I am still having this issue every time I reboot, on Ubuntu Desktop v23.10.
The "gvfs" package installed is version "1.52.0-1". This issue is 100% reproducible, and my work-around still demonstrates that the package itself (gvfs) has the capabilities of solving this itself. Instead of failing, producing a not-helpful error, it should simply re-init the relevant components that re-init when I do the "killall gvfsd-smb-browse" after trying to browser the SMB Server. While I have not looked at the code, I know programming well-enough that a basic re-init in this scenario should be a trivial amount of code to write, as a basic work-around until a proper solution is identified. Either way, is this even going anywhere? Are any Devs reading this at all? (Canonical or otherwise) This issue is coming up to 5 years old, and frankly the UX here is unacceptable, potentially even threatening the usability in professional settings. Can we please get a proper solution here? Or at minimum, a built-in stop-gap solution as I have roughly described? -- 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 .
