Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdenetwork

Dolphin does not show any Kubuntu 9.04 fileshares although they are shown on Samba and the samba and kde-fileshare packages are installed and set up. I have 5 computers and run the latest Kubuntu Jaunty 64 on 3, Ubuntu Jaunty 64 on one and Vista on the last . The weird thing is I can see the vista and ubuntu shares in dolphin and nautilus and windows. I cannot see the kubuntu shares.

I filed this bug in the wrong place first. See comments below.

Comment from pfoo

Try running samba using "smbd -i" (you might use sudo). I think you are going to get an error about pid file.
Look into your smb.conf, pid directory is set to file:///var/run/samba wich is false. It must be /var/run/samba
In my opinion, this is a bug in kdenetwork-filesharing (kde control module for samba).

If you check in kde samba config (kcmsambaconf), tab "advanced" and select "locking", you will notice that if you try to change pid directory the tool wants you to select a file instead of a directory ... So, when kcmsambaconf changes smb.conf (for me, it happened when i passed my security level from user to share) it will add an extra file:// at pid directory line.

If someone could look at this annoying bug ...

Nobody can create shares in kubuntu 64 that appears in dolphin under network. The shares are in samba, but not in dolphin so it cannot be used. It makes kubuntu useless for any sharing any data with other computers which is a very serious problem.

The needless file:// are added in by system configuration->advance->Samba tool.
And it looks like there is missing "%" in line: passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd%2520%2525%25u
It looks like it should be passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd%2520%2525%25%u

Changed in kdenetwork (Ubuntu):

I am on Kubuntu 9.04 i386 and I am having the exact same problem. I have installed the kdenetwork-filesharing and samba-common packages.

Any solution in the works, or tips to get around the problem for now?
