Version: (using KDE 4.1.0) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Ubuntu Hardy, KDE 4.1 RC1, Dolphin 1.00.99. SMB folders containing a character with an accent (like the french é or à or è) can't be opened using Dolphin. They don't even appear as folder, but as unknown files. Local folders with an accent are working fine (even on NTFS partitions). So apparently, it's specific to SMB shares.
Confirmed on Gentoo KDE 4.x trunk. Fixed.
I can confirm this on Hardy with KDE 4.1 (final) in Dolphin and Konqueror. German "umlaute" aren't displayed correctly - Message "File does not exist" appears when browsing the directory. These folders and files are displayed as files with zero size and can't be deleted. No problems using KDE 3.5.9 on the same machine.
The same here accessing shares with french accented chars like é è à etc. kdebase-runtime-4.1.0-3.fc9.i386
Confirmed for me too. KDE 3.5 or 4.1.1 & SMB 3 on Kubuntu Hardy or XUbuntu Hardy Same problem whatever the file explorer (nautilus, konqueror, dolphin), the shared filesytem (NTFS or ext3), the access method (smbmount or smb:/). Access to KDE3 from KDE4 : problem! (NTFS or ext3 shares) Access to KDE4 from KDE3 : problem! Access to WinXP from KDE3 & 4 : problem! Access to KDE3 & 4 from WinXP : NO problem! It IS specific to Samba.
I can confirm this bug using Kubuntu Intrepid, with kde 4.1.2 and Dolphin 1.1. The kde 3.5.9 works without problems, and the problem is specific to samba. My server is samba 3.0 (Debian)
Confirm for Mandriva 2009.0 Free (KDE 4.1.3). - Configure Samba. - Check access to Windows machine shared folder by smb:/server/resources. - Gnome Nautilus accesses this folder in both cases - whether it contains UTF-8 characters or not. - KDE Dolphin / Konqueror accesses this folder only in case when no UTF-8 characters inside. Otherwise reported something like "protocol smb:/server/resources suddenly closed" in status bar. Can't use KDE to access corporate resources - forced to use Gnome just for this purpose
Created attachment 28872 [details] Screen capture of failing share access
Still present in Kde SVN from 2008/12/03
Correction. It works with KDE SVN: KDE 4.1.82 (KDE 4.2 >= 20081204) It looks like i mis-executed the 4.1 version i have installed by the SVN version. So, it works for me now...
