Public bug reported: 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'.)
