SMB Access Denied

Hi,

Not really sure what broke. I haven’t changed or received an update on my TRUENAS System but did receive various updates on FEDORA 42. I’m now unable to access shares on my TRUENAS I had previous access too.. Is anyone else having the same issues?

I’m not seeing anything in journalctl that could explain why. I don’t even seem to have a SMB user as I tried “smbpasswd -x myusername” and that didn’t work saying it can’t find any entry so I can only presume it is stored somewhere in dolphin, not really sure.

Any ideas on what I could try?

I tried to access the share on my Truenas from Windows using my credentials and I have no problem writing at all. So I can only assume a recent update broke something on Fedora 42.

Could it be the issue described here?

Have a look at the description on the KDE forum and see if this matches your symptoms:

(Upstream KDE bug ticket: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510567)

A potential workaround is to install the cifs-utils package if you don’t have it already, and mount the smb share at boot time using /etc/fstab.

On my system (F42 KDE with all recent updates), I have no issues in Dolphin working with my SMB share mounted in /etc/fstab, so if that’s an option for you, it’s worth a try.

I guess I missed that or didn’t search with the right words… Either way, thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction and it is exactly the same issue. Thanks for the work around. I’ll probably have to use the workaround if it doesn’t get resolved soon.. Again thanks a alot!

And you know what, I don’t know why I didn’t think of that earlier. While it is a minor nuisance to have to set things up as a fstab mount, it would make it permanent from Dolphin like you said.

I was wondering if AUTOFS wouldn’t be best or if it could be just as good as fstab, I could only restart the service then if I make any changes whereas with fstab I would have to reboot?

I tried with autfs and it works just as well so both methods are good.

Fedora 43 has version 6.19.1 of kf6-kio, so upgrading to Fedora 43 should fix this issue.
