I have to say that this bug is a dissapointment. The whole samba support in Ubuntu since 18.04 is abysmal. Prior to this, I was able to access shares with no problems, now there is a problem. The bug has been posted one year ago. After changing the protoocol, I discovered I needed to change the interface too, because samba somehow insists on using virtbr0.
Why? These things are a dealbreaker. My wife uses a NAS drive on our network. Each time I tried to show her the advantages of linux, some _basic_ function like using a NAS without configuring a f.. FTP client for her, just coming to the box and finding that it works, prevented her from switching. -- 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/1767454 Title: "Other Locations" does not automatically find Samba servers in Ubuntu 18.04 Status in dolphin: Unknown Status in gvfs: Fix Released Status in OEM Priority Project: New Status in samba: Unknown Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in samba package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Ubuntu: 18.04 clean install Nautilus: 1:3.26.3-0ubuntu4 The actions taken to produce the problem: Click on “Other Locations” in Nautilus. The expected result of these actions: Samba servers to automatically show up under “Networks”. This is the behavior in Ubuntu 17.10 using Nautilus 1:3.26.0-0ub. Also, clicking on “”Windows Network” immediately shows "Folder is Empty". The actual result of these actions: The Samba servers never show up under “Networks” and clicking on "Windows Network" always immediately comes up with "Folder is Empty". Further information: This happens on both machines with a clean Ubuntu 18.04 install. My Ubuntu 17.10 machines still work like expected. I can still manually type in the Samba information in "Connect to Server" and the 18.04 machines connect just fine.
