Title:
  Use of SMBv2 makes network discovery not work at all

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Bionic ships with /etc/samba/smb.conf in a state that allows SMBv2
  connections. No extant Linux GUI software actually works with it
  though. As a result, Samba share and printer network discovery is
  broken with Nautilus, Dolphin, and printer management software. The
  only way to access samba resources is to know the URL and manually
  enter it (e.g. "smb://myshare"), which is user-hostile and impossible
  for most users. How are people supposed to know the URLs of samba
  resources that they can't discover in the first place?

  This has been reported at https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-
  beaver-samba-shares.html, and I can confirm both the issue and the
  resolution:

  Add "client max protocol = NT1" to /etc/samba/smb.conf. Boom, problem
  solved: Samba share and printer discovery suddenly works.
