Description Helmut Eberharter 2008-05-09 08:00:22 UTC
I'm unable to browse AD-Shares, because gvfs isn't asking me for a user/pass. But it is possible to access shares, if I type it in (not borwsing), then gvfs asks me for auth and everything works.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open nautilus
2. navigate to an AD Server
3.

Actual Results:  
no shares are shown

Expected Results:  
asked for authentication & shares get listed

There is an upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524485
And a patch at launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/207072/comments/7

added the fix-smbbrowse.patch to the 0.2.3.ebuild from tree

Works like a charm (here)

That patch is _big_. I'd rather wait for upstream to approve this bug, or even release a new gvfs tarball.

Thanks for providing the patch and an ebuild, if others desperately need it, they can put it in an overlay.

Thanks
Comment 4 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2009-01-19 13:04:20 UTC
There's stuff committed to trunk now. I guess we could consider backporting that beast to 1.0.x

gvfs-smb-browse-auth.patch

This is the patch backported to opensuse, but I cannot test it, maybe reporter would be able to do it ;-)
Comment 6 Helmut Eberharter 2009-01-30 17:45:18 UTC
Built gvfs-1.0.3 with the fix-smbbrowse patch. Can't say if it is really fixed. Now it get "Failed to retrieve share list from server" which is better than before (no message at all), but still no authentication request.

So it's not fixed from my point of view. At least not with 1.0.3.

But upstream they metioned that a fix will be included in 1.1.x.
Comment 7 Helmut Eberharter 2009-01-30 17:48:26 UTC
Oh! Maybe i ran into http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=568851

But further investigatio has to wait till next week.
Comment 8 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2010-02-19 16:34:16 UTC
Per upstream bug report, this should be fixed with 1.2* (current stable is 1.2.3)

OK with closing this one?
Comment 9 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-03-01 21:00:16 UTC
assuming fixed per comment #8. Please reopen if it's not the case with >=gvfs-1.2
