Hi, I’ve installed a new computer with Debian 12 Bookworm and KDE 5.27.5. I am unable to browse SAMBA shares/servers on the network using this computer.
A different computer also has Bookworm installed (but upgraded from Bullseye), and this computer can browse all shares/computers in the network just fine.
All the computers have firewalld / firewall-config installed (with both mdns and all ws-discovery services enabled to pass through), and all computers are running the wsdd daemon to enable being discovered through ws-discovery.
I’ve tried to disable the firewall on all the computers, but this made no difference.
This is working on all computers except the one I recently built and installed with bookworm. That computer cannot browse the shares/servers (= other computers in the network), but it CAN reach all them by entering smb://computer_name in the address bar of Dolphin. All computers can also ping all other computers.
What could I be missing here? Thanks.
Two things spring to mind. Do you have
kdenetwork-filesharinginstalled? I recall it always needed to be added after a clean install.Secondly, this maybe a red herring but all my stuff uses the address format:
smb://computer_name.local/
