OS X server and Ubuntu 14
I have used Windows XP software for the networking about 6 computers which include both an OS X Mavericks machine and an Ubuntu 12.04 machine. This has worked OK for years but offers little securtity and XP is disappearing and so I decided to get a Mac Mini and OS X server and use the mini as the file server. All was fine on the Windows machines and the OS X one but the Ubuntu machine sees the Mini server but gets an error "Can't retrieve ----" when one tries to open the shared files.
I really am very keen to make this network setup work rather than having to use Ubuntu as a server. The OS X server software is really nice and easy to use.
Any suggestions, I have searched and it seems to have been a common problem but I can't find a simple solution.
