Feisty: kde-systemsettings, disk & filesystems, crashes when adding smb-share

[Rami Autiomäki]

Binary package hint: kde-systemsettings

When adding smb-share from disk & filesystems in kde-systemsettings, disk & filesystems crashes when pressed button "scan".

Thank you for filing this bug.
Can you try running it with "mountconfig" from the command line and post the output when it crashes?

[Rami Autiomäki (rami-autiomaki)]

Here running from konsole:

kdesu mountconfig

KCrash: Application 'mountconfig' crashing...

Not very helpful, I think.

[Rami Autiomäki (rami-autiomaki)]

Mountconfig won't crash if smb-share is offline. Then it displays correct error message.

[Sebastian Kügler (sebasje)]

Is the output more useful when running kcmshell mountconfig from a console?

[Rami Autiomäki (rami-autiomaki)]

Not much here:

sudo kcmshell mountconfig
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
  Major opcode: 145
  Minor opcode: 3
  Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device

[Yuriy Kozlov (yuriy-kozlov)]

I can confirm this on current Kubuntu Feisty. I get the same [lack of] output.

[Sb (sb56637)]

Also confirmed here on Kubuntu Feisty.

[Martin Böhm (martin.bohm)]

The application collapses (here) at the line:

        self.exec_loop()

in the choose(self,currenturl) method
of the SMBShareSelectDialog(KDialogBase) class
located in the SMBShareSelectDialog.py file.

[Ralf Folkerts (ralf-folkerts)]

In Gutsy get an error when trying to add a SMB-Share; however, when running systemsettings or mountconfig from the command line I get the error below; not sure if this is the same problem as the one reported above?

[Gregor Rosenauer (grexe)]

confirmed here with Gutsy and latest updates as of today. Will try with HardyHeron...

btw is there any reason the dialog is hidden in the expert settings? On Windows, this functionality is available right via right-click-menu from the desktop...(!)
In Kubuntu, you only can mount NFS-shares via shortcut-menu, but no SMB/CIFS-shares.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Is this bug present in a Kubuntu release greater than Gutsy? Gutsy and Feisty have both ended their supported life.

[Jonathan Jesse (jjesse)]

i am no longer experiencing this problem, on Karmic or on Jaunty.

Thanks Jonathan for following up
