Description mikbini 2010-04-06 09:45:58 UTC
If I repeatedly mount, unmount, mount etc. network shares (I verified this with smb and webdav) from nautilus, sometimes I get:

"Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)"

In order to trigger the error I have to be quick: bookmarking the shares (saving their passwords) and then using the side pane helps a lot.

A simple workaround is to retry the mount a little later.

The issue seems a libgnome-keyring interaction one, see the stacktrace there http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44842891/_usr_lib_gvfs_gvfsd-smb.1000.crash

I'm seeing this issue on multiple computers accessing Samba shares on a NFS device. I'd say confirmed as reported.

Workaround is to not save the passwords in the GNOME keyring and enter them on every connection, but this is less than ideal.

Using Ubuntu 10.04, though I was seeing the issue less frequently on 9.10 before I upgraded.

The linked bug reports indicate that it has been fixed (possibly libgnome-keyring).
