After some browsing it turns out this is not really a bug, but shall we say a "security feature".
There is this pklocalauthority stuff (see man page) that basically makes authorization things more complex, and to me, not logical. See ralph.ronnquist comment at Debian user forums page http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=128280 Therefore, it turns out the nautilus/gvfs-mount needs your password, but not for remote system. It wants your password for LOCAL system... that worked for me, no matter how strange it is. I mean, the nautilus clearly states it needs a username/password for remote system? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510059 Title: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/510059/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
