I think I've partially solved this by updating the /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop file, and changing this line:
MimeType=inode/directory;application/x-gnome-saved-search; to be: MimeType=inode/directory;application/x-gnome-saved-search;x-scheme-handler/smb;x-scheme-handler/ssh; Then running sudo update-desktop-database to update the file /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache Hat tip to the instructions here: http://jarrpa.net/2011/10/28/creating- custom-url-handlers-in-ubuntu-11-04-11-10-gnome-3-0/ I'm not certain that this entirely works (it's not quite deterministic), but I'll give the machine a rebot and see if its stuck. This works because this patch was added: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity-lens-applications/trunk/revision/202 This calls AppInfo.launch_default_for_uri (orig, null), which looks up the native gnome url handler. Something that really isn't documented anywhere - to get debug output, find the program like so: david@silver:~/unity-lens-applications-0.4.12$ ps axfu|grep lens david 15396 0.0 0.6 206424 13268 ? Sl 01:04 0:03 /usr/lib/unity-lens-applications/unity-applications-daemon Kill it and restart it, and then it will produce output like this: david@silver:~/unity-lens-applications-0.4.12$ kill 15396 david@silver:~/unity-lens-applications-0.4.12$ /usr/lib/unity-lens-applications/unity-applications-daemon (process:4185): unity-applications-daemon-DEBUG: daemon.vala:256: Building initial application menu Leaving the program running, run the command that isn't working, and this will get outputted: (process:4185): unity-applications-daemon-WARNING **: daemon.vala:744: Failed to launch URI ssh://throium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/770126 Title: Alt+F2 - ssh:// and smb:// access doesn't work in Unity (should open Nautilus) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/770126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
