I'm having a hard time with the assignment of a "Low" importance here. This is a MAJOR wart. I have five Jaunty systems and one Karmic system, and NONE of them do this right. Some of those computers were clean installs, others were upgraded from previous versions. Googling this message, I find that most of the complaints are pointed at Ubuntu.
Even if this IS an upstream bug, we should be working on it. I'd file the bug in the upstream Bugzilla myself, but I find myself expecting to be scoffed at as I can't provide enough technical detail. I've dug in as far as I can without reading the source code... I suspect it's mostly a gvfs problem, since the affected systems can't see standard Windows systems on the same network (so, unless I'm missing something here, it's not a Samba bug). There is an extensive discussion of this problem here: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1082148 This is the the category of those bugs that are far too obvious. It makes us look BAD. My wife, who is not a bit technical, went a bit nuts when she learned that this doesn't work... she's accustomed to browsing to network resources, something that does not work since we left Intrepid. If I can't sell it to her, how can I sell it to actual customers? -- Samba/Nautilsus/gvfs - "Failed to retrieve share list from server" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
