Problems with dolphin and webdav

[Frank62]

Hello everyone.
After upgrading Plasma KDE to version 6, Dolphin ( dolphin v.24.05.0 - KDE v.6.0.5) has the following problem: wanting to access a Webdav resource from dolphin , as I always did, once I provide all the credentials, dolphin is able to get into the root folder of the resource, but when I try to access the subfolders, it prevents me from doing so by giving me the following error:

The file or folder webdavs://uxxxxxx.your-storagebox.de:443/MyFolder does not exist.

“”

I point out that , working ALSO with a Virtualbox machine with Sparky linux 12 , KDE 5.27.10, dolphin 23.08.1, accessing the same webdav resource with the same login procedure, the problem does not occur.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Hi @Frank62,

While this doesn’t perhaps answer your question directly, it could offer a solution to your problem.

See if you can access/mount/use the resource manually:

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ Disk device recognition Manjaro uses udev (see Arch Wiki) to load devices at boot time. The loading of devices is arbitrary and therefore you cannot predict which device will be available at a given path. But static device names do exist and you can assign specific locations to your device and thus ensure e.g. scripts will work as expected.

… I have the same issue since KDE 6.

My solution was using thunar for webdav instead of dolphin, which is working perfect.

With my method it’ll work on both, as far as I’m aware.

I have the weird problem after upgrading a few days ago, that none of the Webdav clients work anymore. I’ve tried Thunar (my standard), Nautilus and Dolphin.
The Webdav resource is avasilable, i’ve tested that with 3rd party systems.

Any ideas?

Edit:

For @Frank62, this might help. See:

Webdav client stopped working in Thunar/Dolphin/Nautilus under XFCE

I’m under x86_64 DISTRIB_RELEASE=“24.0.1” DISTRIB_CODENAME=“Wynsdey” XFCE After updating a few days ago, the Webdav client functionality stopped working. Under e…g Thunar, i had something like: davs://www.example.org/mysubdir. Now, it shows a red exclamaton mark before “davs”. But when i enter e.g. “network” or “smb”, there is no red exclamation. So somehow this protocol got lost for Thunar and the other file managers. Some lib or config corrupt ? How can i debug this? The Webdav serv…

(Although I will maintain that my method is better, but whatever works for you.)

TL;DR:

Install gvfs-dnssd:

pamac install gvfs-dnssd
