No write access to samba share

imagine

  • Kubuntu Desktop 18.04, Tower
  • Lubuntu desktop 18.04, laptop
  • Windows 10, laptop

Kubuntu

[kubuntu_home]
   path = /home/myusername
   available = yes
   valid users = myusername
   read only = no
   browseable = yes
   public = yes
   writable = yes
  • I thought there was a typo on the site, but when I checked on samba.org I found it was .writablewriteable

Lubuntu

$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=myusername,password=mypassword //192.168.###.###/kubuntu_home /mnt/kubuntu_home

Windows

question

In Lubuntu, I can read the file but not write.

  • In Kubuntu, show ls -l ~files and directories as belonging to myusername myusername.
  • In Lubuntu, show ls -l /mnt/kubuntu_home/all files and folders as belonging to root root.
  • Somewhere along the way, I saw an add force user = myusernameto smb.conf. This didn't make any difference.
  • There is no problem reading/writing from Windows.

Own the mounted share so it's owned by you, not root.

change this:

$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=myusername,password=mypassword //192.168.###.###/kubuntu_home /mnt/kubuntu_home

To this:

$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=myusername,password=mypassword,uid=1000 //192.168.###.###/kubuntu_home /mnt/kubuntu_home

By adding uid =1000 to the options list.

Note: Your uid number may not be 1000 on your Lubuntu machine. To verify that number is running idin a terminal and change the mount command if necessary.
