Description david.martin.it 2013-06-07 16:59:40 UTC

Hi, after upgrading to KDE 4.10.4 when I type a network path like "smb://192.168.1.1/somefolder" in the address bar, Dolphin says me "invalid protocol".
I'm sure that the same network path worked well in KDE 4.10.3

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for the bug report, but this is definitely not a Dolphin issue. Dolphin isn't aware of protocols like "smb" and "ftp" at all. It just sends the protocol to a function, which checks if there is a kioslave that can handle the protocol.

From my point of view, it looks like the smb kioslave has been removed by the upgrade. I suggest that you ask in a support forum of your distro why that is that case and how you can fix it.
