There really is a lack of detail here about how this bug is produced (and the environment to trigger it)

Not by intent, one never knows what additional info will be needed by the developers to solve a bug. I just wait until I am asked... Wouldn't it be nice if one could go to a tool like the KDE System Info or YaST2 and simply have it export all such system info to a file that could be included in a bug report? Just saying...

+ What is the desktop are you using, you mention Dolphin so I suspect KDE (but that is not necessarily so) ?

On both my laptop and the desktop systems - OpenSuSE Leap 42.2 KDE Plasma Version 5.8.3 KDE Frameworks Version 5.26.0 Qt Version 5.6.1 Kernel Version 4.4.36-8 OS Type 64-bit

+ How is the share exposed? is is mounted? or connected somehow from the system ? (e.g. like in gnome the files app can hold a connection to the smb share that is accessible to client applications like thunderbird etc.)

Not really sure what is being asked here. On my desktop, which is where I was trying to store an email attachment from Thunderbird that was running on my laptop, I had simply used YaST2 to define a Samba share to be exposed on my SOHO network. The pertinent sections of the smb.conf file are - [global] workgroup = CHAMBERLIN passdb backend = smbpasswd printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: usershare allow guests = Yes add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$ domain logons = No domain master = yes netbios name = Bigbang security = user wins support = No usershare max shares = 100 local master = Yes preferred master = auto [homedirs] available = Yes browseable = Yes comment = User Home Directories hide dot files = No inherit acls = Yes path = /home read only = No /home is mounted on my desktop (Bigbang), shown in /etc/fstab as UUID=bb3a7d35-cdfb-464b-9c4f-2b562e13d7d7 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 When I tried to save the attachment, to my home dir on my desktop I was asked for my name and password, which I gave and it was accepted.

+ what version of samba is running?

4.4.2-9.1-x86_64

+ how is the samba setup, is the file share system a standalone server or are the systems involved part of a windows domain or.... ?

I don't know how to answer this, my guess is I am using standalone servers since I don't have a clue about using "windows domain" and what that is... This is on my home SOHO network with a mix of Windows and OpenSuSE systems on my network. Nothing sophisticated... Hopefully the info from my smb.conf file will answer your question.

+ is there any output from thunderbird e.g. if you run it from the console

Nothing that makes any sense, but of interesting note, when I run Thunderbird from the console I did get a slightly different behavior. When selecting which computer on my network to store the attachment to, I was not shown, nor was I able to find a way to specify, the desktop system (Bigbang in this case) that I wanted to store the attachment to. I was shown other systems (not all) on my network however, so I tried to save the attachment to one of them that is also running OpenSuSE. Got the same response, i.e. "You can only select local files". Here is what output I got - marc@marcslaptop:~> thunderbird (thunderbird:18279): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory base/ of theme oxygen has no size field kmozillahelper(18340): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol ''.

" kmozillahelper(18340): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol ''. "

Note: I had no trouble saving an attachement from thunderbird from one leap 422 system (fully updated) to another leap 4.22 system (again fully updated) with both systems running gnome (and the file share connected via the 'Files' application) The samba system in this case was just setup as a default file server (with default workgroup 'WORKGROUP)

please provide more information

I tried to be as thorough as I could in giving (probably too much) info. HTHs... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
