SMB support broken when logging in with GDM
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
Please describe the problem: When I log in using GDM the SMB support in nautilus is broken. It shows up some content but doesn't recognize the shares and fails to browse them. When starting with gnome-session called by startx everything works fine and I can browse SMB Steps to reproduce: 1. Everytime 2. 3. Actual results: As described above. Expected results: I'd like to login with GDM and be able to browse SMB. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
what version of nautilus are you using ? do you have any error in ~/.xsession-errors ?
I got it fixed. When using non standard locations for the mime-database like I do with /opt/gnome/share/mime one needs to set XDG_DATA_DIRS explicitly. The GDM Xsession reads ~/.profile but not ~/.bash_profile. Linking the files did the job. So this bug wasn't really a bug of nautilus but of GDM.
bug closed so, thanks.
