[SOLVED]usershare - Failed to init messaging context

thunar-share
nemo-share
No longer work

Usershare returns the message
Failed to init messaging context

for example:
~ $ Net usershare list
Failed to init messaging conte

Follow the steps of the wiki
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sa … share_path

/var/lib/samba/usershare
drwxrwx--T 2 root sambashare   4096 Jul  4 22:37 usershare
Permission 1770

User groups
samba $
groups
wheel users sambashare lpadmin

Smbclient works without problems
smbclient -L localhost

/etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]
   workgroup = TEST
   server string = Server Linux
   log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
   max log size = 50
   security = user
   map to guest = Bad User
   guest account = swatquest
   usershare path = /var/lib/samba/usershare
   usershare max shares = 100
   usershare allow guests = yes
   usershare owner only = yes

If I modify the permission to group sambashare
/var/cache/samba/msg.lock works

sudo chown :sambashare /var/cache/samba/msg.lock
sudo chmod g+w /var/cache/samba/msg.lock

Re: [SOLVED]usershare - Failed to init messaging context

The same thing with samba but i can't change permissin on .lock file cause
"invalid permissions on directory '/var/cache/samba/msg.lock': has 0775 should be 0755"
message appears

Current samba version is:

extra/samba 4.6.5-1
extra/smbclient 4.6.5-1

Downgrade give me no luck.
As i found on is starts from 4.6:
https://sourceforge.net/p/smb4k/discuss … /f9ec6154/
https://github.com/KaOSx/apps/issues/108

Here is a patch discussion:
http://samba.2283325.n4.nabble.com/net- … 19523.html

Update:
downgrade to 4.5.10-1 gave me the positive result.
Packages needed to be downgraded are: samba-4.5.10-1, smbclient-4.5.10-1, libwbclient-4.5.10-1
The best way i found for myself is to use downgrader and downgrade should be done in the direct order to solve dependency problems.
