Dolphin does not show samba shares

English Applications
1

After the November updates, Dolphin stopped showing samba shares from other PCs on the network.
However! The samba network works correctly as I can easily access it by making the call manually with the command smb://eragontux@192.168.1.142/Dell_Studio/ .

Any ideas?

Maybe this helps:

There is also mention of the kio-extras5 package being needed.

For KDE Plasma 6, network browsing in Dolphin is provided by kio-extras. However, Windows host discovery previously relied on WS-Discovery via the kdsoap-ws-discovery-client library, which did work in earlier Plasma 5 releases . That component no longer appears to be included in current KDE Frameworks 6 / Plasma 6 stacks, so the WS-Discovery-based discovery path is no longer available. I’m not yet sure if this is openSUSE-specific, or an upstream decision. I think a bug report is required.

Avahi discovery (Linux hosts) should still work though.

@Pedro Can you please clarify that you are referring to Linux hosts here? Do you use Avahi discovery? Not a firewall issue?

Check discovery of Linux samba hosts on the network with…
avahi-browse -rt _smb._tcp
Does that report as expected?

I have to retract the WS-Discovery comments…I’ve just tested Plasma 6 Dolphin discovery (Slowroll), and WS-Discovery of a Windows host I have at hand is working as expected. (It can take a few moments for the network discovery to work, but the host is eventually enumerated.)

I also monitored WS‑Discovery traffic on UDP port 3702 to my host, showing the Windows host responding with ProbeMatches…
