Just to add another voice to the crowd, I'm on Xubuntu 20.04 and I just
ran across this problem myself.
I am using the Nemo file browser, but the same thing occurs with
Nautilus and Thunar. I didn't notice the problem for a long while
because I had three legacy Windows machines on the network (all running
Windows 10 at this point) and had made file browser bookmarks to the
important shares long ago. These bookmarks have continued to work to
this day without issue. I got a new Windows 10 machine a few weeks ago
and was having the problem everyone reports of not being able to connect
("Failed to retrieve share list from server") on the new machine, even
though all the existing bookmarks were still functioning file. All of
the Windows 10 machines were able to see one another without problem.
Then I ran across this thread and tried Bloodyiron's suggestion of
killing the gvfsd-smb-browse process. Immediately I was able to connect
to the new machine using Nemo. I quickly created some needed bookmarks
to the important shares and now I can communicate using the file browser
and expect the new bookmarks to be as reliable as the others. So I
would suggest this bookmark method to others as a workaround.
This supports Craig W's comment about the difference between discovery
and browsing. When I run "smbclient -L //<ip_address> -U <user>", it
reports all of the shares on the target, whether Windows or Linux, with
the closing message: "SMB1 disabled -- no workgroup available" as
expected.
Unfortunately, this is only a one-way solution. All of the legacy
Windows 10 machines can see and access the Samba shares on the Xubuntu
box, but I haven't yet figured out a way to get the new Windows machine
to access these same shares, with or without gvfsd-smb-browse running.
Every connection attempt is rejected and I haven't found useful messages
in the logs. If I figure out a solution, I'll post here, and I'm open
to suggestions.
I agree with the general sentiment that for a service as important as
this, there isn't any real excuse for this thing dragging out for two
years as it has.
