February 19, 20251 yr I'm on Unraid 6.12.15(recently upgraded to this) and MX Linux 23.5 with Thunar 4.20.1. Right this minute, I can't access my root share with either the hostname or the IP. It just shows a blank screen. It happens every so often. However, while in this state, I can access individual shares with smb://server.local/pictures, for example. If I reboot, it'll work again and show my shares when I enter smb://server.local in the address bar. What is causing this? flores-diagnostics-20250219-0945.zip
February 19, 20251 yr Root share is not officially supported, but are you using the UD plugin to create that or manually?
February 19, 20251 yr Author Well, I'm not entirely sure how I set it up. Doh! I don't see any shares in the Unassigned Devices plugin. I also don't see anything extra in the SMB Extras field in Settings/SMB per the SpaceInvaderOne video. Not even sure how this is working. For a minute there I thought I could recreate the issue, but now I can't. I think if I give it some time it might come back. It was also doing this on my laptop running the same OS as my desktop(MX Linux 23.5).
February 19, 20251 yr I don't see anything for a root share in SMB extras, but if you really want a root share, I recommend using the UD plugin anyway, if you need help setting it up:
February 19, 20251 yr Author I might give that feature in UD a try, but it just happened again and I see this in the syslog of my desktop: 2025-02-19T12:19:45.911119-06:00 mxlinux gvfsd[3890]: smbXcli_negprot_smb1_done: No compatible protocol selected by server. Did 6.12.15 get rid of the SMB1 protocol?

February 19, 20251 yr Author Bingo! Thanks, @itimpi! That did the trick. At first I tried setting the min and max protocol in the smb.conf file on my desktop machine and that didn't work. Turning on Netbios made the shares come back. I didn't even have to reboot. Did the update to 6.12.15 turn this off? Plus, why would it work on a fresh boot? Edited February 19, 20251 yr by nraygun
