Gigolo trys to use port 21 for SMB/CIFS connect

[Florian Wagner]

When i try to connect to a smb/cifs share, gigolo always adds port 21 to the connect string and so the connection fails.

When i add a bookmark for the same connection port 21 is listed as used port.

I use gigolo installed from the official repository in Ubuntu 19.10.

gigolo adds port 21 to smb connections?

Gigolo version 0.5.0 on opensuse tumbleweed

I initially created a bug with opensuse: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1155611
Copying data and screenshot here for easier checking:

I was recently trying to add a gigolo smb share, and notice it failed to connect to my server. When I looked at the error message, I notice that port 21 was added at the end of connection. And server refused to accept connection.
It seems somehow gigolo adds port 21 from FTP selection, into SMB selection? I am sure it was not a problem when I added shares a few months back.
Attaching screenshot for reference.

Also affects Linux Mint 19.3:
0.5.0-1~18.04 amd64

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Michael Pelley (mpelley)]

Workaround: Create your bookmark(s) without autoconnect. Close gigolo and ensure that gigolo is not running. Edit the gigolo bookmarks under $HOME/.config/gigolo/ and change each bookmark CIFS/SMB entry from port=21 to port=445.

Confirmed in Xubuntu 20.04. Michael's suggestion in #3 gets around the defect. Thanks Michael!

Probably related to bug 14928.

If you change the port to '0' before switching the connection type to "Windows Share", no port number will be added to the address.

Interesting, thanks.

I found another workaround to add bookmarks in gigolo, until this is fixed.
If I open Thunar, and enter the smb share manually: smb://ipaddressorhostname/share
Once I login and the share opens, It automatically shows up in gigolo as well. Then from that, I can right click and bookmark that share in gigolo.

I hope this helps

Hey, something WRONG is happening here. First of all, this bug is definitely NOT Invalid. I need to manually workaround this. So, please,

1) mark it some other status than Invalid.
2) this is not duplicate of "OpenOffice is not setup for Danish running in the Danish locale" #15455 as stated in comment #8

Confirmed on my machine that now the behavior is Gigolo does not write a port= entry when making SMB protocol bookmarks.

Using a newly created bookmark does successfully connect to the Samba server.

Assuming leaving port= out completely was an intended change, then I call this defect successfully resolved.
