I decided to try switching over to Linux recently and installed CachyOS. So far, I've got my system almost working 100% the way I need it to except for sabnzbd.
System:
Operating System: CachyOS Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1
Kernel Version: 6.12.8-2-cachyos (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor
Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER/PCIe/SSE2
Unraid server: 6.12.14
1: I can't set the watched folder to my desktop or the download folder.
2: The folders I want to download to are on my Unraid server at: smb://plexbox.local/data/torrents/complete and smb://plexbox.local/data/torrents/incomplete
3: In Windows it was all working fine, so I'm assuming it's a permissions issue in CachyOS?
Right now, sabnzbd is accessible through the web interface. I can add an .nzb manually and it appears to download fine, but it's buried in /var/lib/sabnzbd/Downloads.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks

Re: New Linux install: Can't set Watch and Downloads folders [to remote SMB location]
I've add "[to remote SMB location]" to your question, because that is the essential part. Plus it's from Linux.
And that is very, very hard. SABnzbd itself can't do that for you. What you must do: mount the SMB drive(s) from your Linux (CachyOS). And make sure it's writable.
If you're unlucky, you must set it up it from /etc/fstab. Or CLI commands.
