the same as your winxp machines? ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Ubuntu does not retain folder share settings. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399546 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in "samba" package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: there are only 2 accounts I use my ubuntu 9.04, Root to perform my admin duties and my other account "JC". Now when I have went over much literature getting to try and work but this seems to be a bug to me.. this is the issue; In the /home folder i have one folder which is my 'jc' folder. under my 'jc' folder i have attempted to 'share' my Documents folder and my Videos/Pictures/Music folders by right clicking on the folder, selecting sharing options, then selecting and checking off "share this folder" and 'allow other people to write to this folder' and 'Guest access (for people without a user account). I have also edited the /etc/samba/smb.conf as has been discussed on the ubuntu forums only changing in the file the workgroup to the workgroup i run called "The_Resistance". Now this is the bug.. after i set these settings, I reboot to ensure they are saved.. i come back into ubuntu desktop, go look at the folders I just shared to check their share settings and the "allow other people to write in this folder" is now NOT checked on any of the folders i shared. >From an XP computer I can't view folders that have files in them, however, i can enter folders that are empty. if thru XP i enter a folder that has files in on the ubuntu side, network neighbourhood in xp gives me the hourglass and then says an error has occured and the volume is no longer available. >From the ubuntu side, when I view files on the XP SP2 computer .. i can view the files but can't copy them or anythning.. I can just view the files in the directory. So basically I am unable to copy files back and forth between the two somewhat networked machines. I am able to view only empty folders in XP to Ubuntu and in Ubuntu to XP I can only see what's in the XP folders but nto copy them or view them when they are double clcked. The ubuntu system just stays stagnant. then I eventually have to close the window. you can email me at filivs_prodi...@rogers.com. Please fix this, I love this ubuntu.. i really do.. and your MO and not being a evil microsoft type company and your philosophy. Please tell me how to fix this if it isn't a bug and just a matter of settings between the the XP machine and the Ubuntu Machine..
