Fedora 39
KDE DE
Current Login: "User" with Password "1"
This allows me to connect to the share; however, it is "empty" on both the local and the remote machines.
I've followed at least 5-6 guides all w/ completely different instructions and would love somebody w/ experience on this to point to my fuck up and what I'm very clearly missing.
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
[share]
path = /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F/
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
create mask = 0777
public = yes
guest ok = yes
sudo nano /etc/fstab
/dev/disk/by-uuid/D02A6F152A6EF7BC /mnt/D02A6F152A6EF7BC auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0

Dolphin also has this tab below (local machine w/ the mounted drive), but any password input doesn't do anything (the explorer flashes w/ no info about what the "Set Password" button did)
Did you read the docs about SELinux? Maybe this will help you
Firewall and SELinux can mess up FTP and SMB
So if I had to guess morethanevil, this is the line that ended up fixing it! Really appreciate it, because everything else seemed to fall into place after this:
I really appreciate all of your help Certainly_No_Brit! I had it set up in such a ridiculous way, but your assistance really helped me grasp why each guide was so wildly different (creation vs. adding a remote SMB on linux). After it worked, I could look up the network drive in Dolphin/Windows File Explorer in a very normal manner and can access all of the files :)!
Maybe your issue was with your firewall or permission in some regard unknowing8343? I still really prefer Windows' method (gag), but this was certainly very doable w/ the SELinux tweaks in the link above.
I had the same problem with Fedora, as I started to use it as my server OS for my homelab. SELinux can be tricky, expect the same if you ever run FTP. Webservers are different too. Bookmark the Fedora dics, they are very useful ☺️
You can disable SELinux completly if you struggle too much. Firewalld is another part to learn, but you can switch easily to ufw if you want. Uninstall firewalld and install ufw
Appreciate it! Yeah everything that sounds like it would be easy, always has a fun extra hurdle on Fedora it seems haha.
Still loving it :)
