I understand. I would however like to make a final note about Linux to Linux samba use - at least in a home network.
If the server is running Ubuntu 17.10 or later ( with avahi-daemon installed ) this bug is not relevant because the samba client isn't using gvfsd-smb-browse. The sever automatically publishes its presence with the default "multicast dns register = yes" parameter in samba. All Linux machines as well as any MacOS box will see the host automatically using Avahi / Bonjour under "Other Locations" directly without having to go through Windows Network. Under these conditions the client can use SMB3 to connect not SMB1 because gvfsd-smb-browse isn't getting in the way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1778322 Title: gvfs-smb-browse can't browse samba/smb tree To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1778322/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
