Bug 30984

On the fileshare using dolphin I am still stuck... I am still getting the message saying I don`t have enough permissions.

But now I am able to connect from windows after adding a samba user and password afer adding the next 2 lines to smb.conf

force user = gamer
force group = gamer

And later created the samba password.

smbpasswd -a gamer


I would still like that samba would not ask me any password... but, at least I learned something tonight.. ;-)

Any tips would be appreaciated..

Regards

did you have kio-fuse installed?

Also try change

map to guest = bad user

to

map to guest = bad password

i found that on arch wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/samba#Windows_clients_keep_asking_for_password_even_if_Samba_shares_are_created_with_guest_permissions

Thank you katnatek for looking at this.
Await feedback.

@Ezequiel : have you ever tried a different file manager, to test whether Dolphin is a factor?

@Ezequiel
I think Samba has been updated recently. Please give some feedback.

Hello Katnatek

I do have kio-fuse installed and still have the message that I don´t have enough permissions to share.

With caja and caja-share plugin I get.


>ne usershare> has return error 255: ner usershare: usershares are currently disablked.

Caja says it doesn`t have correct permissions to share... or something (I have this installation in spanish so i´m just giving you something similar.

With Nautilus I could not test it since nautilus-filesharing cannot be installed sin libnautilus-extension.so.1()(64bit)) is not available yet.

I am using mageia 9 alpha 1 testing so I have latest samba.

Thank you for your tests with other file managers.
Did you try the change noted in comment 3 ? (which did not say where to apply it, I expect you will know).

Sorry for the delay on this.


I stop using it until today.

Please let me know if I need to open a new bug report.

Today I wanted to share a folder on mga 9 beta,


On the folders share tab I got the next error.

This Folder can´t be shared becauser ´/var/lib/samba/usershare´ does not exist.
This error is caused by your distro not setting up Samba Sharing properly. You can fx it yourself by creating that folder manually. Then close and re-open this windows.

So I created the usershare folder.

So then I got.

This folder can´t be shared because ´/var/lib/samba/usershares´ has its group owner inappropriately set to "root"

So what I changed the group owner to samba with chgrp samba usershares

Now with every test user I get the next error.

This folder can´t be shared because your user account isn´t a member of the "samba" group.

You can fix this bu makin your user a member of that group. Then restart the system.

But this time it gives me an option "Make me a Group Member"

So you probably will have to create this folder with samba group membership on the next iso?:

Yes I do have kio-fuse installed and I did what you recommended on comment #3

Please test samba-4.17.5-2.mga9 that now provide a new samba-usershares-4.17.5-2.mga9 package which should fix usershares issue!

MGA9 - setting up a new Samba Share through Draksambashare utility.  

- When using the utility it needs a user-id set up.
- I set up the user, but it doesn't save it (I'm running via root permission through utility.
- Exit and come back in, user is missing
- share cannot be set up

# urpmi samba
Package samba-4.17.5-2.mga9.x86_64 is already installed

Utility or permissions appear to be broken.

I ran utility through command line

# draksambashare
