Dolphin Failed to Create Network Share, Can't share a folder

Support Network

I want to share a folder with the local network, but Dolphin displays an error that says:
Samba internals report:
net usershare: usershares are currently disabled

How are you trying to do this?

This should have most all the info you need…

Thanks for your reply! I followed the steps provided on the wiki but now Dolphin displays a different error:
An error occurred while trying to share the directory. The share has not been created.

Samba internals report:

net usershare add: cannot convert name “Everyone” to a SID. The transport-connection attempt was refused by the remote system… Maybe smbd is not running.

Contents of config file

cat /etc/samba/smb.conf

Checking services (not all of these are necessarily required)

systemctl status smb nmb avahi-daemon

Checking ufw firewall (in the case you use this you must create a rule)

sudo ufw status

Current samba users

sudo pdbedit -L -v

I’d also ask for the info on the share folder - ownership and permissions particularly - but I dont know that path.

Contents of smb.config

[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
   usershare path = /var/lib/samba/usershares
   usershare max shares = 100

   usershare owner only = yes
   
   min protocol = SMB2
   max protocol = SMB3

   path = /srv/samba/share-name
   public = yes

   printable = no

And also the status of the services

Ah well that needs to be started.

systemctl enable smb --now

Oh and … we dont really need that pdbedit content … and it contains username and such … you can go ahead and remove that.
