Public bug reported: In some cases Nautilus adds an additional leading slash to file path which makes some programs fail (libreoffice for example).
Seems to be related to remote files mounted via smbnetfs. When I double click on some file it doesn't open, libreoffice just closes without any message. If I drag some file from nautilus to gnome-terminal I can see that an additional slash is added. for example: this file path: '/home/muzzol/NetSMB/networking/test.odt' is converted to: '//home/muzzol/NetSMB/networking/test.odt' and libreoffice fails to open it. Not shure how nautilus identifies a path as a network path, but it seems that is somehow affecting absolute path formation. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04 $ dpkg -l | grep nautilus ii libnautilus-extension1a 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu3 libraries for nautilus components - runtime version ii nautilus 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu3 file manager and graphical shell for GNOME ii nautilus-data 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu3 data files for nautilus ii nautilus-sendto 3.0.1-2ubuntu2 integrates Evolution and Pidgin into the Nautilus file manager ii nautilus-sendto-empathy 3.4.2.1-0ubuntu1 GNOME multi-protocol chat and call client (nautilus-sendto plugin) ii nautilus-share 0.7.3-1ubuntu2 Nautilus extension to share folder using Samba ** Affects: nautilus (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/1023839 Title: nautilus add additional leading slash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1023839/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
