In what manner are you trying to connect to those shares? According to your message, you've made a large number of changes to your configuration which are completely unrelated to this bug report, which is specifically about accessing SMB shares through the desktop (i.e., nautilus). To help you find a workaround for your specific problem requires first understanding what it is, precisely, that you're trying to achieve. Breaking down the changes you've tried: > 1-Add the following line to /etc/samba/smb.conf: > client lanman auth = yes This is only relevant when attempting to connect to servers which use old, insecure password hashes (Win9x and earlier, or Unix-based servers running very, very old versions of Samba - versions that, I would add, are completely unsupported by upstream in terms of security). > 2-installed gnome-vfs package I'm not sure which package this refers to precisely, as there is no binary package named 'gnome-vfs' in the archive. However, I believe this would only be useful as a debugging tool, as the current nautilus is integrated with gvfs rather than gnome-vfs. > 3- remove and re-install samba and samba-common and smbclient > using --purge The only package in this list which is involved with share browsing on the desktop is samba-common; but it would be extraordinary if any problems you were experiencing were caused by a mis-installation here. > 4- installed smbfs This package is only relevant to kernel-level mounts; it won't help with browsing shares from the desktop, except as a very awkward workaround. > Only way to view the windows server shares: > 1-typing in the server/share name in the address bar > 2-adding a (symlink?) under Places-> Connect to Server-> Windows Share So this leaves me absolutely puzzled as to what *isn't* working for you. If you are able to connect to the shares by this method, then I don't believe your problem is related to the complaint of the original user. It needs to be addressed in a separate bug report - possibly one that's already been opened, but without a more complete description of your problem, I don't know which. -- SMB error: Unable to mount location when server configured with security=share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209520 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
