Description roduffy2000 2017-07-12 10:31:48 UTC
Yesterday,11/07/17, I installed Kubuntu 17.04 on a Toshiba laptop  As I was unable to access my home network devices, I opened 'smd.conf and immediately after the line 'workgroup = WORKGROUP, I added the following line of text,'name resolve order = bcast host', which had worked for me using Mint 18.2. However, even after adding this line in Kubuntu's Dolphin, using Dolphin > Network > Samba Shares > Workgroup, I was still unable to access files on my router shares, although its title, 'Talktalk router', appeared in the list (I got this message'Timeout on server workgroup').  However, I was able to access files on my 'Diskstation', which was also in the list. On another computer, using Linux Mint 18.2 and its File Manager, Nemo, I could access all my folders on all my network devices. So, I installed Nemo in Kubuntu and using Nemo instead of Dolphin, I was able to access all my files.  So, my request is that you either replace Dolphin with Nemo in Kubuntu or add sufficient features to Dolphin that it can access all devices and their folders on a users home network.  Thank you.

The next version of kio-extras will have better samba support.
