"Whenever I make a connection to the Window share, I got this error dialog:
Unable to mount location Failed to mount Windows share
- install the samba package
- configure 'security = share' and 'lanman auth = yes' in the [globals] section of /etc/samba/smb.conf
- add a user account to the server (e.g., with 'sudo adduser user')
- set a password for this (insecure!) account with 'sudo smbpasswd user'
- add a share which points to this user, e.g.: [user] comment = Test share path = /home/user writable = yes guest ok = no user = user
- with the hardy version of the libsmbclient package installed, test the following: a) smbclient //localhost/user should return Server not using user level security and no password supplied. Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but 'client use lanman auth' is disabled b) nautilus smb://localhost/user should prompt for a password, and, even when entered correctly, return Couldn't display "smb://localhost/user" Error: Failed to mount Windows share Please select another viewer and try again."
