I am seeing this same problem in Feisty. To reproduce: To reproduce: Ubuntu menu->Places->Network->Windows Network->the alanos->NATHANS where "the alanos" is my smb workgroup (though I usually type it in all upper case, nautilaus is showing it in lower case) and "NATHANS" is the name of an XP Home PC. Launching NATHANS gives this error.
"Cannot open NATHANS "The filename "NATHANS" indicates that this file is of type "desktop configuration file". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "x-directory/smb-share". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system. "Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "x-directory/smb-share", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file." Right-clicking on the NATHANS icon and choosing "Connect to this server" adds a similar NATHANS icon to my desktop. Launching that icon results in the same error. Looking at the properties of the icon: Basic tab: Name: NATHANS Type: x-directory/smb-share Contents: unreadable Location: smb://the%20alanos Permissions tab: The permissions of "NATHANS" could not be determined. Using Places->Connect to Server... and specifying a share name works fine. Open With tab: Open folder -- Trying to get samba share results in weird filetype error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24660 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
