I see the same message "'net usershare' returned error 255" on a from- scratch beta-cd installation that has been updated to current as of this writing (Sa 12. Apr 0:00 CEST). No special changes have been made to the stock system in the context of file sharing, the only thing attempted was to enable public sharing of a folder from Nautilus. Nautilus asked to install the services, and did so. Then upon trying to activate the share, the error showed.
I added the "usershare owner only = False" line and issued "/etc/init.d/samba restart". Within Nautilus (but without further reboot) the problem persists. /var/log/samba/log.smbd only confirms the restart done. -- Upgrading to Hardy destroyed my network shares and when I try to recreate them I get this long complicated error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
