OK, I've just had a look back for your original query, and it would
appear that you're trying to connect two machines running Ubuntu using
Samba. The people who replied suggested that you don't use Samba and
use SSHFS instead, which is built into Nautilus, the reason being that
Samba is an implementation of Microsoft's SMB networking protocol that
is mostly reverse engineered, and as such is not well documented and
prone to bugs. I have no other information than that which I looked up
and found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1026668, for
which the remedy appears to be add your user to the group
'sambashares', change the group permission on the directory
/var/lib/samba/usershares and possibly log in and log out.
Ok, I had a clean install of my other netbook, in Network, it has two
Icons, one for Windows, one for Ubuntu, both of which I can click on,
and open the directories I want. In the problem computer, Only the
Windows Icon is there, and if clicked on it gives an error 'unable to
mount'. I get the error 255 the same way as the OP gets it.
Now, what you mentione above, how would I go about doing what you
suggested, which I have added in red colour? I dont have the experience
you have. I am a quick learner though, but I need to be shown.
In response to your second reply, yes, I probably did as it's
something that I know a bit about and have experience in similar
problems. However, I don't know anything about your problem so I am
using Google and can only give you the same response that Google would
give you, which seems to be a valid one.
So, with the experience you have, what do you need to know, in order for
you to make any form of judgement? I can only give information based on
my knowledge, which isnt huge.
I am just asking a questsion, I am not making any demands.
