** Description changed: This private bug is a support escalation to parallel Public Bug #216104 which explains the same issue. This was mistakenly filed without the private flag as bug #235774. Notification went out to various non-Canonical people, including the Ubuntu Bugs team. The first bug was closed as Invalid for now, this is a repost. The Places > Connect to Server... dialog in hardy do not work to connect to Windows share in hardy. There are multiple failure, and its behavior is extremely confusing. This worked without any problem on gutsy using the same server and same credentials. The share we are trying to connect to is hosted on a Windows Small Business Server 2003 server. - Local username: ubuntu - Remote username: ubuntu - Windows server name: win2003 - Windows domain name: canonical (it is an Active Directory) - Share name we connect to: clients To be sure this is not a problem that have been fixed in an upcoming update already, I installed the following package from hardy-proposed: nautilus 2.22.3-0ubuntu1 gvfs, gvfs-backends and libgvfscommon0 0.2.4-0ubuntu1 == Steps to reproduce == 1. Go to Places > Connect to Server..., choose "Windows Share" in Service Type, fill in "Server", "Share", "Username" and "Domain Name" appropriately with the value above, click the Connect button (see Screenshot-1.png) 2. "Enter Password" dialog is shown. Provide password and then click Connect (see Screenshot-2.png) 3. An error message is displayed: 'Can't display location "smb://win2003/clients" -- The specificed location is not mounted'. However, the shortcut icon appear on the desktop nonetheless (see Screenshot-3.png). Click Ok to dismiss. 4. Double-click the shortcut icon titled "clients on win2003" on the desktop. The "Enter Password" dialog is displayed again, this time with a wrong value for Domain (see Screenshot-4.png). Change Domain from "MSHOME" to "canonical", provide password and click Connect. 5. The content of the share is displayed as expected, but a second shortcut icon appear on the desktop, with the same name (see Screenshot-5.png). == Problems == 1. Confusing "Can't display location "smb://win2003/clients" -- The specificed location is not mounted" message, even tough a shortcut icon for the share appear on the desktop. 2. "Enter Password" dialog is displayed twice: once after filling the info in Place > Connect to Server, and then again when trying to open the share from the shortcut icon on the desktop. 3. The "Enter Password" have wrong value for Domain the second time it is shown. It should display the value entered originally. 4. When the correct domain and password are provided in the second "Enter Password" dialog, a second shortcut to the share appear on the desktop with the same name. Not sure if this bug should be filed against Nautilus or GVFS or something else, so I left the package field blank for now. If required, it is possible to give access to the VM for both the 8.04 clients and the Windows server. The client VM on the Montréal VMWare server is "Ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386", the server VM is "Windows Small Business Server 2003". Related Canonical support case is #2267. I did not report a public bug right away, as there are a couple bugs on the subject already in Launchpad and it is unclear if and how they relate to this one. Also, I was not sure if the bug should be reported as a single one, or as multiple independent ones. QA Team response deadline: May 30th 2008 11h AM EDT. - REF: 50020000002qQ1a + REF:50020000002qQ1a
