Nautilus SMB Share connect Fails after dnf update smb*-packages

Problem

Since updating Fedora 35 yesterday morning I cannot reach my NAS smb-share via Nautilus nor Dejavu.

Nautilus tells me: Failed to retrieve share list from server: Software caused connection abort
I tried IP and also network name connect. Both doesn’t work.

When I connect in Terminal via smbclient it works :frowning:

Cause (Maybe?)

smbclient \server\XXX works fine

See this bug report, it could be the cause of your problem. If not, report a new bug against gvfs or samba in bugzilla.

I’ll move this topic out of Proposed common issues until the problem is figured out properly. When we know if it affects many people and roughly why, and it seems to be a problem which will not be immediately fixed, we can create a proper description then.

There is another workaround: include your username in the smb:// URL that you provide to Nautilus. Use smb://username@host/<share>/ instead of just smb://host/<share>/.

Several of us on Fedora 36 had this issue awhile back and downgrading libsmbclient fixed the issue.It looks like from the link kparal posted it’s now affecting users in Fedora 35.If I’m not mistaken the fix on Fedora 36 was when gvfs got updated it fixed the issue as I have had no issues since.You might downgrade libsmbclient until the fix is in which shouldn’t be very long.

Hi Kevin,

not only the user, but also the share is necessary to make the workaround work.

Thx a lot.

Hi straycat,

could you elaborate on how to revert libsmbclient?

Thx in advance

dnf downgrade libsmbclient was what I used on Fedora 36 to get samba working.As i stated it didn’t take long and gvfs along with samba had an update and it fixed the issue.You might try it and see it the issue goes away.

It worked. Thx a lot. Will be patient to upgrade till Fedora 36 I guess.

Thanks - it’s working also on Fedora 35
downgrade libsmbclient from 4.15.7 back to 4.15.0-13.fc35

Thank you so much.
I almost thought my Truenas broke if it weren’t for my Windows machine as test.

It’s working now with the newest gvfs-packages Version 1.48.1-3. My last system-update contained following packages and the SMB-Shares in Nautilus are working again as expected :grinning:
