oh to make it more clear after hitting that create a samba password a window opens where i can type password and confirm it and klick on Ok the window vanish and just nothings happen
The popup you get is asking you for your user password to add your user to the usershares tab, not asking to set a password.
Oh. This is'nt as straight forward as I thought. I'll figure it out and report back 😄
I'm now where you are, and dolphin is coredumping :/
It's just the password entry that's crashing. You can do that step in a terminal.
sudo smbpasswd -a $USERyeah first i got stuck at add to usershare but this i could solve alone
than a write to file blablabla is not working came in front but this i could also fix myself with google search but than came this add samba password and i tried to solve this in terminal but i thing i made a mistake here and got stucked
and i tried sudo smbpasswd -a $USER and set a new password BUT still the message is in dolphin to set it
inpuit in terminal
and
message in Dolphin (ok in german but it still say create a samba password
That's weird, adding myself fixed it for me and now can't recreate 🙁
Is the samba service running?
systemctl status samba.service ?ähm error message unit samba.service could not be found, but it was activated before
systemctl enable samba.service and systemctl start samba.service
Oh my bad
it's smb not samba
i would say yes its working
Might need a
sudo smbpasswd -e $USER too eventhough I didn't do thatyou mean with -e instead of .a?
yes e is enable
ok enabled user tuerlich
Did you also run this command?:
sudo setsebool -P samba_export_all_rw=1 This one I got from another help thread.yes i did with this i was able do surpass this file not write permission thingie and -e also not solved the problem
still the same message in dolphin
Those are all the things I did :/ I did reboot and restart the smb service a few times, but for me entering the password in command line was the thing that got me past that set password thing. Dolphin straight up segfaults when entering a password there 🙁
yeap same for me but with the exception that the password thing still is there^^
I'm not sure where to go from here sorry :(. If I see someone active I'll try to draw their attention to this thread. Thought it was maybe because I set the same pw as my user that it worked for me, but after removing my user and adding it with a different password, it still works.
oh i also tried that^^ first saem pw as my user and than different ione
BUT maybe i messed up something its my first install of bazzite so i try and test pretty a lot maybe i made a crucial error or so (but the plan is a fresh install after my test und try phase is over^^
