Public bug reported: This isn't really a bug against ubiquity.
It's just that on installs of Kubuntu 16.04, the package "cifs-utils" IS installed but it is borked. MAYBE I AM MISTAKEN AND IT IS JUST A VERSION DIFFERENCE. But after reinstalling, mount -t cifs works as normal, but before reinstalling, it requires full parameters. ie. after reinstall, it is sufficient to type : mount //host/share /mnt -t cifs -o username=bla before, it requires: IP, and password on options line. So although I cannot check now; it seems that there were files missing from that package that ought to be installed. ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1593398 Title: cifs-utils corrupt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1593398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
