Hi! I wonder if I perhaps I am the only openSUSE user experiencing problems sharing files and directories with Nautilus and Thunar over samba? The problems started -if I remeber right- somewhere with SuSE12.1, today I use 12.3. In SuSE13.1 with gvfs 1.18 the problem seems to be solved. I've been using SuSE since 8.2 and have never experienced any problems related to samba-shares with Nautilus before. I am using samba because it is very handy having both Linux, Windows and Mac OS X machines in my network. With one exception I also share files between my Linux-machines using samba. The problem occurs when I try to copy files or whole directories to or from a samba share. Copying starts but hangs (freezes) when 2-30% has been copied. It's impossible to stop the copying if I don't kill the process. The other day I did a deeper search around the problem and found an ubuntu-bug-report that describes -as long as I've read- exactly the same problem (despite I never read or play any files over samba). -The ubuntu-report referred to a bugzilla.gnome-bug that reports the same issue. It seems the bug is related to the gvfs-smb part of the gvfs-backends with gvfs versions over 1.12. No similar problems with gvfs-ftp: Ftp works allright. The filed ubuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1075923 And the related gnome bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697782 I opened a thread in the forum: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/494777-Problem-copying-from-samba... but just got one encouraging reply about trying to upgrade gvfs (according to the ubuntu-bug report). The upgrade got somewhat disastrous ;-> and I downgraded again. My own system: SuSE12.3 kernel 3.7.10-1.24-desktop-X86_64 gvfs-1.14.2-2.1.2.x86_64 and the same versions for gvfs-backends, gvfs-backend-afc, gvfs-fuse and libgvfscommon0-1.14.2-2.1.2.x86_64 I was about filing a bug report, but as I read along was adviced to try the mailing lists first, thats why I write. Of course you could say I could switch to SuSE13.1 but that's no solution for me. I've got the 12.3 now after some 7 months very well configured with all the resources I want: among the worst builds-configurations was gnuradio but have got some other heavy build as well. -Now the 12.3 version isn't obsolete yet, but do you think the will be a fix for the gvfs-smb-error? Or do you know any way to work around it? (I know I can use Dolphin, but prefer Nautilus and Thunar).
