I'm not sure why the shared need to be mounted to query the display name but that seems to be buggy, delaying the password handling when it's really required would make sense though.
the gnome-panel code should also use the async gio api to avoid such issues, the changes should not be too complicated but that's not likely going to be changed before 8.04.1 now, and libgnomeui seems to have similar issues too the blocking call is smbc_opendir apparently, if the code can't be easily changed maybe one option would be to revert to the patch variant which tries authentification before anonymous for 8.04.1, that would create an usuability regression for users who browse network which don't require authentification though since they would get lot of password prompts not required -- nautilus does not display samba shares for machines inside an ADS network. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207072 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
