** Summary changed: - Unable to unmount sftp + gvfs doesn't manage sftp and ftp backends properly
** Description changed: + Binary package hint: gvfs-backends + Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 amd64 / x86_64 alpha / beta updated - I used places > connect to server to connect to an sftp (SSH) connection. - The first time it connected fine, but then all of the sudden it stopped responding, I closed nautilus then. + Note: Everything below happens with ftp (with login) option as well. + Note 2: I think nautilus affects this bug as well. The weird thing about this bug is that it doesn't happen always, therefore I also think nautilus (or something) "caches" or stores the retrieved list of contents of the server folder. Use a new username or server to test this, because when I re-added the 'connect to server', the new window and the connection were ok if I visited previously browsed folders from previous connections, but when I went to a folder or a username that I haven't visited or used before, the window or the connection do not respond and the list of contents of the folder is not shown. + Note 3: As I stated in note 2, we have two situations, one with a greyed out unresponsive window and one with a responsive window (being able to close without "force quit") but with a mouse pointer as "waiting". From what I've tested, they're randomly produced with the steps I explain below. + Note 4: If I hit ctrl-L and enter sftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/user/ everything is normal, I can also unmount it normally. Only sporadically do I get an unresponsive greyed out window (see note 2). I have to kill the (two) processes related to the sftp connection in order to use it. + Note 5: In my opinion, something goes wrong while it tries to get the list of contents of a destination / folder. - Now I can't unmount it. After some time I get an error saying this: + I used 'connect to server' to connect to an sftp (SSH) connection. + Menu Places > Connect to Server + Type: SSH + Server: sftp.example.com + Port: (left blank) + Folder: /home/user + User name: user + Add bookmark: checked + Bookmark name: mysftp + + When I hit the connect button, it pops up a new nautilus window, trying to browse the sftp. That's when the problems appear, and I end up with an unresponsive window, probably when it's trying to retrieve the folder's contents. Sometimes the window can be closed (although the mouse pointer is "waiting"), or I have to use the "force quit" option it gives me for nautilus, see note 3. + That very first new window that is automatically opened after hitting the connect button seems to mess up the whole connection. + I'm saying this because I killed the two processes related to this and connected through the sftp bookmark, which was created previously (using 'connect to server'). I used the menu Places > Bookmarks > user (the name of the bookmark), it opened a new window and I could browse my server with no problems. This success could be related to a cached list of contents, see note 2. + + Some errors I come accross: + 1) If I leave the window (with the mouse pointer as "waiting") open for several minutes, it eventually returns an error: + The folder contents could not be displayed. + Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "user": DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. + + 2) Trying to unmount using the side pane, I right click on the sftp virtual filesystem and select unmount. After some time I get an error saying this: Unable to unmount sftp on example.com DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. - Also, I can't connect to it either: + 3) If I close the nautilus window and open a new one, then double click on the side pane to show the sftp: Couldn't display "sftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/". Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
