Description Sebastien Bacher 2008-09-26 11:52:13 UTC 
the bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/209355

"Summary:

As of Hardy Beta 1 with Nautilus 2.22.1-0ubuntu1 it is impossible to navigate an FTP server (gvfs) using the text-base location bar. This problem is always reproducible.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to Places -> Connect to Server...
2. Choose 'FTP (with login)'
3. Fill in the details (valid 'Server:' and 'User Name:')
4. Click 'Connect'.
5. When the server connects Nautilus opens a window at that location. Press Ctrl-L (or click the text-entry icon on the left of the address bar). The address changes to the url of the current FTP location.
6. Append a valid path on the FTP at the end of this location (e.g. ftp.ubuntu.com/[add path here]).

So somehow g_str_equal is getting a null pointer. When I have more time, I'll follow the backtrace a bit more to see if I can find out why."
