Again: gvfs-backends is installed (it was removed without my knowledge during the update from Ubuntu 19.10 to 20.04 beta). Perhaps you should not install a beta version on a productive system ;-)
When I want to mount the drive as in Ubuntu 19.10, I get: $ gio mount smb://192.168.178.1/sharename Password required for share sharename on 192.168.178.1 User [SessionUserName]: NewUserIfDifferent Domain [WORKGROUP]: NewDomainIfDifferent Password: PassWord In Ubuntu 20.04 beta I still get (after manual installation of `gvfs- backends`, which was removed during the update from 19.10 to the beta $ gio mount smb://192.168.178.1/sharename gio: smb://192.168.178.1/sharename/: Failed to mount Windows share: Software caused connection abort So, Ubuntu 20.04 does not request to enter the user, domain/workgroup, password at all. Remark: I could mount the drive via "sudo mount -t cifs ..." using the "vers=1.0" switch in all Ubuntu versions, also in 20.04 beta. Should I open a new bug? The error and it's error message is now different. That the beta installer did remove the package `gvfs- backends`, I will not test again, because I have only productive 19.10 systems. I had several small glitches during the installation, so also the repositories were grilled away but one - I am doing this since 2008 at least twice a year on at least 2 laptops, mostly I start with the beta version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872286 Title: gio - cifs mount smb not possible "Location is not mountable" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/glib/+bug/1872286/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
