Weird behavior for network and computer locations

[shadysamir]

When I try to open any network share (samba or other) or try to open computer from places, the file browser window closes and I lose my desktop icons until the next restart. This behavior is new. The network locations actually ask for my username and password but then once it tries to show the files the window closes.

I am able to browse all folders on my hard drive and other local ntfs volumes. But once I try to open from the same file browser a network location the windows closes and desktop icons disappear.

It would help to know what version you are using, as I had the same problem with Karmic alpha2. A reinstall using the daily build soved the problem. I had several other problems, so a clean install was needed.

My version is Jaunty with all the latest updates.

I have the same issue with Jaunty. It was working fine until an update about two days ago.

[shadysamir]

The issue was resolved on its own on my ubuntu. I am not sure if it's related to any updates.

Plain reboot did not correct the issue, but an update and reboot did the trick.

9.04 same exact issue here. I have tried several reboot's and log out login attempts.

What logs can I check to see if any errors are recorded?

Issue was created perhaps by bad mount/unmount of usb disk.

UPDATE: Since the problem I can no longer mount my samba share on Linkstation. I have been using the same command, now it does not work.


mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)


I still get the error using sudo and su to root user.

Can't anyone give a hint?

[volkswagner]

Please, can't anyone suggest how to debug this. Since I am not the only case, this may be a bug?

Even if you don't know how to fix it, perhaps you can point me to what logs shall have relevant info, or hint to what process is broken. Is it a network, GDM, Nautilus, or what?

EDIT: Well perhaps I have more info to offer.

From /var/log/messages:

Does this indicate a hardware issue? I am running on an IBM ThinkPad T43.
