I've found a fix! if I go to Accessories->Passwords and encryption keys and find the entry for "hmelj" (my windows 2008 server) under Passwords->default and delete that then Nautilus will prompt me for user name and password for the server once again (Guest) and let me in, everything works ok. This, however, lasts only for the duration of the session. If I restart the ubuntu machine and go back to nautilus the problem comes back. Well, it's good enough as it is but I suspect some new users will not catch this.
So basically, you must NOT have nautilus remember your user name (and password) for windows shares! -- Unable to mount location - Windows/SMB share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463267 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
