Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
The Places > Connect to Server... dialog in Ubuntu 8.04 do not work to
connect to Windows share. There are multiple failure, and its behavior
is extremely confusing. This worked without any problem on Ubuntu 7.10
(gutsy) using the same server and same credentials.
The share we are trying to connect to is hosted on a Windows Small
Business Server 2003 server.
- Local username: ubuntu
- Remote username: ubuntu
- Windows server name: win2003
- Windows domain name: canonical (it is an Active Directory)
- Share name we connect to: clients
To be sure this is not a problem that have been fixed in an upcoming
update already, I installed the following package from hardy-proposed:
nautilus 2.22.3-0ubuntu1
gvfs, gvfs-backends and libgvfscommon0 0.2.4-0ubuntu1
== Steps to reproduce ==
1. Go to Places > Connect to Server..., choose "Windows Share" in
Service Type, fill in "Server", "Share", "Username" and "Domain Name"
appropriately with the value above, click the Connect button (see
Screenshot-1.png)
2. "Enter Password" dialog is shown. Provide password and then click
Connect (see Screenshot-2.png)
3. An error message is displayed: 'Can't display location
"smb://win2003/clients" -- The specificed location is not mounted'.
However, the shortcut icon appear on the desktop nonetheless (see
Screenshot-3.png). Click Ok to dismiss.
4. Double-click the shortcut icon titled "clients on win2003" on the
desktop. The "Enter Password" dialog is displayed again, this time with
a wrong value for Domain (see Screenshot-4.png). Change Domain from
"MSHOME" to "canonical", provide password and click Connect.
5. The content of the share is displayed as expected, but a second
shortcut icon appear on the desktop, with the same name (see
Screenshot-5.png).
== Problems ==
1. Confusing "Can't display location "smb://win2003/clients" -- The
specified location is not mounted" message, even tough a shortcut icon
for the share appear on the desktop.
2. "Enter Password" dialog is displayed twice: once after filling the
info in Place > Connect to Server, and then again when trying to open
the share from the shortcut icon on the desktop.
3. The "Enter Password" have wrong value for Domain the second time it
is shown. It should display the value entered originally.
4. When the correct domain and password are provided in the second
"Enter Password" dialog, a second shortcut to the share appear on the
desktop with the same name.
