Bug#447545: Fails to connect to SMB share
Package: kdebase-kio-plugins
Version: 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal
If I go to smb://localhost/ as user chealer, I see two shares, as expected,
one of them "homes".
If I click on it, konqueror displays an error popup "The file or folder
smb://localhost/homes does not exist."
Setting the default username to chealer and the default password to my Unix
password in kcmshell lanbrowser works around the problem.
Expected behaviour:
If the assumption is right but fails, provide an appropriate error message,
or prompt for real credentials.
If the assumption is wrong, prompt for real credentials before trying.
A similar problem happens in nautilus. According to Stephan Kulow, this is a
libsmbclient bug.
