Moving to the new kdenetwork-filesharing product. *** Bug 339787 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 403385 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Found the problem. If you have the correct packages for a running Samba server (which kdenetwork-filesharing takes care of), but that Samba server doesn't actually have any users set up on it, then the new share isn't actually enabled at all. SO the next time you open the dialog, it correctly notices that there isn't a share set up. From the user perspective, it looks like the share was enabled, but turned itself off. What was really going on was that it was never actually enabled in the first place, but the setup GUI didn't handle that error properly and tell the user that something had gone wrong. The dialog should handle this condition as well. Duping this to the bug that tracks that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 334875 *** |
