File ownership errors

[tudza]

Ah splendid, that does the trick well, sudo did the trick badly as you can see.

Now that I see this, I remember seeing mention of it in some other forum.  I wasn't running Kubuntu at the time, so it didn't stick in my memory.  Thanks for the help.

Try this instead:
$ kdesu konqueror

The KDE "su" program handles all these permissions issues for you  :) 

The errors you are seeing have nothing to do with Samba, but everything to 
do with the fact you're running a user session of KDE and trying to spaw a 
konqueror instance as a different user.  Use "kdesu" for X-based (KDE) apps 
from the command line that require elevated privileges.

HTH,
