Bug ID: 443588 Summary: [kdenetwork-filesharing] Provide more guidance to new users Product: dolphin Version: unspecified Platform: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: c...@daniel.priv.no CC: kfm-de...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- I just installed kdenetwork-filesharingon Fedora 34, right-clicked on a folder in Dolphin, and clicked on the new Share tab. There I get an error message saying: “You appear to not have sufficient permissions to manage Samba user shares.” The first thing I tried troubleshooting is whether the smb.service was running. It wasn’t. There should probably be a specific error message for that, as it should be easy to detect and provide guidance. Maybe even a button to elevate permissions and start and enable the service. I still get the same error in Dolphin, though. I guess it needs me to do some more setup, but I don’t know what it expects me to do. As a user faced with this message, there’s no clear path forward to get things working. There should be more details and a help link on this screen. Some searching reveals there’s a related YaST2 settings panel in OpenSUSE, but other distro’s don’t appear to have anything similar. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
