Thread: What's the deal with Nautilus not connecting to windows shares in 12.04?


i've swear i've tried every permutation of server, domain, user , password nautilus allow me browse windows shares in ubuntu 12.04 , stupid thing keeps asking credentials.

things i've tried:

1. adding following lines on global section of smb.conf:

client lanman auth = yes
client ntlmv2 auth = no

2. trying connect typing server name , domain in caps per numerous threads on subject.

3. tried via alt-f2, via command line "nautilus smb://blahblahblah", via file>connect server in nautilus, etc, etc, etc.

of these end in same frustrating loop of nautilus keep asking credentials/not accepting them.

happening on 12.04. third time since released upgrade system hoping stupid bug has been squashed , run problem, forcing me revert. has solution that works been found?
