Public bug reported: I've a NAS with samba server and there are no problems if i use it from a windows xp client.
With Ubuntu Hardy, i search the shares with nautilus, i find them in the workgroup and i mount them also, but... after few minutes i lost the connection, even if i use the mounted share (e.g.: transferring data to/from the NAS). I get some errors by the applications when using files stored on the NAS server. The system say that are no applications for open the file (mime: octet-stream). I've tried to add the ip address of the NAS in my /etc/hosts file and /etc/lmhosts file, and i've tried to associate type octet-stram with application "Open Folder" in Nautilus. Now i seem to have reduced the problem, so i get no data from the share after some minutes (like a timeout) but i no get the others errors and messages. To get back the connection i now i have to refresh/recall many times the shares with nautilus. Using the share on a samba server of another Ubuntu box, i have no problem, other than the error i get when i make the bookmark (the same message i get when i bookmark the NAS shares, sorry i have no data for posting exactly the message now). Any idea? ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mount nas nautilus network samba shares timeout ubuntu -- Impossible to correctly use Samba Shares on a NAS with Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
