Hello, To be honest, I have never been able to make samba work on mageia. I have with ubuntu and I have used the same smb.conf from ubuntu with mageia with no success. Fist of all used MCC / Local Disks / Share your hard disk partitions / allow all users / selectec SMB Once I got to dolphin and selected a folder / properties / share, I get a message saying that I don` t have enough permissions. I already when to MCC and added my local user to the fileshare group. what am I doing wrong? Whiile on sambar server smb.conf I have it like this. [global] workgroup = WORKGROUPS server string = Samba Server %v netbios name = LinuxGamerAMD security = user map to guest = bad user dns proxy = no ntlm auth = true [public] path = /srv/carpeta/data comment = Shared Folder browseable = yes public = yes writable = yes preserve case = yes Once I connect to my MageiaPC using windows I am asked for a username and password.. Regards
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

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?:

*** Bug 31659 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
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.
