Can you confirm if you still have this issue with the current release? If yes, is it just some particular protocols that are giving this error? ** Changed in: gnome-network (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: gnome-network => nautilus Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- Unable to connect to a server through the UI. https://launchpad.net/bugs/34258 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
