You will need to modify your configuration to enable GVFS in order for SMB shares to be available in PCManFM. | |||

(If you are using XFCE, you may find that your build of GVFS does not contain SMB support. You can mitigate this by setting the <code>services.gvfs.package</code> option, like for example: <code>services.gvfs.package = pkgs.gvfs;</code>) | |||

If you do not have a dbus session in your environment, you will see errors such as "Operation not supported" when attempting to browse the network. | ||
