Hi

I am running a musicserver, Logitech Media Server (LMS), on a
Raspberry Pi 3b+ with the program PiCorePlayer. PiCoreplayer comes as
an image you can copy to a SD-card, and then run on a Pi. Picoreplayer
runs as a program with GUID over Tiny Core Linux. All control goes via
the GUID, where you can mount a SSD, and also install and set up
Samba. Samba is installed with a click on a button and configured via
a few simple text-boxes. All works fine and I can access files and
copy new music files via local net to the Raspi-SSD from my Windows
PC.

With that working so fine and missing the Raspi 3B+, now running as
music server, I have bought a Raspi 4 8MB, installed Ubuntu Desktop
22.04, hoping that it could serve as an extra PC, and also be used for tinkering with small electronic projects.
But sharing files is a problem. I can access windows shares in Ubuntu,
using Files->Other Locations and enter the address of the windows
folder. But the other way, right clicking on a folder in Ubuntu and
selecting "Local Network Share" will not work. I have installed Samba
via instructions I googled, and got errormessages underways. Please
see the listing at the end of this message.
I think filesharing is set up correctly in windows, since the samba
share from the music-server works fine. But shares made in Ubuntu
22.04 ends with and errormessage concerning missing permission at the
last step. Tried a few different approaches, it starts well, but all
ends with the message about missing permissions.

As a novice to Linux I have googled a lot and tried a lot, and just
read an article about some issues with Ubuntu 22.04. So maybe it is
best to just test with an other Linux distribution? recommandations
please?

Here is a listing of error messages after one of the attempts to start
WSDD. All steps installing samba before this one were successful.
Also tried another guys guiding, but after working some steps in
Terminal, he started a graphic version of Samba, and that it not to be
found in Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop.

Listing:

jyttejesper@jkrp4:/tmp$ sudo systemctl start wsdd

system error.

And here follows the instructions I followed to get wsdd up and
running:

Change to /tmp directory.

cd /tmp

Download and unzip the archive.

wget https://github.com/christgau/wsdd/archive/master.zip

unzip master.zip

Rename wsdd.py to wsdd.

sudo mv wsdd-master/src/wsdd.py wsdd-master/src/wsdd

Copy to /usr/bin.

sudo cp wsdd-master/src/wsdd /usr/bin

Copy wsdd to /etc/systemd/system.

sudo cp wsdd-master/etc/systemd/wsdd.service /etc/systemd/system

Open wsdd.service in nano and comment out User=nobody and Group=nobody
with a ; semicolon.

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/wsdd.service

/etc/systemd/system/wsdd.service

[Unit]
Description=Web Services Dynamic Discovery host daemon
; Start after the network has been configured
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target
; It makes sense to have Samba running when wsdd starts, but is not
required
;Wants=smb.service

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/wsdd --shortlog
; Replace those with an unprivledged user/group that matches your
environment,
; like nobody/nogroup or daemon:daemon or a dedicated user for wsdd
; User=nobody
; Group=nobody
; The following lines can be used for a chroot execution of wsdd.
; Also append '--chroot /run/wsdd/chroot' to ExecStart to enable
chrooting
;AmbientCapabilities=CAP_SYS_CHROOT
;ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/install -d -o nobody -g nobody -m 0700
/run/wsdd/chroot
;ExecStopPost=rmdir /run/wsdd/chroot

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save and exit (press CTRL + X, press Y and then press ENTER)

Reload daemon.

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Start and enable wsdd.

sudo systemctl start wsdd
