Public bug reported: I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 13.10 to Ubuntu 14.04 and immediately encountered problems connecting to and accessing files in shares on my local network. Previously I could either navigate to the share I wanted to access or use the "connect to server" option in Nautilus, and I could read and write to all files without any trouble. Now, however, when I make a connection I can sometimes get a directory listing, but any attempt to read files on those shares results in an error, usually along the lines of "software caused connection abort." This happens whether I am attempting to read a JPEG image, an MP3, or a Deja Dup backup. (For some reason, text files do not seem to cause any trouble.)
Several other people seem to be reporting this same problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/450206/how-to-fix-a-software-caused- connection-abort-error-in-ubuntu-14-04 , https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1312362 I have used the latest upstream kernel and have found the same problem. I also tested a fresh copy of Ubuntu 14.04 running on a USB stick and found the same problem, so this bug is not limited to upgrades. I have tried creating a new user account and the problem persists. The only workaround I've been able to find so far has been to edit my /etc/fstab file to create a permanent mount point. This isn't an ideal solution, and I'd much rather be able to use Nautilus's "connect to server" feature. Per Ubuntu bug reporting guidelines, here is information about my system: 1) I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 64 bit version. Release: 14.04. (Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 ) 2) I am using version 1.20.1-1ubuntu1 of gvfs 3) I expected to be able to access files when I used Nautilus (or Files) to connect to an smb share on my home network. 4) Every time I attempted to read a file (images, music, documents) the software I used reported an IO error, an aborted connection, or a corrupted file. ** Affects: gvfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313860 Title: After Ubuntu 14.04 upgrade, I cannot properly access SMB shares mounted by gvfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1313860/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
