mountconfig crashes while 'scanning' for windows shares

[Nick Lawson]

Binary package hint: kde-systemsettings

up-to-date Feisty install, no special packages, etc.
Kubuntu-Desktop installed.
This runs in a VMWare.

To reproduce this bug every time I simply
1. Open the system settings or kcontrol app
2. Go to the mountconfig pane
3. Enter admin mode
4. create a new entry by clicking new
5. change the type to 'windows file shareing'
6. Click the 'scan' button which appears
--> A scan dialog appears for a second or two, then the entire thing crashes :(
--> ALSO, if I fill the information in manually instead of scanning, clicking 'add' does nothing. no feedback, no new entry, no error box.

Note that I can properly mount samba drives and can use konqueror to navigate the various machines on the network manually, or by using konqueror browser and fstab so on, but if I didn't know about that stuff I'd be lost when it came to mounting the FS (ie as an everyday user)

Note that also even if I fill the information in manually, clicking the 'add' button does nothing at all. this is probably related (?).

I have precisely the same behaviour in my kubuntu 7.04 fresh install. Browsing samba shares with either konqueror or dolphin workd fine, though.

Cheers,

I have exactly the same problem with fresh kubuntu 7.04 install. Can someone give a clue of this. Or some workaround?

[Elliott (emahler)]

I have the same problem in kubuntu 7.10.
