If I double click it, it then lists *some* of my shares. Specifically, it lists those where I didn't use Samba's 'access based share enumeration = yes'[1] (which allows some shares to be made completely invisible to some users). Note that Ubuntu has *not* yet asked me to authenticate, so it makes sense that I shouldn't yet be able to see shares I'm not entitled to. The bug is: even after I authenticate (and let it remember my password), then go back to Other Locations>MyServer, it *still* doesn't show the other shares. In fact, I can't find *any* way to see the other shares. Contrast this with macOS Finder. If I navigate to MyServer in the share list, it doesn't show *any* shares until I authenticate, then it shows *all* shares that the user has access to (and none of the shares the user doesn't have access to). Ubuntu could either: - adopt macOS Finder behaviour and get authentication first, or - update the share list after authentication is performed. Its current behaviour makes some shares totally inaccessible (the crux of the bug). I doubt it matters, but my server is: FreeNAS 11.2-U4 (current newest) using ZFS, running samba 4.9.6. Other users on the FreeNAS forum see the same behaviour[2], so it's not particular to my setup.
