Hello everyone, very new to freedombox and home server stuff. Apologies in advance if it is a simple fix.
the following error appears in Cockpit > Servcies > nmb
nmb ! Not Running (Error) Masked
When I click on nmb
strong text Danger alert:error
Unit nmb.service failed to load properly, please adjust/correct and reload service manager: File exists
Any suggestions are much apprciated.
Thanks!
This service is used by the Samba app. Is Samba installed and enabled on your system?
EDIT: See vexch’s correct answer below.
The nmb service is disabled by Freedombox as it is not needed to run Samba. nmb is an alias to the nmbd service, which is disabled and masked. To clear this error message, Freedombox can also mask the nmb service. So it is OK that the nmb service is not running.
Sounds good!
Samba is installed and working so I thought it was strange since that was the first time I saw it.
Thank you!
