Public bug reported: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2074 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2023
ubuntu 21.10, GNOME 40.4.0 described here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/229870/why-cant-i-get- to-a-shared-folder-from-windows killed me all day today until finding the top answer there, which solved it. i tried settings/media sharing. i could not see the indicated directories on my LAN from a mac. (BUG 1) i right-clicked a directory that was supposed to be shared by that setting (/home/username/Videos/), clicked "local network share", enabled sharing and allowing guest access. this brought up a dialog to install samba which i agreed to. i still could not see the directory from the mac. (BUG 2) only once i spent all day googling and finally found the askubuntu solution did i figure out the problem -- "other users" needs execute permission on all directories above the shared directory all the way down to the root. /home/username/ does not have that permission. you need to set it if someone sets sharing with guest access on any descendant of a home directory. now if i don't set guest access, my ubuntu username/pw are rejected when trying to log in from the mac -- i think there is some samba configuration necessary and you need to set up remote access for credentials that have local access whenever someone says they want sharing. (BUG 3) lastly, i get file transfers of 8MB/s when i push to the server from the mac. but when i pull from the mac on the server, i only get 3MB/s. (BUG 4) i know this probably isn't your fault, but can you direct me to how i should investigate why this is? i don't know where to even start with it -- would it be two different versions of samba on the two different machines? ** Affects: nautilus-share (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: access access-control credentials file-sharing lan local permissions samba share sharing smb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus-share in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1956419 Title: local sharing of any directory under home (~) fails due to permissions Status in nautilus-share package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2074 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2023 ubuntu 21.10, GNOME 40.4.0 described here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/229870/why-cant-i-get- to-a-shared-folder-from-windows killed me all day today until finding the top answer there, which solved it. i tried settings/media sharing. i could not see the indicated directories on my LAN from a mac.
