Details
Description: After kernel (to 4.17.2-1) and firmware (to
20180606.d114732-1) updates via Pamac on 18-Jun-2017 all
devices in file manager (Mate / Caja - Browse Network)
disappeared.
Identical behaviour on Desktop PC & Laptop. Additional info: * package version(s) 4.17.2-1 / 20180518.2a9b2cf-1 * config and/or log files etc. Clean install, testing repository NOT enabled, AUR enabled. Steps to reproduce: Downgraded kernel back to 4.16.13-2 and firmware back to 20180518.2a9b2cf-1 (previous versions), reboot, all devices visible in file manager once again on Desktop PC & Laptop. |
This task depends upon
Additional info:
* package version(s) 4.17.2-1 / 20180606.d114732-1
(couldn't see a way to edit details)
So issue appears to be with linux-firmware 20180606.d114732-1.
I cannot see any way to edit the category above to change from kernel to firmware, resumably a moderator needs to do this? Or should I delete and re-submit?
Anyway it now looks to me that I am wasting peoples time with this, for which I apologise profusely.
After one day with network devices visible in "Browse network" on both PC's, reboot yesterday morning (20-Jun-2018) - NO devices visible, no changes made to PC's. Reboot this morning (21-Jun-2018) and network devices are visible again, no changes made to PC's.
I have spent hours fruitlessly searching forums etc., for similar sysmptoms, nothing found. Reset entire network several times, no effect.
So it seems to me (from what I did find on forums etc.), that this "issue" is no more than usual the usual hassle that is to be expected from smb/samba. And it was simply an unfortunate coincidence that this occured at the same time as the kernel/firmware update.
I will leave this task open to allow Jan de Groot (JGC) to view, and assuming he agrees I will then request closure.
Again, my apologies for timewasting. Sorry.
