GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 697869
Nautilus CIFS Windows Share Mount Bug
Last modified: 2013-04-16 12:24:26 UTC
After upgrading to ubuntu 12.04.2 (64bit)from 11.04 I experience the same problem. The connection which worked under the older ubuntu is not able to connect anymore. Set up a new one does not solve the problem. using cifs works with: sudo mount -t cifs //server /mountpoint -o username=user,domain=dame Version of Nautilus: 3.4.2 Discussion on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1130399
The Connect to Server dialog is changed in version 3.6. [0] bug 682637 It asks for the URL now. [1] Can you connect to the server using nautilus 3.6? [0] bug 682637 [1] https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/nautilus-connect.html
Using Live disk with Fedora 18 and Nautlus 3.6.3 I can confirm that I connect again to our server. Since we use ubuntu 12.04.2 on the workstations in our lab it would be great to have a patch for Nautilus 3.4.x! Best Markus
Thank you for testing! GNOME developers are no longer working on version 3.4, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for that version. But it's the version shipped with Ubuntu's LTS release, so you may get a fix from Ubuntu. I suggest going back to your Launchpad report and push for a patch there. Thank you again for testing with the live disk!
