[notting@nostromo: ~]$ rpm -q nautilus gnome-vfs2 nautilus-2.5.5-1 gnome-vfs2-2.5.5-4 Double click on 'Computer'. Double click on 'Network' Error dialog: The action associated with network:/// is invalid You can configure GNOME to associate a different application or viewer with this file type. Do you want to associate an application or viewer with this file type now? <cancel> <associate action> Is 'associate action' really HIGgy?
Click on 'Associate action': Application "nautilus" (process 2150) has crashed due to a fatal error. (Segmentation fault) :)
I have the same problem. This is using nautilus-2.5.5-1. Furthermore, if I select File/Open Location... and type in smb://computername, it shows the shared folders on that server with no problem. Double-clicking on one of the folders to open it produces the same dialog box as Bill explains above. If I then again select File/Open Location... and type in smb://computername/sharename (using the shared folder I just tried to double-click), it opens the folder with no problem. From there I can browse deeper into the shared folder's directory structure with no more problems.
Fixed in gnome-vfs2 2.5.6-3
Just upgraded to gnome-vfs2-2.5.7-1 and this problem is only partially fixed. Opening Network now works, and opening a computer inside Network also works. But when I try to open a shared folder inside a computer, I still get the "Associate Action" dialog box and the folder doesn't open. The way I found to fix this was to go to Main Menu -> Preferences -> File Types and Programs. Click "Add Service". Type in a description, "smb" for the Protocol, and "nautilus %s" for the Program. After that, opening shared folders worked fine. Shouldn't this entry be part of the defaults? (doesn't look like I'm allowed to reopen this bug. should i refile under a new bug?)
Reopening.
smb: certainly should not be in the mime info. You don't want to launch a new nautilus every time you open a directory on smb. I don't understand why it doesn't work though. It works well for me...
Anything I can do to help narrow down the problem? I'm running the latest packages from Fedora devel. The computers are on a local LAN and part of the same workgroup. I'm connecting to Samba (the version from RedHat 7.2), Windows 2000, and Windows XP servers. I can try removing and reinstalling all the packages involved. Would that just be gnome-vfs2, gnome-vfs2-smb, and nautilus?
Yeah.
I removed the above packages (along with gnome-vfs2-devel), made sure there were no left over files, and then reinstalled the packages. I'm still seeing the same problem.
I see the same problem too, unassociated action when double clicking on smb:// share lists
