So, *is* anybody working on it right now? Is KDE finally able to transparently mount SMB (or FTP or whatever) file systems so *all* apps can transparently access them? I just tried a fresh Kubuntu 15.10 install, no modifications at all except I added VLC. I tried to play back a 4GB MP4 video I have on our NAS drive. This is the situation:
Dragon player (the default in KDE5) starts *downloading* the file before it can play it. Not acceptable! VLC (which I added) refuses to play the file in the first place, claiming it cannot access "smb:/user@workstation/whatever/file.mp4". Not acceptable! KDE5 is really a nice desktop, but with defaults such as these it is absolutely impossible to give this to a new user and make them happy with it. Especially because other desktops don't seem to have this problem. I switched a few PCs back to LXDE and/or Unity (ubuntu) for this single reason. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/730984 Title: Kubuntu - Mount SAMBA shares when Dolphin access them via CIFS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-kde4-meta/+bug/730984/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
