I set up a system with the XFCE-spin of Fedora 25.
The thing that is not working for me is connecting to samba (CIFS) shares using the default file manager Thunar. I click on explore network in the sidebar and it automatically finds the samba server I want to connect to. But when I try to connect to it by double-clicking on the entry, I get an error message telling me that the specified location is not supported.
However, if I use Terminal and run mount -t cifs ... //server/share /mnt
there, I can successfully mount the share and use Thunar to explore /mnt
.
Why is the usual way via Thunar not working and what can I do to fix that?
