[Bug 1361846] Re: nautilus stops reacting when sftp connection gets interrupted

 

Found a workaround:

1.) open a terminal
2.) run gvfs-mount -u sftp://<insert hostname here>/
3.) gvfs-sftp will crash
4.) all sftp connections are dropped and nautilus will no longer refuse to start
5.) you can now reconnect to your sftp server

Title:
  nautilus stops reacting when sftp connection gets interrupted

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce the error:
  - connect to LAN
  - open a nautilus window
  - connect to an sftp server (select directly forget password)
  - browse the directory
  - disconnect LAN
  - connect WLAN (same router)
  -> that means network is still connected but the sftp connection is now interrupted
  - double click a folder from the sftp server

  What should happen:
  - nautilus should open the sftp folder, re-connecting to the server, or at least show an error message that the connection got interrupted

  What happens instead:
  - nautilus does nothing, waiting forever for the server to respond
  - all other folders can be accessed
  - after closing the last nautilus window nautilus will not start any more until you logout and login again
