Public bug reported: In Ubuntu Studio 24.04, try to access SMB share with guests allowed, but write access limited to logged in users with access rights.
In microsoft windows, accessing the share via the File Explorer lets you browse as guest. To login in, you have to "Map Network Drive" which is a right click option, and this lets you input the username/pass and choose how long to remember the password. In Ubuntu Studio, accessing the share via dolphin lets me browse as a guest, but in order to login as a user, I have to open up the "Windows Shares" app and put in my user/pass credentials under the default user name / default password. If I try writing a file without this, I get "Error - Access denied to smb://omvroom.local/OMVshare/test.txt" ## What should happen instead ## * There should be a way to login specifically to this share, without making these credentials default for all windows shares * Possibility: a right click option to authenticate as a user * Possibility: before getting an access denied error, you should be prompted for a username/pass login.
