Description Stephan Bergmann 2022-04-07 08:08:21 UTC
With nautilus-42.0-1.fc36.x86_64, in "Other Locations: Networks", clicking on the icon of a Mac that provides sharing via Samba, I get a failure dialog "Unable to access location:  Failed to retrieve share list from server: Invalid argument".

(I only use Nautilus and Samba shares in the rare event that I need to debug some LibreOffice smb URL issue, and then always use a share on that Mac because that's easy to enable on macOS.  This used to work in the past, and still works fine against the same Mac with another machine that runs F35 rather than F36, where clicking the icon brings up a password dialog as expected.  I haven't tried accessing any other Samba servers from the failing F36 machine.)

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

> FEDORA-2022-84703f9ea7 has been pushed to the Fedora 36 testing repository.

...but then revoked there and never pushed to stable, "Please don't push this (i.e. cancel the stable request), this broke webdav in nautilus: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2078857"

With nautilus-44.0-1.fc38.x86_64, I still get "Unable to access:  Failed to retrieve share list from server:  Connection timed out".  (Though I didn't check further whether the "Connection timed out" vs. "Invalid argument" could be due to some other issue, presumably on the Mac side, and this bug here would be fixed now after all.)

Comment 5 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2024-02-14 15:17:53 UTC
This component is maintained by the GNOME project. Issues with it should be reported directly to GNOME at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/.

This issue should only be kept open if it:

1. Relates to Fedora packaging or integration with other Fedora components
2. Is required for Fedora release processes, such as blocker bugs and freeze exceptions

If this issue isn't needed for either of these two reasons, please:

 * create an issue with GNOME
 * add a link to the GNOME issue here
 * close this issue as CLOSED/UPSTREAM

Thank you!

Fedora Linux 38 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-05-21.

Fedora Linux 38 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
