Peppermint and Lubuntu networking to Windows and each other

Ubuntu Version:

Lubuntu 25.04 and Peppermint bookworm (2 separate PCs)

Desktop Environment (if applicable):

xfce

Problem Description:

The Lubuntu PC shows shared files coming from a Windows 10 PC, but the Peppermint PC shows only a folder and: “Failed to retrieve share list from server: No such file or directory”.
But also I have been unable to work out how to share between the Debian PCs.

Maybe this is not the forum for Peppermint issues, I now use it on this (older) PC instead of Lubuntu because it failed to start up properly after the latest update to 25.04.

Relevant System Information:

This paste file is for this Peppermint PC.

What I’ve Tried:

I have tried various ideas from forums, such as Samba details.


As you noticed yourself this is indeed not a support forum for PeppermintOS, they do have their own support venue though that you can reach at:

As indicated in the Start here instructions for Support and Help

You are very aware of this (Peppermint isn’t even based on Ubuntu), stating

I’ve thus closed this question as off-topic.
