An other tought: If the GNOME team refuses to fix this bug, why does Ubuntu still use gvfs for samba shares? Wouldn't it be easier to implement cifs in a way similar to pyNeighbourhood ? I mean using cifs directly and not using the buggy gvfs-fuse GNOME software ?
It does not look very professional to newbie-users when a simple samba share just does not work in Ubuntu. I myself can easily work arround the problem, but my wife and my sister in law they are lost. It's getting really hard to confince people that Ubuntu is the better OS when there are showstoppers like this bug. I'm starting to get the impression that Ubuntu is on the way to copy Microsoft's philosophy regarding bugs: You have to keep the "prooven to be stable" bugs in the system. People might get scared off when the bugs they rely on suddenly get fixed. ;-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1075923 Title: nautilus hangs copying large directories from a samba share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/1075923/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
