http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546341 Summary: KDE apps have permission problems when writing to CIFS-shares Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Applications AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: bugzilla@go4more.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090909 SUSE/3.5.3-2.2 Firefox/3.5.3 I did some Internet research on this problem and as I found quite some other occurences, I'm not sure whether this is a KDE or a general CIFS-problem. But as console apps work fine in my use case, I'll file this bug as "KDE": I mount a CIFS network share with the following line in /etc/samba/smbfstab (all in one line, obviously): //192.168.178.1/External-01/ /network/netharddisk cifs password=,uid=root,gid=users,serverino,noacl,noperm,nobrl,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,nounix (I did many experiments with the mount options - the ones given above seem to be the most "permissive".)

From the console, I can, without any problem, read, write and modify all files on this share, even without any special mount options. The permissions all seem to be correct (root.users and rwxrwxrwx).

When using KDE, however, there seems to be a strange problem with permissions: When copying files, KDE does the copy, however complains after each files that permissions could not be set. When saving a new file on the share, it works without problem. However, when trying to modify this file and saving it again, KDE complains that it cannot be saved. Digikam cannot save any picture at all on the share, only 0-byte-tmp-files are created. The share is a network harddisk connected to a router (Fritzbox) running Linux, i.e. Samba does the sharing here (unknown version). Needless to say, no problem at all with windows when accessing the share :(.
