You have been subscribed to a public bug:
With Ubuntu Software Center 5.6.0 (Ubuntu 13.04)
NOTE:
This bug first manifested itself when I found myself unable to install from
gvfs (nautilus mounted) CIFS shares. This could possibly (probably?) be due to
an USC identifying legal dir/file name characters as illegal, or interpreting
the dir/filename as a search request rather than as a file location
To replicate this bug:
I have a CIFS server named "oldman", a share called "completed". When I
browse to this share in nautilus it creates the GVFS mount as:
"/var/run/user/michael/gvfs/smb-share:server=oldman,share=completed/"
When I open the .deb file (double click in Nautilus) i get the following error:
'No items match
"/var/run/user/michael/gvfs/smb-share:server=oldman,share=completed/uplink-linux-1.6.0-2-amd64-1344894496.deb"
Suggestions:
- Check that your spelling is correct. Did you mean: <such and such*>'
* can't be buggered typing the whole thing
See first error image (attached to this post). Note that the file
location is in the top right of the image in the search box. This is the
full valid file location/name. If I copy and paste the contents of the
search box into a terminal (it is not nautilus mangling it):
"michael@neffo:~$ ls -l
/var/run/user/michael/gvfs/smb-share:server=oldman,share=completed/uplink-linux-1.6.0-2-amd64-1344894496.deb
-rwx------ 1 michael michael 21907452 May 29 21:34
/var/run/user/michael/gvfs/smb-share:server=oldman,share=completed/uplink-linux-1.6.0-2-amd64-1344894496.deb
michael@neffo:~$ "
If I copy the .deb file to the local disk (~/Downloads), it allows me to
install as expected (see a second post for an image). This is not a file
permissions issue either:
"michael@neffo:~$ ls -l ~/Downloads/uplink-linux-1.6.0-2-amd64-1344894496.deb
-rwx------ 1 michael michael 21907452 May 29 21:34
/home/michael/Downloads/uplink-linux-1.6.0-2-amd64-1344894496.deb
michael@neffo:~$"
Renaming the local file as "bleh=uplink-
linux-1.6.0-2-amd64-1344894496.deb" and "bleh:uplink-
linux-1.6.0-2-amd64-1344894496.deb" did not produce the bug. Renaming
the file with a comma as "bleh,uplink-
linux-1.6.0-2-amd64-1344894496.deb" produced the bug as seen in this
post. It seems as though the comma is the problem character.
