I can confirm this bug. I get exactly the same symptoms described in the second comment.
About ftp urls : gnome-open freezes on them (does'nt do anything but does'nt terminate either), evolution freezes when clicking on an ftp:// links in an email, nautilus can't open ftp folders anymore, etc. I noticed there was no "ftp" item in /desktop/gnome/url-handlers in gconf, this may be related ... All this happens on a feisty systems which was upgraded from edgy. ** Changed in: gnome-vfs2 (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- nautilus in feisty can't open http:// URI which affects service-discovery-applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113092 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
