    • Interesting.  Years ago it was hit or miss for me to get Samba working.  Maybe it's better now.  I did the same thing each time, and half the time it worked and half the time it didn't.

    Sorry, I don't understand this post. What is gksu gedit /etc/avahi/services/samba.service ?
    .
    The second Code box makes no sense to me.
