Same here... I have started with 14.04LTS and I could reach a Win2008 machine. After several updates, somewhere in the first quarter of 2016, I believe something things got strange. I purged samba and reinstalled it - no change.
I have several personal shared folders, made from nautilus, and all Win machines can reach them (as guest user). However, I can not reach a Win2008 server or other Win7 - shared folder. Both gvfs-mount and nautilus dialogue keep asking for password/domain again and again. Setting aforementioned combinations such as: client lanman auth = no client ntlmv2 auth = no client ntlm = yes .. does not help. So I have browsed the old /etc/samba/ and have found several older smb.conf files: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9542 Mar 1 2015 smb.conf.old.gadmin-samba-0.3.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9542 Jun 11 2015 smb.conf.ucf-dist Basically, these two old were from time when everything was ok, and guess what, after I have copied them in smb.conf, nautilus and gvfs-mount still were not working (and keep asking for password/domain). There you have it. It is not a thing in smb.conf, but (my best guess) the bug is probably in gvfs-mont. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510059 Title: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/510059/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
