The shared folders are not shared anymore

[NelsonSR]

Nicotine+ version: 3.0.4-202104072302~ubuntu21.04.1
Operating System/Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux 10.9 «Buster»

Describe the bug

The shared folders are not shared (private nor public). A BrowseShares request causes hang-ups of some functions like transfer queue, file searching, and tabs closing. The main menu is still functional allowing disconnection and closing.

Expected behavior

The public shared folder should be accessible.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Browse public shares.
Wait for a BrowseShares request.

Additional context

Screenshots, logs, stacktraces or relevant information.

The shared folder permission hasn't changed, the permission was 755 (changed to 775 with no improvement). A possible cause was the resetting of the configuration due to the home partition filled up.

~/.nicotine/config
shared = [('Music', '/opt/music'), ('eBooks', '/var/calibre_library')]

[Warn] Exception during parsing SharedFileList: a bytes-like object is required, not 'NoneType'

This should be fixed in the unstable build.

I use the stable release so I guess I'll have to wait some time to get that fix.
