@seb128, If the samba share was created on Ubuntu Server and not on Ubuntu Desktop then without the fix you will not see the samba server through Nautilus.

That's because Ubuntu Server does not install avahi-daemon by default. Once installed it's visible outside of "Windows Network" because of avahi:

I can see it when I run "avahi-browse -at" and when I select it in Nautilus it resolves to vubsrv1804.local:

tester@vub1804:~$ ls -al /run/user/1000/gvfs | grep vubsrv
