Description Otso Helenius 2011-08-22 20:48:02 UTC

Version:           1.6.1 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

I right clicked the places-panel in Dolphin and selected Add entry, entered location as smb:myserver (a Samba server). When opening the new entry, Dolphin reports:

"Internal error
Please send a full bug report at http://bugs.kde.org
Unknown error condition in stat: Unknown error 8216"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Described above


Expected Results:  
I would expect being able to open the entry.

Same problem here: KDE 4.11.5 (Kubuntu 13.10)

Comment 4 Jean Revertera 2014-03-24 16:51:24 UTC

got it...

It works when I use slashes instead of backslashes.

I'm not sure if it is a matter of misinterpretation of backslashes, or if the error is simply related to the fact that no service could be found.

In all cases, backslashes should be supported just like smbclient does...

Slashes are used on POSIX systems. Keep the backslashes in the Windows world! :)

Also, the correct syntax for a Samba URL is: "smb://user@share/optional/path/to/file"
