This is about a bug in this piece of software, and not about finding another piece of software to take its place. wsdd, as you proposed, is not included by default in Ubuntu.
The point of seeking a fix for this issue is so that the UX, out of the box, is better than it is now. Users should not have to install another tool to get this basic functionality working. I would like to remind those reading that this issue was posted ALMOST FOUR YEARS ago. And the "temporary workaround" is to kill the process so it reinitalises. Can we PLEASE get this fixed already?!?!?!? -- 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/1828107 Title: gvfs can't list shares from smb servers that disabled SMB1 Status in gvfs: New Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: After bug #1778322 is fixed (just needs a gvfs rebuild with newer samba), samba machines will start to show up again in the "windows network" tab in nautilus. But if a server has disabled the SMB1 protocol, nautilus will show an error when that server is clicked on, instead of showing the shares list. Even with SMB1 disabled, it should still be technically possible to get a share list, since smbclient can do it: andreas@nsnx:~$ nmblookup -A 192.168.122.101 Looking up status of 192.168.122.101 D-NO-SMB1 <00> - B <ACTIVE> D-NO-SMB1 <03> - B <ACTIVE> D-NO-SMB1 <20> - B <ACTIVE> ..__MSBROWSE__. <01> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE> WORKGROUP <00> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE> WORKGROUP <1d> - B <ACTIVE> WORKGROUP <1e> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE> MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00 andreas@nsnx:~$ smbclient -L 192.168.122.101 -N WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- print$ Disk Printer Drivers pub_no_smb1 Disk IPC$ IPC IPC Service (d-no-smb1 server (Samba, Ubuntu)) Reconnecting with SMB1 for workgroup listing. protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_NETWORK_RESPONSE Failed to connect with SMB1 -- no workgroup available andreas@nsnx:~$ smbclient //192.168.122.101/pub_no_smb1 -U ubuntu%ubuntu -m NT1 WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_NETWORK_RESPONSE andreas@nsnx:~$ smbclient //192.168.122.101/pub_no_smb1 -U ubuntu%ubuntu -m SMB2 WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated Try "help" to get a list of possible commands. smb: \> dir .
