some note of my side. Problem started when i tried to connect to a Samba4 machine (ubuntu 14.04.1) from a 12.04. I had the password loop on the 14.04. to try and reach the 12.04 (samba 3.6.3-2). So I thought, I update the 12.04 with samba4. Now I have the password loop on that machine aswell. Keeps on asking for a password.
Uninstalled and purged samba. Reinstalled samba 3.6.3-2 , all to no avail. Now I dont have samba installed, and trying to reach a network share from "Connect to Server" it still doesnot accept my password. Looking at the samba.cfg file on the nas, running Alt-F (http://sourceforge.net/projects/alt-f) i only find a file where the shares are defined. Desperate to solve this VERY annoying problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510059 Title: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share Status in GVFS: New Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus My Ubuntu Desktop (9.10, 64-bit) VM can't connect to my Windows 7 (64-bit, Ultimate) File Share using Nautilus. I enter "smb://<comuterName>" in the address bar and then it comes up with a password dialog (see screenshot) and then after entering the correct login info, the dialog disappears for a second or two but then reappears again. The dialog always comes back up and the share is never mounted. * Connecting from an XP box on the network to the windows 7 share works just fine. * Connecting from the Ubuntu machine to the windows 7 share using the appropriate 'smbmount' command works just fine. * Connecting from the Ubuntu machine (using the nautilus GUI) to the XP box (password protected) works just fine. * Then I turned off password protection in Win7, rebooted the win7 machine, and still all of the above tests turned out the same. And the Ubuntu machine still doesn't connect to the windows share using the nautilus GUI, and still displays the password dialog even though no password is required anymore. * I tried using smbclient to view the shares, here is the output (not sure if I should be trying something else using the smbclient program): o eddie@eddie-ubuntu:~$ smbclient -L eddie-win7 Enter eddie's password: session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Jan 17 15:41:28 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/nautilus InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) Package: nautilus 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-17.54-server SourcePackage: nautilus Uname: Linux 2.6.31-17-server x86_64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/510059/+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
