In the server I changed a permission from root root to bobg root ... First of all, don't be changing permissions/ownership on files and directories without a known reason. Leave things as they are since everything *is* working fine from the command line as you've shown The problem is *not* with permissions. > > journalctl doesn't show any activity until I start Thunar and then this: > [bobg@WS1 ~]$ journalctl --since 15:24 > -- Logs begin at Fri 2020-05-01 13:01:46 EDT, end at Mon 2020-07-13 15:26:03 EDT. -- > Jul 13 15:26:03 WS1 dbus-daemon[1091]: [session uid=1000 pid=1089] Activating service name='org.freedeskto> > Jul 13 15:26:03 WS1 dbus-daemon[1091]: [session > > And nothing more when I click on Browse Network and the SMB line appears. If I double click on the SMB line displayed in thunar I get a notice Network Connection, Ethernet, Wired connection 1.

First....Just as a *test* do ping smb And see if anything is returned. No matter what the "ping" test shows, Edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to change the hosts: line to hosts: files dns myhostname And see if thunar works any differently. It sounds, to me, like there is a network resolution issue going on. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
