Created attachment 120045 [details] screen recording SUMMARY Watch the screen recording. "Allow guests" checkbox is enabled but it's impossible to check it. EXPECTED RESULT Keep "Allow guests" option greyed out until "Share with Samba (ms windows)" is checked. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.58.0 Qt Version: 5.12.0
I think the root cause here is that the Samba share you're trying to create doesn't actually get created successfully (Bug 381301). Can you confirm?
No. I can create samba shares. The same behavior shown in the screen recording occurs on Arch Linux. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.58.0 Qt Version: 5.13.0 beta3
Oh, this is just a UI bug then. That checkbox shouldn't even be enabled if the folder isn't being shared. Here's a patch: https://phabricator.kde.org/D21253
