Bug Description
Ubuntu 8.10
Package:
I don't know if this is a Gnome problem, but I'm using Gnome 2.24.1. apt-cache and Synaptic both claim that Gnome is not installed, whatever that means.
I used the file browser to make my ~/Public directory available through the router to my roommate's computer, which also runs Ubuntu 8.10. When I first set it up, I was able to upload a file to his computer.
Expectation:
Any time my computer is on, the directory should automatically be available on the network.
What actually happened:
If I restart my computer, the directory is no longer on the network. When I go to Places>Home Folder, the Public directory no longer shows the hand icon in the upper right corner. I right-click on it and choose Sharing Options. The "Share this folder" box is still checked.
Workaround:
If turn off sharing for that folder, then turn it back on again, it seems to work normally.
I would guess it's a problem with setting up shared directories at boot time.
