M6 Samba client/Dolphin problem

[mackowiakp]

I have on my home QNAP NAS Samba server. On this server is some disk quota (named TMP) dedicated as "public access". That is anyone can write and read from/to this share without necessity to log-in. It works without problem with M5, WIN, Android and MAC. I upgraded my PC from M5 to M6 and try to access this share from Dolphin, it rapports that there is not possibility to write to this share. This share is defined in Dolphin as "place":

Code: Select all

smb://<name_of_NAS>/TMP

Why I can not write to such defined share in M6 but it is possible on other platforms including M5?

Seems to be a fairly recent bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376344

Yep. The same issue. But it is advised to mount Samba share. It was not necessary in M5. For example if You are travelling with laptop and it was possible to access share in my house, at work or in any random place, from Dolphin directly without any mounts and editing fstab.

It was not necessary in M5.

Because mga5 did not bring such a recent plasma version.

Hmmm. It is strange. Because I created shortcut on desktop to open this share in Dolphin directly. And it is possible to write to this share. open in that way.
Below content of .desktop file of this shortcut:

Code: Select all

Icon=multimedia-player-apple-ipod
Type=Link
URL[$e]=smb://media

Of course it opens URL not shell script, but open it in Dolphin with full write/read privileges.

I tested the issue using different configuration. The results are as follow:

- if SMB share I want to open in Dolphin needs credentials, I have full read/write access to this share. Without mounting it at system startup or manually;
- if SMB share dont need any login procedure (is public domain, like in my case) I can not access this share.

So I try to mount such public available share manually from CLI. As I wrote, this share does not need any credentials to log in.
But during manually mounting such share, I am prompted for password. Then I just <Enter> without entering any password and share in mounted!

So probably, when I want to access share without mounting, just directly from Dolphin, M6 version does not pass blank password during accessing share.
I think, that is a problem. Any solution?

did you have the package kio-extras?

Yes, open a Mageia bugreport and refer to the upstream bugreport and ask if the fix for that can be backported to our KF5 applications version.
Also describe your issue in a reproducible way, so the maintainer can test this, maybe it's an even different issue.

But are you required for user and password in the public domain shares? Because i make a test with some of the k-apps that i have, and at the moment to open the smb share, i am required to introduce both, only need to introduce your linux user and password, in thunar i got almost the same behaviour (i am required twice, when access the smb group and when access the smb share).

[mackowiakp]

Hmmmm. After series of last upgrades ok M6 (i dont know which one help) I can access "public domain" SMB share directly from Dolphin. I have full read/write access without any credentials or definition in fstab. So no any mounts during startup or later. For example it is possible to create file on share (using KWrite for example), edit it and so on.
But there is another problem. I want to copy/paste file or even whole dir using Dolphin, from local desktop to the share I mentioned before.
Does not matter if I am using <CTRL><c>/<CTRL><v> or copy/paste option from Dolphin menu, it is not possible.
Whats more, the option <PASTE> in Dolphin is "greyed".
I know doktor5000 does not like it but I have to say that such operation is possible in M5, WIN, Android ES Explorer etc.
Any idea what to do?

Seems you ignored my previous reply - it's telling you the answer to your previous and your current question.
