Workaround ========== Until gvfs-smb is fixed, use the kernel samba client (cifs) that works reliably, is faster, but needs some terminal commands to get going: # sudo -s # mkdir /mnt/cifs # mount -t cifs -o user=YOUR_SAMBA_USER -o uid=YOUR_LINUX_USER "//SAMBA_SERVER/SAMBA_SHARE" /mnt/cifs It will ask for you password, you can then access the shared files at /mnt/cifs.
