I have exactly the same problem on a brand new install of Ubuntu 11.10 when I try to "Browse Network".
All my shares are visible from Windows machines and those running Ubuntu 11.04. I get "Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server" when I try to access a shareon a Ubuntu 11.10 machine (which is visible from Windows 7), or a share on a Window 7 machine. Bizarely I can actually see shares on a WIndows 2003 server when I try to connect from the Ubuntu 11.10 machine! To repeat the previous comment, testing interworking with Windows and fixing bugs in this area should be a top priority - Ubuntu is useless without connectivity to the rest of the universe. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481197 Title: unable to mount location - failed to retrieve share list from server Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus was able to mount with 9.04 but not after upgrading to 9.10 could this also be being blocked by windows xp the windows machine cannot connect with 9.10 either ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 CheckboxSubmission: 1f5c1b345a479398e41afddddcf7836f CheckboxSystem: d00f84de8a555815fa1c4660280da308 Date: Thu Nov 12 20:11:21 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/nautilus Package: nautilus 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu2 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-14.48-generic SourcePackage: nautilus Uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic i686 XsessionErrors: (gnome-settings-daemon:2157): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_propagate_error: assertion `src != NULL' failed (gnome-settings-daemon:2157): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_propagate_error: assertion `src != NULL' failed (nautilus:2183): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:2195): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (nautilus:2568): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/481197/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
