But this time it is about hardy and gvfs. Samba browsing works like a charm after login. gvfs sees all samba workgroups and servers: $ gvfs-ls smb:/// E-WARE MUNKACSOPORT VIRTUAL But after switching between wired and wireless networks, gvfs no longer sees any samba workgroups or shares. $ gvfs-ls smb:/// [no output] After some digging with wireshark, I noticed that the problem is that gvfs sends the NMB name lookup requests to the wrong broadcast address. For example: 1. Let the wired network be: 192.168.5.0/24 (broadcast 192.168.5.255) 2. Let the wireless network be: 192.168.6.0/24 (broadcast 192.168.6.255) Let's suppose that the wired connection was active when I started my gnome session. Then after switching to the wireless connection gvfs still keeps sending NMB name lookup queries to 192.168.5.255 which is WRONG. Workaround: $ killall gvfsd-smb-browse Putting the above line in some if-up/if-down script makes the problem go away. $ dpkg -l | grep gvfs| cat ii gvfs 0.2.3-0ubuntu4 userspace virtual filesystem - server ii gvfs-backends 0.2.3-0ubuntu4 userspace virtual filesystem - backends ii gvfs-bin 0.2.3-0ubuntu4 userspace virtual filesystem - binaries ii gvfs-fuse 0.2.3-0ubuntu4 userspace virtual filesystem - fuse server ii libgvfscommon0 0.2.3-0ubuntu4 userspace virtual filesystem - library $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/223622/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
