Files - networking broken

General Help
1

Zorin 17.3 Pro
Lenovo Yoga

All the sudden files was unable to connect to networking, so i checked the packaging and cleaned some little conflicts there. Now files does not see networking at all an entering a "smb://" at the bottom results to red text.

In software center files is nemo and files seems to be nautilus, i would like to reinstall files with all it dependencies on the console. But what package names are these?

Second question: Have searched the password for files, there is nothing in the seahorse and smb-client for console was missing. Where are the passwords and known network shares stored?

The default file manager in Zorin core/pro is called nautilus.
To reinstall nautilus enter in terminal

sudo apt install --reinstall nautilus

Did You tried it with a Reboot? Maybe something wasn't load right.

Specially here the nautilus-share package was uninstalled in some way. Compared to my desktop it was missing in the packages.

Thanks!

Did reinstalled a lot of package via SSH remote, this fixed the SMB connection for me.
