[SOLVED] Unable to rename file via kio smb

[andyesten]

Hi All,

I am unable to rename a file on a SMB-share (Synology) using Dolphin/kio_smb. After I rename a file I can see a progress indicator in the KDE message area. This indicator will never finish and when I refresh Dolphin the old filename is back again.

In de ~/.xsession-error file I can see the following messages:

kio_smb: old name = QUrl("smb://ramses/home/hello.sh") , new name = QUrl("smb://ramses/home/oeps.sh")
kio_smb: updateCache "/home/hello.sh"
kio_smb: updateCache "/home/oeps.sh"
kio_smb: stat dst
kio_smb: size 0
kio_smb: smbc_rename "smb://ramses/home/hello.sh" "smb://ramses/home/oeps.sh"
kio_smb: failed
kio_smb: size 65
kio_smb: exit with error
kf5.kio.core: rename() did not call finished() or error()! Please fix the "smb.so" KIO slave

Is this a known bug or am I missing something?

Andy

Update: with a local installed Samba-server (instead Synology) everything seems to work fine.

Update2: Found the cause. Synology accept SMB2 and higher connections. In Ubuntu 18 the smbclient also accepts connections above SMB1 resulting in a connection without Unix CIFS calls support. This causes the rename error. The workaround is to configure Synology only to accept SMB1 connections. ;-(
