Package: nemo
Version: 4.8.6-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainers,
I have a Samba server providing shares (some require credentials, some
anonymous). I have two Bullseye desktop, one running Gnome from which I
send this bug report, another running Cinnamon. I use Nemo on both
computers.
Mounting is done with Nemo via GIO/GVFS and works perfectly. However, if
I unmount the share, and then remount it, issue arise: when I click on
the share name in Nemo's left pane, a popup window appear saying:
1. On the Gnome desktop: "Could not display
"smb://my-server.local/my-share/". The location is not a folder."
2. On the Cinnamon desktop (translated from French): "Unknown file type.
No program is associated to file "smb://my-server.local/my-share". Use
Open dialog to choose a program to open it." Here I can click on "Choose
a program" and select Nemo to open it, but then I face the popup 1.
A simple fix on both desktops is to kill Nemo (just closing the window
is not enough) and then restart it. A simple .desktop file in the right
place does the job for non technical users.
I have no idea if bug is still present in testing/sid or upstream and
have no time to test it for the moment, sorry.
Thanks for your time and work,
Yvan

Version: 5.8.4-1
Hi Yvan,
thanks for the report, and sorry for the very late reply.
This was fixed upstream in nemo 5.8.4 by
https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/commit/e34140134bdcc701401fed055cb6884c0622fb18:
unmounting from the sidebar context menu left an extra reference to the
location, which prevented it from being mounted again. I tested it on
Debian 13 (nemo 6.4.5) with an SMB share, unmounting from the context
menu and with the eject button and mounting it again from a bookmark or
by typing the address, and it always worked. The fix is included in
Debian since 5.8.4-1, so I'm closing the bug with that version.
Best regards,
Fabio
