As well as removing hosts lookup in the smb.conf file (#29) you can also prevent this behaviour by installing the libnss-winbind package and adding wins to the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf
Ex: hosts: files wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns That should allow samba to find all the hosts it sees in broadcasts, without sending the lookup to the broken dns server(s). Alternatively, you an modify your search domain so you don't inherit an internet domain from the router. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1409032 Title: gvfsd-smb: very high CPU utilisation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1409032/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
