   Which is the same information. That update-apparmor-samba-profile failed, no   
   idea why.   
      
   I asked chatgpt. It told me to run   
      
      testparm   
      
      sudo /usr/share/samba/update-apparmor-samba-profile   
      
   The first one said:   
      
      Telcontar:~ # testparm   
      Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf   
      lpcfg_do_global_parameter: WARNING: The "domain logons" option is deprecated   
      Loaded services file OK.   
      Weak crypto is allowed by GnuTLS (e.g. NTLM as a compatibility fallback)   
      
      ERROR: both 'wins support = true' and 'wins server = ' cannot   
   be set in the smb.conf file. nmbd will abort with this setting.   
      
      Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE   
      
      Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions   
      
      
      
   So chatgpt told me that in here:   
      
      wins server = 192.168.6.16   
      wins support = No   
      
   I should remove the second line. It also advised to remove   
      
      domain logons = Yes   
      
      
   It later said:   
      
      
   Why the AppArmor message was misleading   
      
   The failure message:   
      
      generating profile sniplet failed   
      
   is not an AppArmor bug — it’s a configuration validation failure caused by   
   Samba rejecting the config.   
      
   This is a known pain point on openSUSE.   
      
      
      
   Trying now with Thunar, I can double click on "Windows network" which shows an   
   empty "smb:///" page. Relative progress.
