dolphin can't see the samba folders properly on kubuntu
this problem is VERY old i can remember this since there was kde 4.0
THE PROBLEM
as you can see here dolphin can't load samba folders or the workgroup , with a general error "Timeout on server workgroup"

you can try to share folders with kubuntu but you can't see them without these packages
sudo apt-get install samba kdenetwork-filesharing libpam-winbind winbind
after that you still can't see samba folders you need to edit
kdesudo kate /etc/nsswitch.conf
and put wins before dns as you can see here
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] wins dns mdns4
and
sudo adduser $USER sambashare ; sudo smbd restart
PLEASE FIX THIS SHIT.
