If one does not log in fast enough to a Samba share, log in fails

[Simón A. Ruiz]

Binary package hint: samba

When attempting to log in to a Samba share (a la "nautilus smb://server/share") in Ubuntu 6.10, if one waits too long to log in, it simply closes the log-in window and presents a new one.

Works fine in Ubuntu 5.10.

Not technically relevant but this caused me a headache to figure out.

A student came up to me and said "I can't get into my locker" (a Samba share).

I sat and watched her carefully and painstakingly type all her information into the log-in prompt, and it didn't work.

I typed it in, and it worked.

She typed it in very carefully as I watched and confirmed that she was not making a single mistake, and it didn't work.

I typed it in, and it worked.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

My head literally hurt because it seemed impossible for me to replicate her error until I adopted her way of typing very carefully and painstakingly and realized that the significant variable was time.

Thank you for the report. Your story explains the problem very nicely :)

Does this still happen under Feisty or Gutsy?

[Simón A. Ruiz (simon.a.ruiz)]

Under Feisty, yes. I haven't been keeping up on Gutsy.

I get an error message:

The folder contents could not be displayed. You do not have the
permissions necessary to view the contents of "share".

Does this problem occur under hardy and can you post your logfile when this happens?

Thanks

This problem does not seem to occur under Hardy.

The whole process of "nautilus smb://server/share" and how it
interacts with the GNOME desktop has changed a bit since I reported
this bug.
