Tried this again on Ubuntu 18.10, and I'm happy to report that almost
everything works fine!
- "Other locations" in Nautilus shows my Samba server (after a couple of
seconds)
- I can click on it, get an authentication dialog, then see the shares
- I can click on a share and see the files
- I can click on a file and discover that Totem is still hilariously broken on
Wayland (that's a separate bug)
However some things are still broken:
- "Other locations" in Nautilus shows a "Windows network"
- I can click it and couple of seconds later I get an error dialog saying
"Could not access location" (title): "Couldn't get a list of shares from
server: No such file or directory" (translating from lt_LT again).
gio ls network:/// prints a usage message.
gio list network:/// shows
dnssd-domain-VARLIUS2._smb._tcp
smb-root
(VARLIUS2 is the name of my Samba server)
gio list smb:/// says
gio: smb:///: Location is not a mountpoint
(I'm translating back from lt_LT because no amount of LC_ALL=C
LANGUAGE=en is giving me English error messages, at best I get ?s
instead of UTF-8 characters.)

Title:
nautilus shows Windows Network but fails to open it
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
1. Open Nautilus
2. Click 'Other Locations' in the sidebar
3. Click 'Windows Network'
Expectation:
- a list of local servers with Samba shares
Actual result:
- nothing happens for a while, then a popup saying "Could not get list
of shares from the server: No such file or directory" (I'm translating
back from lt_LT)
journalctl shows these errors:
nautilus[8942]: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: Nepavyko
paleisti antrinio proceso „net“ (Toks failas ar aplankas neegzistuoja)
gvfsd[5799]: mkdir failed on directory /var/cache/samba: Permission denied
gvfsd[5799]: dbus_mount_reply: Error from org.gtk.vfs.Mountable.mount():
Nepavyko iš serverio gauti viešinių sąrašo: Toks failas ar aplankas neegzistuoja
The samba-common package is not installed (nautilus Recommends gvfs-
backends which Suggests samba-common).
It would be nice if Nautilus asked me to install samba-common via
packagekit or something instead of just failing.
(Although just 'samba-common' appears to be insufficient; I still
can't browse the Windows Network in Nautilus after I 'apt install
samba-common'.)
