Hi,
I've installed a new computer with Debian 12 Bookworm and KDE 5.27.5. I am unable to browse SAMBA shares/servers on the network using this computer.
A different computer also has Bookworm installed (but upgraded from Bullseye), and this computer can browse all shares/computers in the network just fine.
All the computers have firewalld / firewall-config installed (with both mdns and all ws-discovery services enabled to pass through), and all computers are running the wsdd daemon to enable being discovered through ws-discovery.
I've tried to disable the firewall on all the computers, but this made no difference.
This is working on all computers except the one I recently built and installed with bookworm. That computer cannot browse the shares/servers (= other computers in the network), but it CAN reach all them by entering smb://computer_name in the address bar of Dolphin. All computers can also ping all other computers.
What could I be missing here? Thanks.
If Lemmy stays as it is, it won't work. The two largest Lemmy instances seem to be Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml. I've been able to sign up on Lemmy.world and Feddit.nl (because it's local to me), but not on Lemmy.ml, where the KDE community actually is, because my sign-up still has to be approved (no e-mail with more information or anything.). So first, I have to use the KDE community at Lemmy.ml through another instance and second, my subscription to the KDE community has been pending for days now. Third, it's entirely possible to have 2-3-4-5 KDE communities scattered over multiple instances, but they are all "Lemmy".
"Normal" people are never going to use this. It's way too complicated for them, and federation is too slow if the community you want to subscribe to is on a slow or overloaded instance.
