my thunar samba share remove looks exactly like that.
if i have to edit the smb.conf anyway, then i'll prolly wind up using this admin-shares more. for now i've only been required to set up guest access, some read, some write; so it's never been a point at which i have tried to tackle yet.
but i think ultimately i'd like to create these private shares and hide some folders from the list, but i've been saving those crashes for after i get a few other things functioning like i need (audio/remote desktop).
sure is a quick fix for noob's to get guest access i think tho.
thanks again for the tutorial, i'll be giving it a go after the weekend unless i get busy in some other threads.

Then post the output of the following command and indicate which share is not being removed:my thunar samba share remove looks exactly like that.
Code: Select all
net usershare info --long
You don't have to edit smb.conf at all if you use the Thunar method so I don't know to what you are referring. The share definitions using the thunar method are not in smb.conf. They are in /var/lib/samba/usershares and you don't edit those.if i have to edit the smb.conf anyway, then i'll prolly wind up using this admin-shares more

i removed all the shares, but i tried to remove the share created with share-admin when i made those screenshots with the thunar samba share remove custom action and it didn't, but i have to go back and reread everything you put in here just to make sure i've got a better understanding.
i'll stick with the custom action additions for the machine i'm playing on, but these others don't need to do anything more than a single public write folder and maybe a read folder or 2, so i don't see any reason not to just use the share-admin for them, yet.
i think i was just looking to integrate them.

** You cannot remove a share created from shares-admin from a Thunar custom action.i removed all the shares, but i tried to remove the share created with share-admin when i made those screenshots with the thunar samba share remove custom action and it didn't, but i have to go back and reread everything you put in here just to make sure i've got a better understanding.
** Thunar uses Usershares which create and can remove shares defined in /var/lib/samba/usershares.
** Shares-admin creates shares in /etc/samba/smb.conf.
** Theses 2 methods are different kinds of Samba shares, created using 2 totally different mechanisms, and have share definitions in 2 different locations.
** Do not use both methods on the same target folder.
Either method will work but:i'll stick with the custom action additions for the machine i'm playing on, but these others don't need to do anything more than a single public write folder and maybe a read folder or 2, so i don't see any reason not to just use the shares-admin for them, yet.
** At a minimum you will need to do 2 steps as I illustrated in a previous post when you create a writeable public ( i.e., guest ) shares-admin share - create the share and change Linux permissions.
** With Thunar it's only one step.
