Description tempel.julian 2021-04-29 10:07:43 UTC

SUMMARY
Dolphin 21.04 doesn't show my workgroup anymore, despite of "client min protocol = NT1" in smb.conf. It used to work before and still does with GTK file browsers that utilize GvFS. Dolphin also doesn't show it when AVAHI is used for hostname resolution.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have an SMB1 server in your workgroup.
2. Try to discover it with Dolphin 21.04.


OBSERVED RESULT
It doesn't show up  anymore.


EXPECTED RESULT
Not long ago, the workgroup still showed up in Dolphin under the "smb:/" path, it should do that again (21.04 regression?).


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch 5.11
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.81
Qt Version: 5.15.2.

Since it's not my network infrastructure, I won't be providing debug logs due to privacy reasons. Though it seems that currently something's fundamentally wrong with accessing SMB shares on Arch via userspace filesystem implementations , as I can't successfully open any share in Dolphin or Thunar (they repeatedly ask for credentials without success), whereas it works fine one Windows (and of course used to work before on Arch with no config changed in the meantime). So chances are it's not KDE related at all. If nobody intends to jump on this ticket train, I'd just close it.

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2021-05-14 13:39:26 UTC

Yeah if it also doesn't work for you in other apps (which have completely different underlying samba implementations) then there is definitely a problem either with the network's configuration, or your system's configuration.

Comment 5 tempel.julian 2021-05-16 11:39:20 UTC

Found out that the workgroup once again appears by adding "client max protocol = NT1" to smb.conf (which of course is bad). Seems Samba devs turned legacy compatibility into a nightmare, and I also still can't authenticate for accessing that SMB1 share.
