    Need help to use gnome-user-share

    When try to share my files between two Ubuntu 11.04-x86_64 machines, I could find the shared icon under network folder in my home directory. But it is just an icon, when I click on it, there is an error message pop-up (the screen-shot attached)

    Do you have any idea on this error?

    This is a long shot but you will get a similar error in Samba if the remote client used "Remember Forever" when applying the password to access the remote share.

    If you go to "Personal File Sharing" and select "Never" to the "Require Password" option does the problem go away?

    Thanks for response, Morbius1

    It is the same message after I change to 'require password'.

    Bad news I'm afraid. I installed the requite packages to get this thing functional and have encountered the same problem.

    There's a year old bug report that doesn't seem to be going anywhere that describes the problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...re/+bug/582542

    Ok, I acknowledge this is a bug of Natty build in function and hope it could be solved soon; thanks for your help.
