𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:26 AM

did you need to set some selinux booleans

Niklas ⚡•4/25/25, 8:27 AM

do you want to setup one to share with other computers or just connect to one? the latter works just fine, former idk

�

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:27 AM

nah setting one up

RealDishwash•4/25/25, 8:27 AM

oh not sure about that, i've just connected to one

�

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:27 AM

afaik you need to let it through the firewall and set some selinux thingies

�

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:27 AM

and there is no prompting anywhere that you have to do this

�

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:28 AM

i can open another pr to set it up at build time

RealDishwash•4/25/25, 8:29 AM

will it have any negative impacts on users who don't use it?

�

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:29 AM

i don't think so

�

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:29 AM

mkdir -p /var/lib/samba/usershares
chown -R root:usershares /var/lib/samba/usershares
firewall-offline-cmd --service=samba --service=samba-client
setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs=1
setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro=1
setsebool -P samba_export_all_rw=1
sed -i '/^\[homes\]/,/^\[/{/^\[homes\]/d;/^\[/!d}' /etc/samba/smb.conf

this is the magic snippet

that last line stops samba exporting your whole home directory as a share automatically

�𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomist and there is no prompting anywhere that you have to do this

https://invent.kde.org/network/kdenetwork-filesharing/-/merge_requests/61 i'm also doing this but no one seems to be looking at it upstream lmao

RealDishwash•4/25/25, 8:35 AM

this looks good to me, do you know where the user creates a samba share tho?

RealDishwash•4/25/25, 8:35 AM

i've never done it on desktop linux

RRealDishwash this looks good to me, do you know where the user creates a samba share tho?

�

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:35 AM

right click on a folder -> properties -> share

�

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:36 AM

the ui kinda sucks right now

RealDishwash•4/25/25, 8:36 AM

the dialog says that my user needs to be in the usershares group too

RealDishwash•4/25/25, 8:36 AM

does that effect anything

�

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:36 AM

i mean this is prompted so you can just click the button

�

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:37 AM

firewall, selinux etc is not prompted

�

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:37 AM

so it just silently fails ootb on fedora/ublue

�

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:37 AM

when you try to use it

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:38 AM

hopefully someone actually looks at my mr in kde cos the ui does suck rn

yeah the huge red X looks super scary rn

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:41 AM

Once you navigate through it the padding is completely broken

�

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:42 AM

And it doesnt tell you how to connect to the share

�

𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴onomistOP•4/25/25, 8:42 AM

I love kde

RRealDishwash the dialog says that my user needs to be in the usershares group too

RealDishwash•4/25/25, 8:44 AM

i guess we can just let people do this manually for now, hopefully the ui gets a bit friendlier though

RealDishwash•4/25/25, 8:44 AM

we could do some documentation for it but i feel like users would be a bit scared to press the button
