Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.0) Installed from: Mandrake RPMs If I right click a folder with with an Arabic filename to share it two problem happen 1. Right click -> share will always show it as Not shared in Local Net Sharing tab. 2. No icon (the plug which appears beneath the folder icon as an indicator of a share) doesn't show The last point (#2) may need to be filed as a separate bug because I notice that even with English names it shows only if View -> Icon size is set to Large or Small but not with Huge and Medium I am using Mandrake 10
This problem is still in KDE 3.3 if using simple file sharing. With advanced file sharing it works as expected (at least for German umlauts, cannot test Arabic characters here). The problem lies in the fileshareset script which gives the following error when calling it with a directory name that contains German umlauts: Err: illegal path /home/jan/ütest
sow hat do u mean by advanced file sharing?, can u explain please
In KDE 3.3 you can now decide between advanced and simple file sharing. This can be changed in the control center under "network/file sharing". The simple file sharing is the same as before, it uses a suid-root script called fileshareset to allow users to share folders from their home folder without knowing the root password. The advanced file sharing is new and does not use any suid-root script. To share folders with the advanced file sharing the user have to know the root password, or must have write access to the Samba and NFS configuration files. This can be done by creating a new group fileshare which owns these configuration files and put the desired users into that group.
Thanks Jan for the info, I will download KDE 3.3 and test this for Arabic If it works then we need to only to solve this bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1338
This is still present in versions 3.5.9 and 4.0.3 for "simple filesharing", the folder does appear to actually be shared, but the right click menu "Share" still shows itself as not being shared.
There hasn't been any activity on this issue for some time. Please check if this issue is still valid for Konqueror 4.8.4 or later.
