Setting up Samba share manjaro kde

Support Network

I used to have no issues doing a basic Samba share of my two storage drives I always mount them at

/mnt/hunter/drive1
and
/mnt/hunter/drive2

is there a newbies guide to setting samba up on manjaro something really easy for a dummy to follow?
the way I am used to doing it and had worked for me in the past no longer works. I tried the arch wiki but it is confusing to me. I have a learning difficulty and I get lost.

This is what has worked for me in the past it was easy and I don’t need anything more than this.

Hi @Roo79x,

What error are you presented with is you try to start SAMBA in the terminal?

sudo systemctl start smb.service

Edit:

P.S.: When providing terminal output, paste it between three (3) backtics (```). Like this:

```
pasted text
```

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Bibendum dolor
metus placerat accumsan
id elit
purus maximus tincidunt
urna maximus
metus aliquam eros.

Instead of like this:

Bibendum dolor metus placerat accumsan id elit purus maximus tincidunt urna maximus metus aliquam eros.

Thereby improving legibility and making it easier for those trying to be of assistance.

Please edit your post accordingly.
