Cannot connect to my NAS after installing KUbuntu 24.04 LTS

I was first on KUbuntu 22.04 LTS and was able to connect to my router’s attached USB storage drive by adding client min protocol = NT1 to the smb.conf file within user/share/samba. My router doesn’t support the newer SMB protocol.

I just recently wiped my computer and installed KUbuntu 24.04 LTS and I tried adding that same line of code to the smb.conf file, but when I try to go to the IP address of my router it tells me that “Connection to host 192.168.1.1 is broken”.

I’ve been trying to find a solution online, but not having luck.

Anyone have any suggestions?

    According to this Samba 4.16 removed the support for the old SMB1 Protocol.

    Looking here : https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=samba you can see the difference between Jammy and Noble : 4.15 -> 4.19 So it looks like you’re out of luck with fast and easy solutions. Maybe downloading the older Samba package and its dependencies and downgrade and then put the package on “hold” is maybe possible. During such an attempt using aptitude instead of apt could be helpful.

      Ah…well crap. It is an old router. I checked for firmware updates on it, but I doubt that they’ll bring in support for newer SMB versions. I may have to get a new router at some point. Thanks for the feedback!
