Can't access windows share via samba


shadow warrior

I can't access a windows machine via samba service in Ubuntu 16.04. I uninstalled and reinstalled the samba service as follows:

sudo apt-get remove samba*
sudo apt-get purge samba*

After doing this, I executed:

sudo apt install samba samba-common

When I restart my computer and then try to connect: smb://192.168....etc the "connect" button is inactive, and below the connection window I see a message that says "This file server type is not recognized ". What went wrong? Thank you.

Looks like you need to install the packagegvfs-backends

Run the following commands:

sudo apt install gvfs-backends
