Hi - relatively inexperienced Linux user here, trying out Ubuntu Mate for the first time
Like what I see, but can not get a Samba share working, and there seems to be no mention of it at all in the documentation which I find a little disturbing
Tried a few tutorials that have not worked
Tried caja-share which fails to share folders with a 255 error
Can anybody help me to get this working, otherwise it is a dealbreaker for me.
many thanks!
Welcome to Ubuntu MATE community!
It is a bug, you have to try solution from Sharing Public folders between computers over the network - #3 by apinunt .
Many thanks for the reply !
Will give it a go tomorrow and report back
unfortunately that does not work for me.
I can see the Public share in Windows, but I neither have read or write access. Any other ideas?
Or a timescale for a fix?
Many thanks
OK, thanks for your help, but I'm back on MX Linux
Just seems to be too many unstable basic features in Ubuntu Mate and I am frankly a little surprised 22.04 is a LTS release. Anyway hope to come back one day when it is a little better developed but don't want to waste your time any more as I am sure you have your hands full!!
Again thanks
