[Bug] Cannot access samba shared folders on linux machines

[nmendiboure]

Hi,

I recently installed casaos 0.4.4-1 on a debian 11 raspbian base (pi4), and I met issues when I want to access shared folders from another linux machine (linux mint 21.2).

I set a folder called "Media" and located on my external NAS ssd as "shared" by using the file browser feature of casaos.

Then when I go into my "network" section on my computer, the name of my pi nas (picolas) appears, but I can't access my shared folder. The nas also appears in the windows workgroup list, still cannot be accessed.

When I run the command smbclient -L //192.168.1.26 I got this :

On my windows VM I manage to access the folder, but not on linux. I also tried to add that lines on both server and client machines (/etc/samba/smb.casaos.conf and /etc/samba/smb.conf):

workgroup = WORKGROUP client min protocol = NT1 server min protocol = NT1

after reboot, nothing changed.

However, I found it was possible to mount it using that command :

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=$USER //192.168.1.26/Media /path-to-mount-point

I'd like to know how can I access my shared folders directly from workgroup list ?

Thanks in advance

https://pq.hosting/en/help/windows/448-oshibka-ubuntu-ne-vidit-set-samba.html I tested it on my side, you need to install avahi on the machine where casaos is located. you can try it, looking forward to your feedback.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. I followed the instructions from the link you sent and still didn't work... At least until I understood that there was a file '/etc/samba/smb.conf' (in addition of '/etc/samba/smb.casaos.conf') that I wasn't suppose to modify but I saw a line with 'min protocol = SMB2', so I just changed it with 'NT1' and now everything works, the shared folder appears into the network windows workgroup list in nemo.

Yes, i just modify the conf file with NT1, it works.

Hi, You really should avoid using SMBv1 due to known security vulnerability: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/storage-at-microsoft/stop-using-smb1/ba-p/425858 There is an old bug within gvfs-browse causing the problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1828107 there is a patch which solves the problem which you can find here: https://github.com/christgau/wsdd this worked for me.
