[Bug 214714] Re: Upgrading to Hardy destroyed my network shares and when I try to recreate them I get this long complicated error message
Clarification, by adding "usershare owner only = False" I'm now able to create new shares again even on my NTFS external harddrive. Of course all my original shares I had on this disk are permanently deleted by the upgrade process. I understand the security implication and agree that the proper fix is not to add "usershare owner only = False" to smb.conf by default. Ideally, files on NTFS USB external hard drives should be mounted as owned by my user account instead of root:root (this would enable me to create network shares for folders on external USB harddrives with NTFS without resorting to sub-par security). ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- Upgrading to Hardy destroyed my network shares and when I try to recreate them I get this long complicated error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@mnemo : "Adding "usershare owner only = False" makes my system usable again" You mean that the shares you specifically mades with nautilus-share are working ? "usershare owner only = false" is a security problem, I think that we will never put this inb smb.conf. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- Upgrading to Hardy destroyed my network shares and when I try to recreate them I get this long complicated error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Adding "usershare owner only = False" makes my system usable again. This bug is about getting stuff to work "out of the box" though so that others users don't have to go through the same debugging process I had to go through. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- Upgrading to Hardy destroyed my network shares and when I try to recreate them I get this long complicated error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 214714] Re: Upgrading to Hardy destroyed my network shares and when I try to recreate them I get this long complicated error message
The current version of the samba package in hardy should preserve all user-defined shares in smb.conf when upgrading, even if you opt to have the upgrade overwrite smb.conf. So that part of this bug should be fixed. -- Upgrading to Hardy destroyed my network shares and when I try to recreate them I get this long complicated error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 214714] Re: Upgrading to Hardy destroyed my network shares and when I try to recreate them I get this long complicated error message
Thank you Patrice It's possible that the dist upgrade overwrote my smb.conf (not sure actually) but I was never made aware of the fact that this would cause me to loose all my SMB shares. Maybe a warning text should be added so that users know about this. I will use your workaround for the second problem. How can we change the default behavior in order to prevent other users from running into this problem? I think the added security flag is a very good thing that should stay but I still think that this bug has to be fixed somehow. On Windows, the UI interaction workflow is very smooth for the corresponding scenario and I never run into problems where I have to worry about the file system type of the partition on which I want to share files. For example, when I plugin in my NTFS USB harddrive would it be possible to mount my files so that I am the owner of my own files by default? -- Upgrading to Hardy destroyed my network shares and when I try to recreate them I get this long complicated error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 214714] Re: Upgrading to Hardy destroyed my network shares and when I try to recreate them I get this long complicated error message
You have 2 problems. 1/ On upgrade you have lost your gutsy shares. Why ? Have you manually overwrited smb.conf during upgrade ? 2/ The new sharing system use the usershare samba system. A security option is set to not allow users to share folders that they are not owner Bug #214420 -> so you can manually (or use gui like system-config-samba) edit smb.conf to recreate your shares like before (in smb.conf). -- Upgrading to Hardy destroyed my network shares and when I try to recreate them I get this long complicated error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
