Copying files to Windows Vista causes 'Invalid Parameter'

[w1zard]

Using Feisty, copying files via a wireless network to a mounted admin share on a Windows Vista Ultimate machine.

When the file is dragged to the mounted drive on the desktop, the copy fails with:

Error 'Invalid Parameter' while copying [filename]

There is an option to Cancel or Retry, clicking Retry almost always sucessfully copies the file. On occasion I might have to retry 2 or 3 times for it to work

Copying the same file to the same share using Windows XP as a source machine never fails - I assume the Feisty kernel doesn't understand some parameter Vista returns to it before copying.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add the full output of 'dmesg' after you receive the error? Thanks in advance.

The above command was run directly after the error message had appeared, and before I had chosen an option (Cancel/Retry)

If possible can you try with SP1?

Thanks

I'm afraid I no longer have a Vista machine to test this scenario - can anyone else assist in reproducing the issue?

Let me try and test this

That would be great - many thanks :)

Looks to me like a duplicate of bug 18562 (someone else can mark it so; I'm new to this)
