I am able to connect to a windows share drive, i.e., in nautilus, typing smb://zeus gives me the following error: "Could not display "smb://zeus/". Error failed to retrieve share list from server. Please select another viewer and try again.
while the following works: smb://zeus/D (where D is the name of the share) . Unable to browse share drives available for a particular host. This I could do on my Ubuntu 10.10 system, now in upgrading to 12.04, it is broken. I've attempted various work-arounds found via google search and failed, including: 1. install winbind 2. add wins to the hosts list in the nsswitch.conf file 3. uncomment name resolve configuration in smb.conf file (name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins ) 4. add various lines to smb.conf file client lanman auth = Yes lanman auth = Yes None worked for me.. -- 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/914578 Title: nautilus failed retrieve samba shared folders from windows 12.04 Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04 arch x86_64 On "Browse Network" nautilus shows all the computers on the network.
