Comment 42 for bug 1828107

Fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04 and still happening

WILL THIS EVER GET FIXED????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

It's been FIVE YEARS since this first came up (other bugs), and SMB1 has been off for security reasons for many years now. This User eXperience is completely garbage, frankly. And no user should realistically be expected to have to open a cli and kill gvfsd-smb-browse just because we don't have a proper implementation for this.

It truly begs the question, WHY DOES THIS WORK WHEN THAT PROCESS IS RESTARTED?

If restarting it "fixers" it, then why on earth does it break in the first place? And why isn't this already fixed?

For humans in the future, use this command for convenience:

killall gvfsd-smb-browse

And then ctrl+r for future quick recall (in the CLI of your desire).
