Version: (using KDE 4.1.2) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs I add a network folder (Windows network disk) via Knetattach from server with IP address 192.168.1.252 and name 'Pablic' After that, I tried to open this folder in Dolphin and got an error message in status panel: 'The process for the smb://192.168.1.252 protocol died unexpectedly' There is no any items displayed, of course. Then I mounted this share with 'mount.smbfs' command linux-042u:~ # mount.cifs //192.168.1.252/Pablic /mnt/cifs -o user=admin dom=MYDOMAIN Password: linux-042u:~ # ls -l /mnt/cifs total 86840 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Sep 12 16:01 !SYS drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 10 10:46 NWT -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 88920843 May 8 10:02 Управленческий учет.zip drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Sep 26 14:05 общее linux-042u:~ # This share contain file and folder with non-Latin (cyrillic) names (If you can see). If I mount share with Latin names only, Dolphin browse it deeply until any non-Latin symbol in folder or file name appear at some level.

I can confirm this annoying bug on KDE 4.1.3 on OpenSUSE 11.0. When I've got some files with Polish characters in folder I got message "The process for the smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx protocol died unexpectedly" from Dolphin and Konqueror for KDE4. Everything goes fine with Konqueror for KDE3.
There's a workaround: Since windows convert everything in NTFS to UTF-16, and it seems that KDE4 can't handle UTF-8 or UTF-16 (Even when a you connect to a Samba server configured for UTF-8) you can specify in the command line of mount command the charset used: mount.cifs //192.168.1.252/Pablic /mnt/cifs -o iocharset=utf-16,user=admin dom=MYDOMAIN If for some reason UTF-16 is unavailable to you, try UTF-8. Providing that you have cyriliic fonts installed in the system you should browse them from dolphin and all should be ok. Another workaround is to use fuse, it can do a better work than kde4/whatever. Of course a better workaround is to drop KDE4 entirely, but that's another story. :) Regards. J.
J, look at the comment#1. Your "workaround" was there. If we use console 'mount.cifs' command, Dolphin can browse already mounted share without any issues. But shares, what added with Knetattach to Places/Network cannot be browsed so well.
Sorry for typo in prev. post. Read "comment#0" instead "comment#1"
Maybe for cyrillic is not really necesary... for my language (spanish... accented characters) is necesary to add the iocharset option... otherwise dolphin will have problems. This is also seen in other languages, most notably asian ones (japanese, chinesse, etc). J.
Could this be a dup of bug #158639?
Or, better, it depends on bug #158639
Any news on this. Bug 158639 is now fixed? Can anyone else still reproduce this ? Thanks
Seems to be fixed in KDE4.2.1 "release 103" (OpenSUSE 11.0 RPMS)
