I would like to draw your attention on wsdd daemon,
https://github.com/christgau/wsdd . It implements a Web Service Discovery host daemon on Linux. I configured it a few months ago on LM 19.3 machines, before upgrading to LM 20. I cannot remember exactly how I did it, but it functioned. In LM 20 I did not configure it because I do not use Windows 10 alot at the moment.

wsdd is great, it should be integrated into samba. and until then it really should be included in the main post of this thread.
I spent far too much time trying to fix this, and getting wrong instruction after wrong instruction before stumbling unto wsdd
I also updated the install instructions for latest mint:
1. import the security key for that repository
Code: Select all
sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys https://pkg.ltec.ch/public/conf/ltec-ag.gpg.key
2. find out your distro, which is the codename for your version of debian. Debian uses codenames for various versions such as buster or bullseye. If you are unsure what your distro is you can find out in debian by using
In Ubuntu or Mint, if you are using an up to date version, you will just want to use the latest version. Go to
https://www.debian.org/download to locate the latest codename for debian. You can double check that this codename appears here
https://pkg.ltec.ch/public/dists/ and if it does not find the latest codename that does.
as of 2022-07-25 the latest is codename bullseye
3. add the repository to /etc/apt/sources.list.d with a file containing the following line deb
https://pkg.ltec.ch/public/ DISTRO main replacing DISTRO with the codename of your Debian distro.
in mint you can do this via GUI: menu > administration > software sources > additional repositories > add
4. refresh available packages via
5. install wsdd via
6. optionally you can configure wsdd via changing /etc/wsdd.conf.
After looking over it all, I just left that file blank and it just worked on all my windows machines.
7. run wsdd via
