[Bug 510059] Re: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share
After some browsing it turns out this is not really a bug, but shall we say a "security feature". There is this pklocalauthority stuff (see man page) that basically makes authorization things more complex, and to me, not logical. See ralph.ronnquist comment at Debian user forums page http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5=128280 Therefore, it turns out the nautilus/gvfs-mount needs your password, but not for remote system. It wants your password for LOCAL system... that worked for me, no matter how strange it is. I mean, the nautilus clearly states it needs a username/password for remote system? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510059 Title: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/510059/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 510059] Re: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share
Same here... I have started with 14.04LTS and I could reach a Win2008 machine. After several updates, somewhere in the first quarter of 2016, I believe something things got strange. I purged samba and reinstalled it - no change. I have several personal shared folders, made from nautilus, and all Win machines can reach them (as guest user). However, I can not reach a Win2008 server or other Win7 - shared folder. Both gvfs-mount and nautilus dialogue keep asking for password/domain again and again. Setting aforementioned combinations such as: client lanman auth = no client ntlmv2 auth = no client ntlm = yes .. does not help. So I have browsed the old /etc/samba/ and have found several older smb.conf files: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9542 Mar 1 2015 smb.conf.old.gadmin-samba-0.3.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9542 Jun 11 2015 smb.conf.ucf-dist Basically, these two old were from time when everything was ok, and guess what, after I have copied them in smb.conf, nautilus and gvfs-mount still were not working (and keep asking for password/domain). There you have it. It is not a thing in smb.conf, but (my best guess) the bug is probably in gvfs-mont. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510059 Title: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/510059/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Hi guys, for me only this line helped: client ntlmv2 auth = no The SMB server I am accessing is an old NAS which don't support NTLMv2. We had the same issues on all Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 machines when trying to access the NAS, because the next gen windows systems have NTLMv1 disabled by default. So the problem seems to be that gvfs in Ubuntu 12.04 does not try other authentication mechanisms if NTLMv2 is enabled!? For now this workaround to disable NTLMv2 is no problem, because of the lack of any important NTLMv2 share.

For what it's worth, I experienced this problem trying to set up a two- way share with a Windows 7 machine. I'm running Ubuntu Studio 10.04.

Double clicking on either of these brought up the password pop-up and the attendant problems above.

I installed nautilus- share and tried again. This time opening the machine on PlacesNetwork I could see ADMIN$, C$ and Users. Double clicking on the Users folder brings up the password pop-up which works fine - I have access to that directory and all its contents (even though some have the lock icon.

I agree with Stephen and boxackt. This is an extremely (to say the least) annoying bug, and should not be of low importance. Marco, I tried your fix and it didn't work for me... no idea why. As a side note, perhaps this does not have anything to do with the discussion, but I am unable to access the same server using RDC through Terminal Server Client. Although this is a different bug, it seems related because it does not accept my username and password. Another theory I have is that usernames with spaces trigger this bug - did any of you access your shares with Windows usernames containing spaces? -- Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510059 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Well, I hope that this is now correctly identified as a gvfs problem; it has been most disheartening to see it pushed aside repeatedly and always rated as low importance (see the original bug report, #490201 - not a samba bug, must be nautilus, send it upstream, gnome accepts it as one of three hundred low-importance nautilus bugs, so it disappears into a heap of stuff that will never be fixed.) All the symptoms are clear and reproducible, so when can we have this fixed?
