This bug is a real frustration, and the error response is horrible.

I think the last two comments would be better directed at bug #255391, because this one is about local partitions, not network shares. -- nautilus-share can't share ntfs/fat32 folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214420 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 214420] Re: nautilus-share can't share ntfs/fat32 folders
Sorry, I was mistaken. I confused this bug with another one describing how you can only delete files on an ntfs partition and not move them to trash. In that bug, the point was made that windoze doesn't treat ntfs as secure, so why should Ubuntu? This point applies to samba shares, too. -- nautilus-share can't share ntfs/fat32 folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214420 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If I'm not mistaken, the issue you're probably getting is that you cannot share what does not belong to you (owner = your username). If you're getting that, then it's a bug in how you mounted your fat32 volume, not in nautilus-share. USB drives which are formatted using fat32 have a uid=your userid argument passed in when mounted automatically in Ubuntu, and these can be shared perfectly fine. I have not tested with NTFS, but chances are that it is the same. -- Regards, Chow Loong Jin -- nautilus-share can't share ntfs/fat32 folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214420 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Why the group others must have read permissions?? This should be valid only if browsing as the anonymouns user, but if we require samba authentication, than it should be enough to set the permissions for the authenticated user.. -- nautilus-share can't share ntfs/fat32 folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214420 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 214420] Re: nautilus-share can't share ntfs/fat32 folders
patrice vetsel and rocko: the problems here are twofold when nautilus says it needs to alter the permissions of the folder, this is not about altering the owner of the folder, but giving the group others read,write,execute permissions. the folder needs to have those permissions so that it can be read over the network. now on reason why it cant alter the permissions of the folders because you are not the owner, but this is a different stage to sharing it. it is also true that if you are not the owner you are not allowed to share the folder (unless you edit smb.conf of start nautilus as root) note also that even if you were the owner, you couldnt change the permissions, because ntfs/vfat dont support individual file permissions. to change the permissions it needs to edit the fstab entry for the drive. the actual fact of you owning the drive is irrelevant therefore in this case to whether you can change the permissions, as it is superseded by the fstab thing. i made bug #255391 about the ntfs drive not having the right permissions by default that it needs to be able to be read across the network. once that is changed it will just be the case of the owner problem. then all users need to do is make the edit to smb.conf as suggested in the gui (or run gksu nautilus) -- nautilus-share can't share ntfs/fat32 folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214420 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
