Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Using hardy alpha 4, nautilus 1:2.21.90-0ubuntu3:

Double-clicking on a nautilus bookmark to mount an (unmounted) Samba share gives the following error:

Couldn't display "smb://10.1.1.2/share"

Error: DBus error
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Mountpoint
Already registered
Please select another viewer and try again.

The problem only occurs when double-clicking; it works fine with a single click on the bookmark. Once the drive is mounted, the error no longer appears on double-clicking (I have to manually unmount it first, then double-click, then I get the same error).

I created the nautilus bookmark for "smb://10.1.1.2/share" by first manually specifying the location smb://10.1.1.2/share and then dragging the subfolder I wanted to bookmark over to Nautilus' bookmarks.

I can unmount it with the right mouse menu either via the bookmark in nautilus or the desktop icon that appears.

I hope i have found the correct "bug":

Nautilus 2.28.1 still have the problem, that only a single click is needed to open a smb-bookmark in the sidebar.

The default-user doesnt know and gets with a doubleclick the error. (cant.... mountpoint already registered apperas, while in background the smb folder is already opened. confusing the unexperienced users, this is!)

Further on it is not possible to change the bookmark icons in this sidebar.

My Christmas Wish: Please fix until 10.04 :)!
