Question #162045 on samba in Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/162045

    Status: Answered => Open

clombard is still having a problem:
When  I open Samba I get an error message (unfortunatley
I can not copy it to comments)
HOWEVER I did type out the error message word for word
and NO ONE made any comment regarding it...
Perhaps that could be the problem?????????????????
thanks
