Hello,
I am running the most recent version of KDE with the stock Dolphin file manager. I'm using the basic 'Samba' packages from extra/ repo.
Upon right-click'ing a directory and moving to the 'Share' tab I find this screen:
Regardless of what I change, the options revert back to 'Share with Samba' being toggled on and everything else erased. Upon reboot, it has reset back to a clean slate. Furthermore, although I can properly see and navigate the other computers on my network, none of the directories I attempt to share appear for us.
Does anyone have a suggestion? I would be extremely thankful. Any more information I can give, feel free to request.

I think you have to share folders in systemsettings.

Okay, so update on this, since I STILL CANT SHARE with my network. I've never had an OS issue persist for this long unsolved.
I think you have to share folders in systemsettings.
The only relevant option in KDE system settings is default username and password for accessing network shares. I can access external shares fine, I just cant share my own directories.
I followed this Wiki article explicitly, as recommended in our IRC:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sa … _with_KDE4
I had to 'su' to carry out the instructions. I compiled the .c files with gcc as instructed. After doing that, I carried out all steps without a hitch save for a seemingly harmless warning during the .c compiles.* I have all listed prequisites. Still, I had no success. I am offered no additional options and I still cant share directories.
It seems to be a permission issue to me. So i tried logging in as root and directly sharing that way. Still nothing.
Come on guys, I could really use some help here.

I have the same issue - can't share files from gui. 2012 year is here. Any ideas?

Nope, not the GUI way, anyway. And my comment re systemsettings is outdated as of KDE 4.8.
I suggest you build yourself a very simple smb.conf from scratch - I was surprised when mine actually did what I wanted it to

I'm going to bump this.
Did anyone find a solution for sharing files using the GUI? I did manage to get samba working using a manually created smb,conf, but that doesn't seem like a complete solution given the fact that we're on KDE 4.8.3 now.
I've followed the instructions in the Wiki to the t. Also, I can't seem to find the "fileshare" module mentioned there.

smb4k is a nice client programme that sits in the systray.
