Bug ID: 425202
Summary: If Samba shares are globally disabled, either warn the
user ahead of time or prompt to turn it on
Product: kdenetwork-filesharing
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: n...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
On openSUSE, apparently Samba sharing is globally disabled by default. As a
result, if you attempt to create a Samba share, it will currently just fail
silently. With
https://invent.kde.org/network/kdenetwork-filesharing/-/merge_requests/2
applied, you will at least see a fairly cryptic error message:
net usershare add: usershares are currently disabled
This is much better than nothing, but it would be even better if it could warn
you ahead of time, potentially even inline, when you click on the checkbox to
share a folder.
For bonus points, it could even prompt you to enable samba shares globally,
which as far as I can tell involves the following change to smb.conf:
diff samba_working.conf samba_broken.conf
17c17,19
< usershare max shares = 100
