The latest filesystem package update broke Samba in Thunar “Browse Networks” The other computers appear, but clicking on a computer and nothing happens. The issue is with nsswitch.conf in the new version. When I replaced nsswitch.conf with the version from 05.31, I was able to access the samba shares. I do not have a clue which of the many changes might have caused the issue.
Here are the nsswitch.conf files for comparison purposes:
05.31 Stable
# Name Service Switch configuration file.
# See nsswitch.conf(5) for details.
