Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
If I do Places -> Network Servers -> Windows Network, the two workgroups in use on my LAN appear as 'blank paper' icons, which when doubleclicked produce an error:
-------
Couldn't display "smb:///mshome".
The location is not a folder.
-------
The same is true for the other 'WORKGROUP' workgroup :/
Here's the really odd thing. *SOMETIMES* - maybe one in three attempts, the icon will change to the proper 'PCs + cabling' icon as soon as I press OK, at which point I can browse that workgroup.
Often I will simply need to press 'Reload' several times to get the 'real' icon to appear.
The same thing then happens for each server inside the workgroup! :/
This occurs both on the RC edgy CD, and on an installed edgy system with all updates applied. Edgy was installed as a clean-install - not an upgrade.
This all used to work OK in dapper :(
I see this same problem. Usually, clicking the "Reload" icon completes the reading of the share. I am running this on a relatively slow machine (600 Mhz Celeron) and it worked in Dapper.
