Hardy broke GNOME's Samba support - bizarre behavior

[Shii]

What I did in both 7.10 and 8.04:

Places -> Connect to Server...

type in SMB domain, share, folder, and username

What 7.10 did:

Connected me to the correct folder immediately, and created a link to the folder on my desktop. When I log out and log back in, the folder is happily still there.

What 8.04 does:

Prints out this error message:


Can't display location "smb://domain/share/folder

The specified location is not mounted

Creates a link for the ROOT share on my desktop (WHY?!)

When I open it up, creates a SECOND link to the root share on my desktop

When I log out, both links disappear permanently

Try the following from a terminal window but replace the 'windowsbox' with the IP address. Using the client from the terminal will provide you with any error messages. This worked for me.

smbclient //windowsbox/share

example smbclient //192.168.2.2/share

shii@daxyne:~$ smbclient //home.its.longdomain.com/home
session request to HOME.ITS.LONGDOM failed (Called name not present)
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
I did enter the password right, too
