Bug Description

After an installation (warty7) the user can't access to smb share (but can view
then) because smbfs is not installed, and not available on the cd.

It is easy enough for smbfs to be provided on the CD, but nautilus can access
SMB shares without using smbfs, in a more secure fashion.

Colin, shall we add it to ShipSeed?

OK, as clarified on IRC, the bug is actually that Nautilus doesn't seem to be
able to access the submitter's SMB shares

How do you try to access to them ? What kind of error do you get exactly ?

I still need details on the problem. I've just upload gnome-vfs2_2.7.92-0ubuntu5
which fixes a problem with "x-directory/smb-share" directories, perhaps it was
your problem ... please test with the new package and let me know.

This fixes the issue:

 gnome-vfs2 (2.7.92-0ubuntu5) warty; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/patches/07_smb_browse.patch:
     - fix the handling of "x-directory/smb-share" directories.
