smb:/// No application is registered as handling this file

Thank you for your bug, but have you installed 'samba' from the repository?

Yeah, I have:

tcruz@tuxkiller:~$ dpkg -l | grep samba
ii samba 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3 a LanManager-like file and printer server fo
ii samba-common 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3 Samba common files used by both the server a

My setup was working very well on 8.04, but stop to work now (8.10).

Thanks!

I was able to recreate this bug in 8.10. I can verify that the problem does not exist in 8.04.1. In 8.04.1, running smb:// brought up the nautilus network browser. The workaround is very simple. You should be able to navigate your samba network through the nautilus File Browser or through the Places -> Network menu. Your printer should be listed there.

 Anthony,

Thanks for confirm this bug. I know the workaround, but the problem is: Some app's can't impress on my printer 'cause of this problem, like:

- Firefox = not work
- Gedit = not work
- OpenOffice = Work

Did you understood? :-(

Thanks!

The ability of your applications to print to a network printer is separate from the function of the gnome run dialog. Please add your network printer to gnome using the System->Administration->Printing application. Additionally, please do not change the assignment or status of this bug to other packages. Thank you.

Why do you think you cannot print because of this problem? Just set up your printer using System->Administration->Printing.

Milan,

Because not work. "Can't prompt for authorization" its the error message

- Firefox = Not work
- Gedit = Not work
- Evince = Not work
- OpenOffice = Work

Do you think your present problem is the cause of that bug in Evince? I don't expect so. The problem you mention in the report is an intended behavior and has nothing to do with bug 305030 which comes from GTK+.

I don't know what I want you to test since your report is not clear to me. There's bug 305030 about not being able to print from GTK+ apps (including Evince). The problem you report here is not a standard usecase, this is why I marked your bug as a duplicate. In bug 305030 you'll find more informations.

regarding the original bug report:

i resolved this issue in ubuntu by using those commands:

$ gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/smb/command 'nautilus "%s"'
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/smb/enabled true
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/smb/need-terminal false

i thing that this information should be in the gnome config in the first place.

this adds nautilus as smb:// protocol handler.

oh, and i don't think this is a samba issue, at least not the first part of the report.

I can confirm this problem in 9.04:

Typing smb://servername in a nautilus windows location bar works. But bookmarking this and trying to open the bookmark gives the error "No application is registered....".

Using "Connect to server" gives the same problem.

After applying the fixes from the last post by Michael Gefen (adding nautilus as smb:// protocol handler) it works.

This "should just work" - so can the gconf settings be included in a bugfix release? Or should this bug be reported some where else in the stack?
