Oh Ubuntu Devs! Harken to my appeal! Have mercy! Please include gvfs 1.9.4 in Oneiric!
I feel that including this fix will deliver lots of "bang for the buck," because it will kill two birds with one stone, and thereby avoid these two "embarrassments": 1) Ubuntu not having any working graphical FTP client in it's default install (that I'm aware of), which many might find appalling and frustrating 2) If people try the obvious workaround of installing Thunar to get a working graphical FTP client (which seems to me a logical second choice, because Thunar can honour many of the same "Bookmarks" as in Nautilus), then they'll quickly and easily fall into Ubuntu Bug 751374 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/exo/+bug/751374), whereby they can't even open files in their Dash any more (nor from Firefox's "Downloads" window)! Although a fix for that bug is proposed (yet not yet included in Oneiric either), once one falls prey to that bug, it's is a relatively nasty and tedious problem to get out of (granted they even find their way to the bug report where a manual fix is detailed) just to get the Dash and Firefox to properly open files again. In summary, I feel this bug should have a higher priority, because people might easily fall into Bug 751374 because of this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574693 Title: nautilus ftp file transfer hangs in lucid Status in Nautilus: Fix Released Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus 1) Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04 Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 2) nautilus version: 1:2.30.0-0ubuntu4; 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13 gvfs version: 1.8.0-0ubuntu2 3) I tried to copy a directory with files from a server to my PC via FTP. I expected finishing the transfer. 4) The file transfer window appears and after a few percent of progress, it stops copying. I can not close the window, because when I click the cancel button, it goes to gray and nothing happens after that, so I have to kill the nautilus process. When I had tried to copy the same directory again, it stopped at the same percent of progress. Copying the same directory in nautilus via SFTP works flawlessly. Also copying that directory by gFTP works without problem. I did not see any error messages or entries in syslog related to this problem.
