From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: I'm running fedora core 2 with samba 3.0.3-5 installed. The computer is connected to a lan with two Win98SE and one Win2k (service pack 4) machines. From the gnome desktop, when I click Computer->Network->Windows Network I see an icon for the Windows workgroup. When I click that icon it opens a window with icons for all of the machines in the workgroup. When I click on an icon for either of the Win98SE machines, I can see the shares on those machines. When I click on the icon for the Win2k machine, a window opens that says: "Error Displaying Folder. The folder contents could not be displayed. You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "Windows Network xxx"" This occurs when I am logged in as root as well as a user. As root, I cannot change the permissions for this folder. I do not believe this is a windows permissions problem, since I can mount the remote share with smbmount. Once mounted, I can view the remote share with nautilus. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-desktop 2.6.0.1 release 1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click Computers->Network->Windows Network->Workgroup Name 2.Click on icon for Win2k machine 3. Actual Results: Error window described above Expected Results: If there is a MS Windows permission problem then I would expect gnome to prompt me for username and password, or tell me "access denied" Additional info:
123899 and 125336 describe the same problem.
What does work is trying to connect to the share directly i.e typing in smb://server/share This allows me to acces the files on the share. What does not work and results in the above mentioned error code is smb://server i.e browsing all available shares on the W2k machine is not possible. "Error Displaying Folder. The folder contents could not be displayed. You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "Windows Network xxx"" is the result.
The same problem: 'smbclient //<machine>/<directory' works OK, but using NAUTILUS (in KDE, not in GNOME) givs the error message "Error Displaying Folder. The folder contents could not be..." etc. Only on FC2, not on FC1. No matter W2k nor W98.
I'm still seeing this problem in FC3 test 2. gnome-vfs2-smb-2.8.1-2 gnome-vfs2-2.8.1-2 nautilus-2.8.0-1 samba-common-3.0.7-3 samba-client-3.0.7-3
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Closing due to lack of response. There have been a lot of changes in gnome-vfs2-smb since 2.8.x. Please retest. If this problem still occurs, please reopen the bug and offer more information.
