When I click on the location bar and press enter without changing anything, warning disappears and home folder is shown correctly.
Comment 3 Nikola Kovacs 2015-10-16 10:15:03 UTC 
Yeah, the problem is that it's trying to open file:/home/username. It should be opening file:///home/username.

If you go into Settings->Configure Dolphin... and then in Startup click "Use Default Location" it will reset to your home folder and it will work from then on.

It looks like this is just a setting that's migrated incorrectly from the kde 4 version of dolphin.
Comment 6 Michał 2015-10-19 12:40:05 UTC 
Yup, that fixed it. Thank you.

Git commit 5dd5eaf08da4b7d11e53c90096c2ea0e6a19e840 by Emmanuel Pescosta.
Committed on 21/10/2015 at 11:45.
Pushed by emmanuelp into branch 'Applications/15.08'.

Allow home directories with non-local file paths.

Paths like file:/home/me work now instead of showing
an error message.

This bug has an ugly side-effect: You cannot copy a folder. It will complain about something like: "found a file, where a folder was expected". But it's also fixed by resetting the home folder
