Thanks Sebastien, appreciate what you do, we know you work like mad :-) Just for the record: Tried fedora core 5 and smb browsing via nautilus was quite snappy, so it must be (at least a little bit) Ubuntu-specific.
Nevertheless, interesting news: I get very slow browsing when I use the following: Go to Places - Network Servers - Windows Network - netzwerk ... If I do the following: Places - Connect to Server... and connect via Service type "Windows share" everything is really fast again, even if I use Places - Network Servers - Windows Network afterwards. When I disconnect the share on my Deskop, browsing is slow again. Frank, maybe you can confirm this? -- smb access almost unusable slow in Dapper compared to Breezy https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34203 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
