SAMBA connections cause nautilus gui to hang for a long time (~5 mins)

[Catherine Holloway]

If I open a SAMBA connection and lose wifi, when I re-connect and attempt to re-open the SAMBA connection, the nautilus gui freezes.

If I then kill the nautilus process and start it again, it takes a long time to load the gui, and the SAMBA connections are not able to re-open. There is no "loading" icon in the lower right hand corner of the screen.

After I run:
pkill gvfsd-smb

I am able to re-open the SAMBA connections as normal.

Nautilus does not report any error messages that I can see when it freezes.

I am running:

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Could you try if you still get that issue in newer Ubuntu series?
