Yes this bug is reproducible, which I had attempted to make that clear in the original bug report. The following is more explicit.
This bug occurs when Ubuntu is being run live from an i386 distribution CD: 7.10, 8.04, 8.04.2, 8.10, or 9.04 beta - the kind one burns from the isos available here: http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download To reproduce this bug, you will also need the following: -An i386-type vanilla box with an optical drive and an ethernet port, fully capable of running the Ubuntu distribution CD referenced above. -A vanilla router - I use a Linksys WRT54G. My router is also connected to the internet through PPPoE to a DSL modem. -An Iomega "Home Network Hard Drive" (MDHD500-N), running firmware K108.W15. Iomega advertises this as supporting Debian 3.0. Have the Gnome developers written code which is not backwards compatible with this hardware? -Two ethernet cables. Connect your vanilla i386 computer and Iomega NAS to the router, each with its own ethernet cable. Feel free to hard-reset the Iomega NAS, to remove any configuration questions. Reboot the computer using the live Ubuntu disk - be sure the optical drive has a high priority in the BIOS boot order. Attempt to browse to the "PUBLIC" share of the Iomega NAS using Nautilus; you won't find it. However, "findsmb" and "smbclient -L 192.168.1.xxx" do find it. There's your bug. A computer running Windows Explorer in Windows XP would find the Iomega share(s). Further experimentation will show that the Iomega drive effectively shileds itself and all other SAMBA shares on the network from Nautilus browsing. The full configuration of the Iomega NAS is not available to the end user, but that would actually be the typical situation for most end users on networks. Nautilus browsing of the network apparently yields a stream of similar bugs. I contend that I have outlined a simple experiment that is universally reproducible by Gnome maintainers, an experiment that should solve many bugs in that stream. -- Nautilus fails to browse any share on network to which Iomega Home Network Hard Drive (MDHD500-N, firmware K108.W15) is attached. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354243 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
