Thanks, the error suggests the gsettings schemas are not correctly installed, which is weird. What does "dpkg -S org.gnome.system.smb" return? does the file listed there exist on disk?

[Alistair Buxton (a-j-buxton)]

al@al-desktop:~$ dpkg -S org.gnome.system.smb
gvfs-backends: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.system.smb.gschema.xml

al@al-desktop:~$ ls -l /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.system.smb.gschema.xml

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do you have any such directory in /usr/local?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

what's the output of "gsettings get org.gnome.system.smb workgroup"?

[Alistair Buxton (a-j-buxton)]

No such directory in /usr/local

The output of that command is: ''

[Alistair Buxton (a-j-buxton)]

User error. XDG_DATA_DIRS was messed up by local configuration.
