Ubuntu 20.04 access to NAS files

Question

After upgrade to 20.04 Files (and Krusader!) can find the volumes on local NAS, but individual files and folders are returned as "No such file or folder; has it been deleted?".

Taking note of previous related posts I have tried:

sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

add:

workgroup = WORKGROUP    
client min protocol = NT1    
server max protocol = NT1    
client min protocol = CORE

Not sure what else to try. The 18.04 box still works perfectly and I can't work out if it is a Nautilus, Gnome, Samba, or (unlikely) a kernel thing. Stumped! Can anyone help?

Answer 1

file-as-folder is fixed via https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1872476

It's fixed in the package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.2 which is currently sitting in focal-proposed, and will be in updates shortly.

Answer 2

I make a copy of the file smb.conf

cd /etc/samba
sudo cp smb.conf smb.conf.old

then I changed the original file

sudo gedit smb.conf

In global section under work group I add a new line

#This new line is to obtain access to my DNS-320l   
client min protocol = NT1

I save the file and finally re-start my computer and everything worked, I can access my files. Of course I put my credentials, user and password of my DNS, I hope this could be useful for someone else.
