Comment 4 for bug 912212

Bug 877852 is recorded as a duplicate of 862129 for which
afix was released on 2011-11-29.

So my problems today either mean that fix doesn't work or
it's not a duplicate.

In fact, samba seems to be working: from my Windows (XP)
laptop, I can still access the shared files on the Ubuntu
server and Windows recognises the networked printer. I
can't find the Windows PC on the server, but with the
difficulty finding anything hidden under 'Dash', that too
may be working.

As it happens, I'm so disillusioned with the slow speed of
11.10 and it's Vista-clone GUI that I'm going to do a clean
re-install of 10.04 LTS tonight. A lot of work to get back
a fast reliable working system, but at least I know that's
what I'll have. I have no confidence that 11.10 will
readily provide either the reliability (it shutdown once
already without warning) or the functionality that I depend
upon as a business user. The lesson is clear: only upgrade
to LTS releases and then only 6-12 months after initial
release. When I retire in April 2013, I shall have the time
to install Pangolin on an old spare PC to explore the
cumbersome 'Dash' GUI at leisure before I risk the server again.
