[Bug 521397] Re: Unable to mount shares from Windows ME

[David Lee Lambert]

1st:  Yes.

2nd:  Tested with a live CD (the install CD).

# smbclient -L //PurpleComputer
Password: (just hit Enter)
(success)

# sudo mkdir -p /purple/dqfiles
# sudo mount //PurpleComputer/DQFILES /purple/dqfiles -t smbfs -o uid=ubuntu,user=davidl
mount: wrong fs type, bad option ...
# dmesg
...
smbfs:  CIFS is deprecated ...
smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported

# sudo mount //PurpleComputer/DQFILES /purple/dqfiles -t cifs -o uid=ubuntu,user=davidl
mount: wrong fs type, bad option ...
# dmesg
...
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/ return code = -22

3rd:  Windows ME runs some games better than Wine.  Also,  last time I
tried the scanner we use with that computer with Ubuntu,  there were no
drivers for it;  although that was a few releases of Ubuntu back... As
stated before,  this used to work from the exact same computer except
with an earlier version of Ubuntu;  and it currently works from Debian
Etch and Windows XP.
