Well, I don't think anything can be done from the perspective of non-administrator user accounts. As a non-administrative user, you're not able to add yourself to sambashare, and hence nautilus-share can't take care of this for you under your own account. This means the error message is valid, and you do need to ask your system's administrator to add you to sambashare. The only usecase that would be valid for fixing in this case would be an administrative user who happens to not be in the sambashare group -- then nautilus-share could perhaps invoke a privileged helper through policykit to help the user add him/herself into the sambashare group. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995406 Title: User not added to group sambashare: You do not have permission to create a usershare.

If I'm not mistaken this only affects non-Administrator user accounts. It is happening on my fresh installation of 13.10. Steps to reproduce: 1) Create a new unprivileged user using the User Accounts control panel 2) Login with this new user account 3) Try to share a folder with Nautilus Expected results: - The share is created Actual results: - Sharing fails with error: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares.

Apologies. I didn't notice the sudo usermod -a -G sambashare command in Jakob's original post. That command fixed the problem. However, IMO, standard users should not have to ask their administrator to do this when they first want to share a folder. The same applies to home users who are administrative ones as they should not have to use the CLI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995406 Title: User not added to group sambashare: You do not have permission to create a usershare.

Am I wrong? No, that's not it. That configuration application only deals with configuring the smb.conf. What is needed is for you to add yourself to the sambashare group. The users-admin tool in the past could deal with adding users to groups but things have changed and the current one seems rather deficient, which is why you need to drop to a terminal to do this.

[Bug 995406] Re: User not added to group sambashare: You do not have permission to create a usershare.
I also have the same problem on Precise which has had clean install. The user is in the group sambashare. I'm not able to workaround this: I've tried creating the share logging in as another user who has administrative privileges but I get a different error message (something to the effect that I don't own the folder to be shared. I'm able to do shares of folders owned by users with administrative privileges. This is a real pain. Surely, it should be regarded as having high priority: it's common for Windows users to want to access folders shared by Ubuntu users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995406 Title: User not added to group sambashare: You do not have permission to create a usershare.
