[Bug 1767454] Re: "Other Locations" does not automatically find Samba servers in Ubuntu 18.04

Mon Apr 30 19:09:36 UTC 2018

Fresh 18.04 install and  install of smbclient.

david at david-HP-ProBook-440-G2:~$ smbtree
WORKGROUP
    \\RT-AC5300-C140         RT-AC5300-C140

        \\DXSPIDER\RaspberryPi NAS    Pi Server
        \\DXSPIDER\print$             Printer Drivers

That is showing my servers, but Nautilus still doesn't...

This is my default smb.conf in 18.04:

[global]

   workgroup = WORKGROUP
   server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
   dns proxy = no
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
   max log size = 1000
   syslog = 0
   panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
   server role = standalone server
   passdb backend = tdbsam
   obey pam restrictions = yes
   unix password sync = yes
   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
   passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
   pam password change = yes
   map to guest = bad user
   usershare allow guests = yes

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   browseable = no
   path = /var/spool/samba
   printable = yes
   guest ok = no
   read only = yes
   create mask = 0700

[print$]
   comment = Printer Drivers
   path = /var/lib/samba/printers
   browseable = yes
   read only = yes
   guest ok = no

Title:
  "Other Locations" does not automatically find Samba servers in Ubuntu
  18.04

Status in gvfs:
  Confirmed
Status in samba:
  Unknown
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu: 18.04 clean install
  Nautilus: 1:3.26.3-0ubuntu4

  The actions taken to produce the problem:
  Click on “Other Locations” in Nautilus.

  The expected result of these actions:
  Samba servers to automatically show up under “Networks”. This is the behavior in Ubuntu 17.10 using Nautilus 1:3.26.0-0ub. Also, clicking on “”Windows Network” immediately shows "Folder is Empty".

  The actual result of these actions:
  The Samba servers never show up under “Networks” and clicking on "Windows Network" always immediately comes up with "Folder is Empty".

  Further information:
  This happens on both machines with a clean Ubuntu 18.04 install. My Ubuntu 17.10 machines still work like expected.

  I can still manually type in the Samba information in "Connect to
  Server" and the 18.04 machines connect just fine.
