[Bug 373618] [NEW] Filesharing does not work in Kunbuntu 9.04 AMD 64

[Hein van Rensburg]

Public bug reported:

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.
