Okay, so I'm a noob in the Linux/Unix/Ubuntu community. (2 days experience)
My job is to make this new Ubuntu box into a file server for all the other computers in the network, which are running on windows.
Earlier this morning, on my windows machine I was able to go "Run > \\Ubuntu's IP" and it would show the test folder I had set to be shared.
After that, I installed GSAMBA for all the extra server options it has. However, when I went to share a folder using GSAMBA, the folders I right-clicked > sharing options, it told me
I needed to add this line (usershare owner only =false) to the smb.conf in the [global] section, so did, and it fixed that. So I had the shared folders being shared using GSAMBA.
However. When I went back to my windows machine, did the "Run > ubuntus IP", it would not connect.
I also have this error on the Ubuntu box when I open up SAMBA now:
"
Some lines couldn't be understood while reading the configuration file /etc/samba/smb.conf. These may be unknown configuration directives for Samba plugins but could also be configuration errors.
show details...
38: enable spoolss = yes
"
I never messed with enable spoolss, so I'm totally confused and now the network can't connect to the ubuntu box.
Anyone have ANY idea of what's going on here?
