Ubuntu • PI4 with 8 GB - running Ubuntu 22.04 - Samba doesn't start

Hope somebody can help me. I have a fresh installation with Ubuntu 64 bit. I installed samba with apt update samba. No errors during installation. However the daemon doesn't start.

upon start I get:
sudo systemctl status smbd.service
× smbd.service - Samba SMB Daemon
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/smbd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2024-03-09 19:59:40 CET; 1h 24min ago
Docs: man:smbd(8)
man:samba(7)
man:smb.conf(5)
Main PID: 866 (code=exited, status=127)
CPU: 188ms

Mar 09 19:59:40 Test systemd[1]: smbd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Mar 09 19:59:40 Test systemd[1]: Failed to start Samba SMB Daemon.

my research on the library doesn't bring me anywhere. The samba logs don't reveal anything either. Only thing changed so far is the IP is set to static. What am I missing?
