Provide more guidance to new users
I just installed kdenetwork-filesharing
on Fedora 34, right-clicked on a folder in Dolphin, and clicked on the new Share tab. There I get an error message saying:
You appear to not have sufficient permissions to manage Samba user shares.
The first thing I tried troubleshooting is whether the smb.service
was running. It wasn’t. There should probably be a specific error message for that, as it should be easy to detect and provide guidance. Maybe even a button to elevate permissions and start and enable the service.
I still get the same error in Dolphin, though. I guess it needs me to do some more setup, but I don’t know what it expects me to do. As a user faced with this message, there’s no clear path forward to get things working.
There should be more details and a help link on this screen.
