I have been having some issues with my SMB share though Dolphin (Fedora 42), where I cannot write to the share giving me access denied, despite all other computers working. I got it working now using cifs-utils and having that automount in fstab, but I don’t like that approach as Dolphin refuses to open if I have a VPN on, but with the “built-in” smb share that you can do if you go to Network→Shared Folders (SMB), It doesn’t refuse to open and works. It still gives me the access denied (built in one) when I try to write, even though the cifs-utils mount lets me write to the server. If someone could help me fix this that’d be appreciated.

Having the same issue today. Gnome work Laptop working fine with SMB access.
Sorry for the regression.
It is fixed, will be released in next KDE Framework release.
I read in another thread that the next KDE Framework release is going to be on November 14th for version 6.20. That’s about a month away. Is it possible to get a hotfix release that fixes the smb write bug sooner to resolve this issue? The business I am working at just moved our computer units over to Fedora Linux about 3 weeks ago. My boss wants me to inquire if hotfixes are a thing.
I backported the fix to 6.19 and built my own package to fix it for my machines.
This solution though is not portable and needs to be manually built on any machine it’s used.
I think your best chance is to go ask Fedora’s maintainers if that’s a possibility. They could release a version which includes the MR 2022 in question as a patch. Also you can see there, the devs are talking about a notice to all distributions for a possible hotfix version.
That’s really not common for KDE Frameworks, we can recommend distributions to backport the fix, some do follow recommendations.
Anyone can do it on their own with the necessary skill set of course.
You can also switch to 6.18 (I don’t know if that’s possible for fedora), there isn’t a real drawback.
Arch already released a fixed version: upgpkg: 6.19.0-2: Backport smb write permissions fix (0d6fa30a) · Commits · Arch Linux / Packaging / Packages / kio · GitLab
I saw the thread with the developers chain of communication. Thank you for bringing the subject up.
man, I’ve been trying to just adjust little things for like 6 hours, almost nothing was possible, I finally gave up on not adjusting thinsg and I was about to backup+reformat my NTFS drives, and now this happened LOL
Did you update KDE Frameworks to 6.19.1 ?
Hopefully your distro will have it available, or you will have to wait 6.20 for distro that won’t ship it.
Sorry again for the regression.
Version 6.19.1 of kf6-kio is available in the Fedora testing repos now.
