I believe I can confirm. In Xfce when I set up a launcher for (with "local IP" and "user" being the appropriate ones):
smbmount //local IP/all_shared mount -o username=user And set it up to launch from terminal, the system freezes after inputting the password. I've also tried the following variant conditions: 1) When guest access is allowed on the server and I do not set it to launch from terminal, it does not freeze and works just fine. 2) Copying and pasting this directly into the terminal makes it work just fine. 3) When entering both username=user and password=pass in the shortcut and with launch from terminal turned off and guest access to the server turned off, it mounts just fine. So it seems like with "run with terminal" on, once I enter the password it crashes. I'm able to consistently get it to crash this way. Unfortunately, The Samba server does in fact have unix extensions = no. If it helps, the server also has symlinks on it leading outside of the share, with follow symlinks and wide links as yes. -- mount -t smbfs works from cmdline https://launchpad.net/bugs/47685 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
