I'm not convinced this is not a bug.
I can confirm that this problem has occurred recently, actually about one week ago.

I have a Dlink DNS-323 connected to my network over SMB. The FTP-server has worked throughout Edgy, Feisty, Gutsy and Hardy alpha/beta without any complains. I don't use it daily but a week ago when samba among other things was updated i Hardy it just stopped working. Actually not true, it works for 1-3 minutes of browsing around and then it hangs and after another minute or two after which I get this messages saying that a reponse (DBUS_ERROR_NO_REPLY) is never returned.

When booting my Gutsy and Windows everything works fine.

I checked what happened a week ago at the time when the problem arose.
Among other things I found the most suspected in my mind was that
- samba was upgraded from 3.0.28a-0ubuntu3 to 3.0.28a-1ubuntu1
- smbclient was upgraded from 3.0.28a-0ubuntu3 to 3.0.28a-1ubuntu1
- samba-common was upgraded from 3.0.28a-0ubuntu3 to 3.0.28a-1ubuntu1

I thought (hoped) that maybe 3.0.28a-1ubuntu2 should cure the problem but it didn't so. I also made at backup of my smb.conf and let i update that one acc to the author even though there were just a few minor changes.

It seems that the new 3.0.28a-1ubuntu3 version cured my problem with Nautilus and the FTP-server.
Thus I assume that this was a MIME conversion problem.

I get this error repeatedly when working with sftp (and ocassionally ftp) connections in nautilus. It's like the sftp session times out in the background but nautilus doesn't want to reopen it - it just gives this error when I try to re-access that host until i logout/login.

[James Manring (james-manring)]

I am getting this error every time I try to open any computer on my network when I go to places > network. I am running LUCID 10.04 beta 1.

same here :
DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
when connecting to a windows share.
Pedro, does this need to be moved ore close?
