Instead of starting nautilus with sudo, I restarted my PC first and see if I would still get the error message. My guess was correct, because after restarting nautilus-share didn't give an error message anymore when I tried to create a share following the same procedure as before.
I think it's important to mention that I tried creating the share for the first time just after nautilus-share had downloaded the necessary samba packages (I was using a fresh install of 8.04.1, and samba isn't installed by default). I guess that the restart somehow fixed samba's configuration so that nautilus-share didn't give me the error message anymore. -- gnome share folder gui seriously flawed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216738 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
