Description of problem: It is not possible to mount windows shares via nautilus ("connect to server", "windows share"). No matter what kind of credentials I provide it with, it fails. I've seen two distinct error messages. The first appears upon creating the share, the second on subsequent attempts to access the share by clicking the created icon. 1) Can't display location "smb://someserver.example.com/sharename/" The specified location is not mounted 2) The folder contents could not be displayed. You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "sharename on someserver.example.com". Clicking the initially created also triggers the creation of a second icon, which appears like a copy of the first. I have never seen more that one additional icon (two total) from this bug. My permissions are fine for accessing the share and connecting through smbclient works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-vfs2-2.22.0-1.fc9.i386 gnome-vfs2-smb-2.22.0-1.fc9.i386 libsmbclient-3.2.0-1.pre3.9.fc9.i386 kernel-2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch "Connect to Server" wizard 2. Choose to connect to a Windows share 3. Add info that should allow access to a valid windows share Actual results: Failure Expected results: Success :-) Additional info: Please let me know what kind of info you need and I'll provide you with it. :)
Any news regarding this problem? It's still an issue here... I can connect to other cifs devices (NAS, Samba) but it fails on every Windows share I've tried... I'm on libsmbclient-3.2.0-2.17.fc9.i386, kernel-2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686, gvfs-0.2.5-1.fc9.i386 now.
Just changed the component to gvfs, since that is probably more correct... gvfs-mount doesn't work either and I believe that is the backend for this stuff? If i'm mistaken, please enlighten me...
This is a know issue and fix is being work on. In meantime, could you please check if you can get to your windows shares via smbclient? Also, the new gvfs version (0.2.5) has debug printouts turned on, can you please run '/usr/libexec/gvfsd -r' in terminal and attach the debug output here? (please note you may want to mask some personal informations from the output)
I can connect using smbclient without problems.
Created attachment 311428 [details] gvfsd -r output showing the problem as it happens
Any progress on this bug? Anything else I can provide you with to help?

I have seen this too, but not in the general case, in one very specific one (which I haven't quite nailed down). The interesting thing is that as far as I can tell it only affects one user, so it appears not to be a server configuration directly but may be some kind of obscure Active Directory thing. (The user *does* have full privileges to the share in question) A workaround seems to be to use the directory in ~/.gvfs/ which, surprisingly (at least in my case) *is* mounted. Weird that it is mounted in ~/.gvfs yet Nautilus doesn't see it...
Not sure if I fully understand your last comment. The ~/.gvfs/ directory is a mountpoint for gvfs-fuse, which exposes active gvfs mounts. You should see a subdirectory like 'share on server' and 'gvfs-mount -l' should list the mount adding full uri to it (smb://server/share/). If you can see this, you should be able to access the share in Nautilus. Please post any errors if that's not true.
I just tried, what Tim suggested and it works exactly like he says here too. - I complete the "Places -> Connect to Server" wizard - I get the error stating: "can't display location 'smb://server/share' - the specified location is not mounted. - I run gvfs-mount -l where I actually do see : Mount(0): share on server -> smb://server/share/ - I go to ~/.gvfs/ where a "share on server" actually exists - I can cd into "share on server" from where I can list and work with all the files - Now double-clicking the connection icon that has been created on my desktop, I get the second error "The folder contents could not be displayed - you do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of share on server" - checking gvfs-mount -l now reveals a second Mound(1) entry, identical to the first. (it's listed twice - Mount(0) and Mount(1)) - the same goes for ~/.gvfs/ - the folder appear twice in there (with identical name) and I can no longer cd into the directory. Hope this helps to clear something up?
(In reply to comment #9) > The ~/.gvfs/ directory is a > mountpoint for gvfs-fuse, which exposes active gvfs mounts. > If you can see this, you should be able to access the share in Nautilus. Yep, I know it *should* be possible and that it doesn't really make sense that Nautilus doesn't see it; that's why I said it was "weird" :-) To be crystal clear, I do regularly see situations where ~/.gvfs/[sharename] is working fine (=works normally, possible to read/write/list etc.), and the share appears in Nautilus's list but it isn't possible to access it via Nautilus and it gives errors like the ones in the original bug here. I previously assumed it was some random local configuration error, but since other people seem to be seeing it then maybe it's not. > Please post any errors if that's not true. I think that's what the original bug is Anyway, unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce that right now (as I said, it's on a specific user account in a specific environment - and that's not mine unfortunately), but I will do next time I see it. If there are any debugging commands that I can run (other than "gvfs-mount -l" which I will run next time, although I assume it's going to report the share as mounted, given that it's possible to read and write to ~/.gvfs/[sharename]), let me know.
For more debugging information, just yell! The problem is 100% reproducible on all my servers and shares (that I've tried) here, since F9 was released.
So is this bug actually in a completely different component? It seems like, behind the scenes, gvfs is working. OTOH, I don't know exactly how these things are interconnected, so...?
