Public bug reported:
Nautilus: 1:3.26.3-0ubuntu4
In Ubuntu 17.10 I could go into "Other Locations -> Windows Network" and
my Samba servers would automatically show up. I did a clean install of
Ubuntu 18.04 on two machines. Now, "Windows Network" immediately comes
up with "Folder is Empty" on the two 18.04 machines and the Samba
servers are no longer automatically found. My 17.10 machines still work
fine.
However, I can still manually type in the information in "Connect to
Server" and the 18.04 machines connect just fine.
It's the "automatically finding the servers" part that is no longer
working.
I suspect it's related to the problem that 18.04 is no longer
automatically finding printers like 17.10 did either.
