Bug#699895: nautilus: GNOME hangs and gives an error when opening the "Network" place

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.4.2-1+build1
Severity: normal


Hi.

Using GNOME Fallback the following happens when I go to the place "Network"
(i.e. Start Menu / Places / Network).

Most parts of GNOME Freeze,... e.g the whole panel and the clock applet.
I can however still Atl+Tab (though that might be because my WM is compiz)
and e.g. open Terminals still work.

After a while, the following error pops up and things go on normally:

> Could not open location 'network://'
> DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible
> causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus
> security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network
> connection was broken.




A bit later I tried again, via Start Menu / Places / Computer .
And from there in the menu Go / Network.
(now it worked via Start Menu / Places / Network, too, don't ask me why... it was
only a minute or so later and nothing has changed)


It worked and I see the icon "Windows Network", which is where I actually wanted
to go to.

Double clicking on that though gives me a popup:
> Unable to mount location
> Failed to retrieve share list from server

I'd have expected to see the Samba exports from a Windows VM that runs inside a
local KVM.
Not sure if this is somehow my fault; smbclient and stuff is installed.
But I couldn't find out what GNOME actually does to see the "Windows Network".

When I go directly to the smb mount, e.g.
nautilus smb://<local VM IP>/Users
it works fine.


Any ideas? :)

Thanks,
Chris.
