Title: Cannot connect to guest Windows share Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: My printer offers up a windows share. It's a guest share with no username/password required. It used to be accessible to me by typing smb://epsonxp830.local/usbstorage into nautilus, or by browsing the Network to get there. Now I am unable to connect. I get a dialog box up that says "Password required for share usbstorage on epsonxp380.local" although it offers an Anonymous radio element option. Clicking Connect here yields nothing. Just a pause and then the same dialog comes up. I can connect to the share using smbclient OK, and it works from a Windows machine I have access to, too. Seems to be just the gvfs (I'm guessing) integration. $ smbclient -N //epsonxp830.local/usbstorage WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[EPSON Storage Server] Server=[NQ 6.2] smb: \> dir EPSCAN D 0 Fri Feb 5 09:09:54 2016 59088 blocks of size 262144. 59072 blocks available smb: \> % ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: gvfs 1.28.1-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-18.34-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-18-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon Apr 18 14:23:08 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-03-21 (28 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Alpha amd64 (20160307) SourcePackage: gvfs UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1571664/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
