Samba Network Shares with Nautilus in Hardy Heron

A couple of days ago I mentioned a few of my woes with the latest release of Ubuntu. Since then, I’ve installed Ruby on Rails and have found a work around for the continued problems I’ve had in accessing my samba shares using the “Connect to Server…” option in Nautilus. If you’re experiencing the symptoms described in bug report #208531, then you might want to give smbmount a try. From the command-line, type:

smbmount //{server}/{share} /home/{user}/{share} -o username={server_username}

To unmount the share:

sudo umount /home/{user}/{share}

I’m using this as a temporary solution until the bug in Nautilus is resolved. Your mileage may vary.

*The statements above were written under the assumption that you’ve created a folder within your home directory for mounting the share.
