[Bug 1082699] Re: cannot copy to samba share

[Alexander Langanke]

This is a more complete discription of my problem which I do not believe
to be a configuration problem.

I have an Ubuntu 12.04 Server with Samba set up.
I have an Ubuntu 12.10 Desktop, an Ubuntu 12.10 Laptop and a Windows 8 Surface Tablet.

A) The Laptop or Desktop try to copy a file of any size and type to the
server via samba -> grey window (freeze) which recovers after a few
seconds yet reports "timeout". A file is created at the destination
(size= 0 bytes). The Copy window progress bar never moves beyond 0
bytes. This is easily reproducible.

B) The Windows 8 PC can copy files to the Samba Share on my Ubuntu 12.04
Server without problems.

C) The Ubuntu 12.10 PCs can copy files to each other without problems

D) The Ubuntu 12.10 PC can copy files to the Surface Tablet without
problems.

This sounds like a bug to me as copying used to work before I upgraded
and I certainly did not make any omnious changes to both my Ubuntu 12.10
PCs. I gather that it is not a problem with my server as my Tablet can
copy files to that system with no problems.

Accessing files on the remote share is not a problem with ubuntu 12.10
by the way.

I will try to update my Server to 12.10 and report back if that helped.
