Mageia forum

Hello,

I would like to know if mageia is able to share folder with samba on KDE.

If you click right on a folder in KDe, you can select "share" and normally when you validate, the folder should be shared on samba network.

I tried, but it was not a success. The folder doesn't appear in MCC samba section.

Do you know if it should works, and if there is something to do to enable it ?

It would be much more quick to share stuff for me.

Thanks
Pierre

as Unix, and Linux have multiple ways to share fles, I cant see why any single right click share should imply samba.

Ive not noticed this option before except in kde3 when there was a utility that did link to samba (forgoten its name).

but unix is more likly (commonly) to share via NFS than samba.

thats bcause in NFS there is a common UID shareing system available, ie NIS or ldap.

sharing across samba requires that samba is either registered with a domain controller via "net join"

or a mapping of users is setup in unix passwd and smbpasswd.

otherwise all sharing is anonymous, and no access controls.

I think KDE explicitly said it is samba sharing...

What do you get when you run

Code: Select all

kcmshell4 'fileshare'

in a terminal as normal user?
Is there a Samba or NFS server installed and running on your box?

ok well we all learn something new,

so as long as the services are running theres some integration

between kde and those services.

Well, better make that "there should be integration" ...

Hello, I get that :

Code: Select all

[pmithrandir@portablePierre ~]$ kcmshell4 'fileshare'
Impossible de trouver le module « fileshare ». Regardez kcmshell4 --list pour obtenir la liste de tous les modules.


And in the available module, nothing close to file share.

Thanks for your help

Did you install from LiveCD or DVD?

I installed it from live CD mageia 1, went to cauldron, and finally on mageia 2.

Is there any package to install ?

Try to install task-kde4 (make sure to set the filter in software management to "All" instead of "Packages with GUI")
It will give you a full KDE install, as there's just not enough place on a CD for that.

This can also be used to add KDE handbooks and some widgets when you've done a default install from DVD.

This package is already installed... and there is another one task-KDE4-minimal installed also.

Hi,

Do you have any other idea on how to make it works ?

Pierre

Do you have the package samba-server and/or nfs-utils installed and did you try to setup an SMB/NFS share via MCC?

Hello,

As I said, I'm able to share some forlder with MCC, but my question was to be able to do it from KDE directly.

Right click on a folder
properties
Share
Share with Samba.

When I do that, KDE seems to do it, but it's not possible to see it with other shared folder.

some result with dolphin launched from konsole.

Code: Select all

dolphin(7682) KSambaSharePrivate::add: We got some errors while running 'net usershare add' ("usershare", "add", "Documents", "/home/pmithrandir/Documents", "", "Everyone:r", "guest_ok=n")
dolphin(7682) KSambaSharePrivate::add: "net usershare: usershares are currently disabled

Can you please explain what you mean by the last part?

I mean that I get no error message from KDE saying there is an issue (in GUI part I mean, because in konsole, I get the last message).

The folder is displayed with a little earth on it, so it seems that KDE has started to share it.

But If I'm browsing from another computer, I can't see it. There is only the folder I set up in MCC.
