Comment 2 for bug 498152

Hello Zack,

Yes, it's using SAMBA. None of the three computers have dual boot or shared
partitions set up. I've only tried to copy/paste using the graphical user
interface. Could you please tell me where to find the error log I'll try it
again and send you the log.

Thanks a lot.

John.
