Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Running kcmshell fireshare as root in Konsole gives me the following errors: Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-kalinda" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. Error: "/tmp/kde-kalinda" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. Putting quotes around "fileshare" only spits out the first error. I can run it as a normal user, but that's pretty pointless since editing anything in Samba requires root. Actually, when I run System Settings as root, the Samba module isn't there (under Advanced settings), but it is for a normal user. This essentially means there's no way to edit Samba in the KDE GUI. This problem happens in the KDE Nightly Builds and in 4.2 Beta 1 on Intrepid, except in the latter there is no Samba module in System Settings, even as a normal user. If I change the ownership of the things listed in the errors, kcmshell simply doesn't run at all as root.
Created attachment 30937 [details] log from running kcmshell4 Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf (...) Load smb config files from /dev/null <-- what?!
Created attachment 30938 [details] Screenshot Screenshot, I can't edit anything even If I proved the path to config by hand and Load it
I think the problem is that the fileshare loads the config from /dev/null (see the attachment). I don't know why but it does.
It fails to start for me too.
