XFCE4 Thunar: Browse samba network shares (Xubuntu 22.04)

Post by ^rooker »

On a minimal install of Xubuntu 22.04 (jammy), you don't get the option to browse network shares (samba/smb/cifs) in Thunar out-of-the-box.
You need to install the following packages, then log-out-back-in and it just works :D

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt install gvfs-backends smbclient

Jumping out of an airplane is not a basic instinct. Neither is breathing underwater. But put the two together and you're traveling through space!
