GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 520390
PATCH: Connecting to SSH server gives "The specified location is not mounted" error
Last modified: 2008-03-17 11:48:10 UTC
The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/198531 "Binary package hint: nautilus I am using Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy (development). My version of nautilus is 1:2.21.92svn20080303-0ubuntu1 Expected behaviour: 1. Go to Places menu 2. Select 'Connect to Server...' 3. Select Service Type 'SSH' 4. Enter valid value for "Server:" and "User:" (the user name on the particular server I'm connecting to is not the same as my local user name) and leave all other values blank 5. Press 'Connect' 6. Window appears containing contents of remote directory (probably / since I'm not entering a value at Folder:) Actual behaviour: 6. does not occur. Instead an error dialog appears with "Can't display location "sftp://[remote user]@[server name]/ The specified location is not mounted" I can ssh to [remote user]@[server name] on the command line; there are no errors about host key verification or anything else."
I am seeing the same behavior with this identical version of nautilus. Interestingly, manually entering a URL for an SSH location (control-L) in a Nautilus window connects and browses correctly; however, an icon is unexpectedly created on the desktop for this new (manually entered) connection.
confirming, I get exactly the same behavior as above. Whatsmore, my network "mounts" (made with nautilus 2.20) all disappeared when I upgraded to 2.21.x, but I can't add them back because of this bug!
I see the same with smb here.
I can confirm it same problem here with nautilus 2.21.92svn20080303-0ubuntu2 (Ubuntu Hardy Heron). Every network places has gone and no way to remount it
related to the "folder on remote destination" thing and also comment #1 and comment #2, I filed bug #522140
I'm seeing the same error message when using gvfs-ls, so I don't think this is a nautilus bug, but rather a GVFS bug.

seb, feel free to mention that bug 522445 contained a PATCH located at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=107342&action=view . otherwise that info would get lost...
there is a mail about the patch which has been sent to the mailing list and since the maintainer look at this one rather than bugzilla that should be no issue
