As the command $ nautilus smb://2001:666:2:1/sharing
leads to error message Could not display "smb://2001/sharing/". it seems the parser (?) chops off everything starting from the : (maybe because the : could be the separator between name/FQDN and port?), I tried to escape the colon: $ nautilus smb://%3A%3A1/sharing Alas, this leads to the same error: Could not find "smb:///sharing". So, even the escaped colon (%3A) is seen as a colon and leads to a chop- off. :-( As $ nautilus smb://[::1]/sharing leads to Could not display "smb://[::1]/sharing/". I don't think there is a need to escape the [ and ]. IMHO: the best solution is that Nautilus' SMB should be triggered by [ ] to use the included stuff as a litteral IPv6 address -- Nautilus not able to handle litteral IPv6 address like smb://::1/sharing/ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492948 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
