Can't open SMB shares with Thunar
Status:
RESOLVED: INVALID

Description charlie-tca 2010-02-07 19:26:05 CET
This bug has been reported on Ubuntu Launchpad as:
https://launchpad.net/bugs/473796

From the launchpad report:

Able to map share in Gigolo but not able to launch Thunar from Gigolo.

Behaviour is no apparent response when attempting to open a bookmark.

Making the changes below led to desired behaviour of opening thunar when a bookmark is opened.

The gigolo help note below provides a working solution which should perhaps be included in the gigolo (or thunar?) install? I've provided an extract as well as a link to the full article.
~~~
sudo apt-get install gvfs-fuse fuse-utils
sudo gpasswd -a username fuse

Edit ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list so that Thunar is used to open folders by gvfs-open:

x-directory/gnome-default-handler=Thunar.desktop
inode/directory=Thunar.desktop
x-directory/normal=Thunar.desktop

Comment 1 Enrico Tröger editbugs 2010-02-07 20:02:25 CET
I don't see a bug here.

The documentation says how to get it working (even though there is no need to quote project's documentation in the bug report...you obviously read it, I wrote it...).

Gigolo should not inlude the necessary entries for the defaults.list, neither Thunar should, IMO.

The next Thunar release will work natively with GIO/GVfs, so there is no need for the gvfs-fuse backend anymore. For the meantime, it's in the users' responsibility to setup the system correctly, as described in the documentation.
