I had a hard time collecting all the dependencies and getting autogen to work, but after about an hour of Googling and tinkering I was finally able to get it the patched version of gvfsd-smb-browse compiled and installed. I'm sure just getting the binary posted here would have worked fine, but I generally prefer compiling things to binaries as an old Linux server administrator.
The only problems I've noticed are there is no option to save the username/password to the Gnome keyring, as has already been noted. I also noticed a definite slowdown in accessing the shares, although I'm assuming that is because of the extra overhead of determining if they need authentication. Also- when I double-click on a server, I get the username/domain/password dialog, but when I enter them- nothing appears to happen. I need to double-click on the server again to actually open it. This is probably related to the bogus "Unable to mount." issue that is in another bug. Just my observations. Thank you so much for coming up with this patch Paul! It makes Ubuntu a lot more usable for me again. -- nautilus does not display samba shares for machines inside an ADS network. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207072 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
