Title:
local sharing of any directory under home (~) fails due to permissions
Status in nautilus-share package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
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. (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?
