Public bug reported:
After using Browse Network in thunar and clicking on a machine name with
samba shares the following message is displayed: Failed to retrieve
share list from server: File exists.
Previously in Ubuntu 16.04, instead of getting this error message, a
popup window is displayed allowing one to enter a
username/password/domain after which the shares on the machine are
enumerated. So, I believe this may be a regression.
If, instead of browsing the Network and clicking on a machine, the user
manually enters a direct URL to the samba share, e.g.
smb://machine.local/share, then the popup window is displayed and the
user is able to connect. So this procedure can be used as a work
around.
Also, I noticed that in Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04, manually installing the
libreoffice-gnome package is required to open documents on samba shares.
While not necessarily a bug, this seems very problematic for new users
since most would probably like to open and work with documents on samba
shares and the solution is far from obvious.
Thanks for your work on Xubuntu! Hopefully these are simple fixes that
will make the onboard experience a little better.
