[Bug 356022] Re: unable to mount or browse samba networks

[mlaverdiere]

Like mentioned earlier, it seems that the "failed to retrieve shares
list from server" problem may me related to the lack of samba package on
an out of the box Ubuntu installation.  Having the samba package
installed appears to fix the problem or, at least, in more complex
situation, be one of the steps involved in fixing it.  See the default
package listing fro 12.04 where there is no samba package, while other
related samba package are present:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.manifest

** Package changed: gvfs (Ubuntu) => samba (Ubuntu)
