Hi, I started to use Ubuntu a few months ago and switched to Bluefish editor for programming purposes. Since I am constantly developing to a remote server through an ftp connection, I come across this problem with the gvfs every half hour, if not more often.
While saving program codes through the editor I receive an error message quite often stating the following: "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." I have checked the issue on other forums, and it seems the ftp connection simply dies after a period and reconnection is not done properly on the first attempt of upload. Actually, the file is deleted, then touched, but will not getting populated, and the program would not respond for about 20 seconds. Once I received the error, and click Ok, the second time of saving the data is being uploaded all right. And this gets repeated again again. Hard to define what is the time out period. So providing more advanced settings when making a server connection would be useful - especially timeout value and if the connection should be kept alive. And I have no idea why reconnection would fail for the first time. Also I can see that many people have signed up to be notified about the changes of this bug but only 3 of us have marked to be affected by it. Can you please push it a bit more and maybe mark it as being affected if you are? And of course, thank you and respect for the support, keeping such a close relationship with users and the all the work you have done so far.

Nautilus has big problems with FTP connections. Although it was changed in version 11.10 of Ubuntu it still do not work as expected. What happens? If I try to access a FTP folder from the bookmarks when the FTP connection is dead I get a box saying the host has closed the connection. I click OK, and try to press the bookmark again, several times, and nothing happens. So I try to unmount the FTP folder by clicking on the "eject" icon in the bookmarks and then nautilus closes since it was a ftp folder that was open. Then I can open nautilus again and connect. I also have problems editing files from an FTP folder using gedit, but they are not so serious, and is improved from 11.04. If the FTP connection is dead, you will get a warning, this must be removed before you can press Ctrl + S again to save the file. What I expect to happen? When I try to open or save something in an FTP folder when the connection is dead, I want it to reconnect automatically. Since I'm using at least 40 hours a week to edit files in an FTP or SFTP folder, this is a big problem for me. I really, really appreciate if someone can fix it. :) Nautilus: 1:3.2.1-0ubuntu2 Ubuntu: 11.10 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: nautilus 1:3.2.1-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Nov 10 01:31:43 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=nb_NO:nb:no_NO:no:nn_NO:nn:en PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/888365/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
