Unity's files lens fails to mount bookmarked remote shares

[Laurent Dinclaux]

Binary package hint: unity

On my corporate network, I work a lot with smb shared.

I open an smb share and add it to nautilus bookmarks. Then after a reboot or after unmounting that share, if I open the file lens and click on that share from the favorite folders list, nothing happens: the share doesn't get mounted, nautilus doesn't open up, no error is thrown.

Regards

Confirmed for me too. Opening the File & Folders Lens or through Dash > Find Files the Samba share is not launched.

The attached branch fixes this. I tested this with FTP and SSH shares. FTP works well, but it seems that SSH mounts doesn't play nicely except for the very first (auto) mount. If you eject an SSH mount it's having trouble auto-remounting. This may only be for me though, because ~mhr3 reports it working reliably for him.
