From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
Or do something funky like using a privileged Docker container built from 22.04 (or anything else with old enough samba) to mount the samba share onto a volume that sits on the host OS. 😂
Something like:
/media/mysharedocker run --privileged -it --rm -v /media/myshare:/mnt ubuntu:22.04 bashmount -t cifs //<host>/<path> /mnt -o user=<user>,password=<user>/media/myshareon the host.If it works, you could bake this into a startup script for the Docker image. Run it with the appropriate
--cap-addinstead of--privileged. Start it on boot via systemd.Docker would still go through the kernel for the mount, that's one of the few things Docker can't do because it's the same kernel as the host.
That said I doubt it's been removed from the kernel, only the Samba server. OP is a client.
Yeah but some of the samba mounting mechanism is outside of the kernel. The protocol deprecation might just be in a separate package. 🥹 I haven't checked.
Lol, I will need to become more familiar with how to use docker. I know how to use virtual box so I may try to run vm with 22.04. I'm still pretty new and starting my Linux Journey. 🙂
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!
SMB1 is really insecure so there might be a silver lining to all this.
