In Ubuntu 12.04 and previous versions, I can easily install smbfs
and running smb://server/share
from Nautilus works!
But, in 12.10, I can't install smbfs
. Trying to install it from the terminal, I see this that the package is obsolete:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package smbfs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
cifs-utils
E: Package 'smbfs' has no installation candidate
How can access my Windows share easily in 12.10?
