Yeah, we verify that Samba is installed, but not that a Samba server is actually running. We should do so. *** Bug 495170 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I've started working on this at the work/ngraham/enable-and-start-smb-when-needed branch. It needs a bit of work to complete it: - get authentication via kauth - make systemd dependency mandatory, or else set up a non-systemd codepath |
Created attachment 156969 [details] net usershare add error SUMMARY creating a new share errors that smbd isnt running and requires the user to manually enable it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open dolphin, right click on properties on directory in home(default "Music" dir in my case, go to share tab. 2. enable the share checkbox and click ok OBSERVED RESULT you get a "net usershare add" error as shown in the attachment. EXPECTED RESULT somewhere in the flow it should enable smbd or anything necessary to get the share going.
