I experienced it both on the Kubuntu installer and on the Kubuntu installed system.
On that fresh install / live Session I used: mount -t cifs //host/share /mnt -o username=xen and it would complain about not having enough parameters. It wanted to have both password and ipaddress on the command line. After doing apt reinstall cifs-utils (or equivalent) the command succeeded as normal, and it asked me for the password on a prompt. -- 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/cifs-utils/+bug/1593398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
