For what it's worth, I *think* I have the same bug. Recently set up a home server with vanilla Ubuntu 23.10, up to date, using Samba (currently samba:amd64 2:4.18.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1). To access the shares from Windows 10 machines, for some reason I had to activate CIFS/SMB1.0 client functionality. On Ubuntu machines, also running up-to-date Ubuntu 23.10, Nautilus wants me to log into the server (before listing the shares, even if guest login is enabled on Samba) but fails anyway, not displaying shares.
I for one am glad I found @bloodyiron's workaround (killall gvfsd-smb- browse) -- it does fix the issue, the shares instantly become visible and accessible with guest/anonymous login. My previous workaround was to ctrl-L to access the address bar and use smb://path_to_server/share to access the shares using a GUI. I get that the bug is originating from upstream. But on the other hand, in my case, I set up Samba shares from the most recent Ubuntu release, and cannot access it by default, using the default file browser of another up-to-date Ubuntu install. I would have thought that this would be a common use case, and hence rather important to fix one way or the other. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828107 Title: gvfs can't list shares from smb servers that disabled SMB1 Status in gvfs: Fix Released Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: After bug #1778322 is fixed (just needs a gvfs rebuild with newer samba), samba machines will start to show up again in the "windows network" tab in nautilus. But if a server has disabled the SMB1 protocol, nautilus will show an error when that server is clicked on, instead of showing the shares list. Even with SMB1 disabled, it should still be technically possible to get a share list, since smbclient can do it: andreas@nsnx:~$ nmblookup -A 192.168.122.101 Looking up status of 192.168.122.101 D-NO-SMB1 <00> - B <ACTIVE> D-NO-SMB1 <03> - B <ACTIVE> D-NO-SMB1 <20> - B <ACTIVE> ..__MSBROWSE__. <01> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE> WORKGROUP <00> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE> WORKGROUP <1d> - B <ACTIVE> WORKGROUP <1e> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE> MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00 andreas@nsnx:~$ smbclient -L 192.168.122.101 -N WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- print$ Disk Printer Drivers pub_no_smb1 Disk IPC$ IPC IPC Service (d-no-smb1 server (Samba, Ubuntu)) Reconnecting with SMB1 for workgroup listing. protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_NETWORK_RESPONSE Failed to connect with SMB1 -- no workgroup available andreas@nsnx:~$ smbclient //192.168.122.101/pub_no_smb1 -U ubuntu%ubuntu -m NT1 WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_NETWORK_RESPONSE andreas@nsnx:~$ smbclient //192.168.122.101/pub_no_smb1 -U ubuntu%ubuntu -m SMB2 WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated Try "help" to get a list of possible commands. smb: \> dir .
