Gvfs-mount does not work with FTP anymore

Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 gvfs-mount does not work with FTP anymore. Trying to connect to a FTP-server using Nautilus or

  gvfs-mount "ftp://[email protected]/"

I get the following error message:

  Error mounting location: Error resolving '': No address associated with hostname

Connecting via SSH or other protocols works well. The problem occurs only with my current user. That means it can't be an issue with the FTP-Server. So I tried to delete all gvfs config files with:

  sudo apt-get purge gvfs

and after that reinstalled it. But this did not change anything.
What else could I do? Please help.

The problem results from wrong configuration of system wide proxy. If you have the same problem you can try following commands, that will reset your proxy settings to default:

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy autoconfig-url ''

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy ignore-hosts ['localhost', '127.0.0.0/8']

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'none'

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy use-same-proxy false

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.ftp host ''

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.ftp port 0

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http authentication-password ''

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http authentication-user ''

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http enabled false

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http host ''

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http port 8080

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http use-authentication false

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.https host ''

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.https port 0

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.socks host ''

gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.socks port 0
