I did some more testing : - It is not a configuration problem: I tried with 'custom location' and copy/pasted the URI from Nautilus, same result (permission denied, without asking for a password). - the problem is specific to a share which is hosted on an EMC array. Specifying a share on a windows box works fine. - A colleague running OpenSuse 12.1 (64) is having the same error trying to mount that share in Nautilus.
So, I now think the problem might not be related to deja-dup, or ubuntu for that matter. ** Package changed: deja-dup (Ubuntu) => samba (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - 'Permission denied' when using a windows share + 'Permission denied' when mounting a windows share on an EMC array -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/946953 Title: 'Permission denied' when mounting a windows share on an EMC array Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, I'm having trouble telling deja-dup to send backups to a windows share. First, there is no 'share' field like there is in Nautilus. I tried "share/path" and "/share/path" with the same result : deja-dup doesn't ask for a password and immediately says 'Permission Denied'. I then tried 'custom location', giving it a URI like "smb://domain;user@server/share/path". Same result. There is no problem with the windows share as it mounts perfectly in Nautilus. Any idea ?
