samba-mounter/ samba: error message when searching smb://

[star-buck]

it used to work normally before in netrunner debian, so not sure if something is missing or it stopped working on latest manjaro

I've been looking into this, with the help of @apachelogger who knows how SMB works much better than I do. This issue lives entirely in KIO (It's a KUrlRequester).

While I wasn't able to reproduce the issue (and much less to fix), here's some thoughts that maybe nudge us in the right direction:
nss-mdns needs to be present for resolved systems to be connected properly.

To get logs we can do so by calling:
KDE_FORK_SLAVES=1 QT_LOGGING_RULES=log_kio_smb=true systemsettings5 sambamount

That often gives information about the error messages we get.

Also the following commands should help figure out if the information can be accessed properly:

avahi-resolve-host-name tmulti100.local
getent ahosts tmulti100.local
