This is just a guess, I'm probably incorrect. Have you tried changing the workgroup on the Windows 11 machine to 'MANJARO'? It normally defaults to 'WORKGROUP'. Make sure on windows file explorer, you're using forward slashes \server\share instead backward //server/share. If you're having trouble using Windows File Explorer 'Map Network Drive', you can test it using a web browser like Firefox to access it with something like: File://///192.168.0.1/share (replace 192.168.0.1 with the IP of your Manjaro machine and share with your share's name or user's name). It will be different for other web browsers and double check the web in case I made a syntax error. Let me know how it goes. Answer from ExtraSpicyCheese on reddit.com

r/ManjaroLinux on Reddit: Help with Samba share?

October 2, 2024 -

Hello All,

I configured Samba as usual following the arch wiki, but i'm stuck.

I can see the folders but i cant access them on my Windows 11 machine.

Here's my Samba conf file:

Where am i doing it wrong??

GNU nano 8.2 smb.conf

[global]

workgroup = MANJARO

server string = Manjaro Samba Server

server role = standalone server

log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

max log size = 50

guest account = nobody

map to guest = Bad Password

min protocol = SMB2

max protocol = SMB3

[Disk2]

path = /mnt/sdb/Disc2

public = yes

writable = yes

printable = no

[Disk1]

path = /mnt/sdc1/Disc1

public = yes

writable = yes

printable = no

SMB and NMB Services are running i checked it.

Tips? Thanks in advance

r/ManjaroLinux on Reddit: Samba no longer installable on latest manjaro (gnome)

April 21, 2021 -

I can't install samba or nautilus-share extension to locally share the folders though official repos. It was a widely used feature. It seems like pacman doesn't include those packages now. I recently noticed the missing SHARE section onnautilus > Rightclick> folder> properties and thought it was a samba issue. Then I realised samba is no longer present in my system. When I looked up, on the wiki. pamac install nautilus-share manjaro-settings-samba( both are present on official repos only) it still says to install nautilus-share via pacman (which includes samba as a dependency). But pacman/pamac doesn't seem to get any packages from the servers. They still show 404 error. I already tried refreshing the mirrors list.

The service needs started and the service has also been renamed. You can start samba in a terminal by typing: systemctl enable --now smb nmd Then check the status systemctl status smb nmb Samba should now be working for you.

r/ManjaroLinux on Reddit: Any hints for reliably connecting to SMB shares?

December 29, 2022 -

Hey Everyone,

I am having problems watching videos over a network-connection. I have Manjaro Gnome installed on my laptop and I am trying to access my Mac Mini server (Running MacOS Big Sur) over SMB Protocol to watch videos / movies (streaming) on VLC. When I try to open a video on a network-share via smb / VLC, I get the following error message:

VLC is unable to open the MRL ‘smb://pc_name/directory/Scrubs%20-%20S03E02.avi’

What I am trying to understand:

Is a problem with the smb password / authentication (also i don’t think so) - I have set my SMB password inside VLC preferences with no improvements.
All my other devices (Apple Laptops, Windows Laptops, Phones, etc.) can access the Mac Mini server and play videos without ANY issues.

When I copy the file (also over SMB) locally to my laptop, I can then play the video in VLC with NO issues.

So this makes me think it is a SMB / connection issue to the Mac Mini Server, and ONLY with Manjaro, and no other devices.

If anyone has any ideas / feedback / advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help you cam provide!

It may be a bug in VLC's SMB code. The most reliable way in my experience regardless of the protocol is to add the network share to fstab. It will use the kernel drivers and the network file share will work on every application.

r/ManjaroLinux on Reddit: Removing Samba from Manjaro KDE

June 14, 2023 -

When I try to remove Samba, which I do not use in my stand-alone Manjaro KDE installation, I get the following message: "could not satisfy dependencies:- removing samba breaks dependency 'samba' required by kdenetwork-filesharing".

Why is it required, and can I change the file dependency so I can remove Samba?

Top answer

looks like it is needed by KDE for the file sharing component of the file explorer. Why do you need to remove it?

2 of 3

As others have said, it's easier just to disable the samba service and leave it alone. Pamac tells me it's taking up a mere 59.1MB. You wouldn't save any significant space and it does no harm just sitting there inactive. Simply sudo systemctl disable samba if it's running. BUT in case you're feeling adventurous: The dependencies appear to be: kdenetwork-filesharing which is a: "Properties dialog plugin to share a directory with the local network" (a function of your desktop environment) and manjaro-settings-samba which simply "Adds an smb.conf file for Manjaro and enables samba". You can try and remove kdenetwork-filesharing, it doesn't appear to be required by anything else, it's just installed along with KDE. Then try removing manjaro-settings-samba which is likewise not required by anything, just installed along with Manjaro for convenience. You should then be able to uninstall samba with both of those removed. Do make a timeshift backup to roll back to in case something goes wrong. Also - gentoo is overkill for this sort of thing. Sure you can compile and install KDE without the kdenetwork-filesharing but that's a lot of hassle to go through for just that. note: you can run pamac info to see both its dependencies and any packages that require it, along with how much disk space it uses, and other useful information. If you are really concerned about disk space and wanting a super-lean system, you could consider using plain vanilla arch, and build up your ideal OS from the ground up. You might run into the same issue again if you decide to install plasma-desktop as kdenetwork-filesharing may still be among the optional dependencies or installed along with the meta-package. Worth looking in to, if you go this route.
