Created attachment 178916 [details] Error modal window screenshot. SUMMARY ------- `dolphin-24.12.2-1.fc41.x86_64` doesn't enable `smb.service` if its preset is set to `disabled`, and/or it is unstarted. STEPS TO REPRODUCE ------------------ What *I* did is the undermentioned, so it deliberately isn't generalised for *trivial* reproduction elsewhere, but is reproducible: 1. Installed `cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:41`. 2. Installed `dolphin-24.12.2-1.fc41.x86_64`: ~~~sh #!/usr/bin/env sh sudo dnf5 --refresh install -y dolphin-24.12.2-1.fc41.x86_64 ~~~ 3. Navigated to [`$HOME/Public`][1]. 4. Right-clicked. 5. Selected the "Properties" context menu entry. 6. Selected the "Share" tab. 7. Created a Samba password. 8. Authorised the creation of a new Samba user, as prompted to by PolKit. 9. Enabled sharing the directory via my LAN. 10. Selected the "OK" button. OBSERVED RESULT --------------- > `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. EXPECTED RESULT --------------- The service should have been automatically enabled. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS -------------------- 1. ~~~sh #!/usr/bin/env sh kinfo ~~~ 2. > ~~~YAML > Operating System: Fedora Linux 41 > KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.1 > KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0 > Qt Version: 6.8.2 > Kernel Version: 6.13.4-200.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit) > ~~~ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ---------------------- Originally discussed at [`discuss.kde.org/t/30396/3`][2].
