I customized Samba, but now one computer doesn't see new Ubuntu in network.

In smb.conf, I appended this:

comment = Develop file storage
path = /develop
browsable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = no
write list = technobulka
create mask = 0755

Workgroup and secure don't change.

Computers in network are:

  • notebook Ubuntu 12.04 - it's visible for all
  • notebook Windows 7 - visible too
  • PC Ubuntu 12.04 with share - don't visible

When I customize this PC last week all works fine, but now I don't know what happens.


After installing system-config-samba and restarting the PC I can see it in every computer.

system-config-samba changed smb.conf like this:

comment = Develop file storage
path = /develop
;browsable = yes
writable = yes
create mask = 0755
valid users = technobulka

I can connect to the folder but can't create file or folder. What I must change?

Sorry for my language. –  Technobulka Mar 23 '13 at 11:26
Can you check if you meant to have a semicolon (;) like this ;browsable = yes? (That's in the update section of your question) –  user25656 Mar 23 '13 at 12:46
This should be reopened. It was only NARQ before the first edit. –  Eliah Kagan Mar 23 '13 at 17:42

Try using system-config-samba. It is graphical and is in the software center. You could also get it by running this terminal command:

sudo apt-get install system-config-samba


for providing extra permission you can follow these steps:
