Package: gvfs Version: 1.44.1-1 Severity: important Since a recent upgrade to bullseye from stretch, navigating to a remote Samba directory via Nautilus or running "gio mount smb://server/share" no longer creates a mount point in /run/user/1000/gvfs.
I found [1] which may be helpful. There's a glib packaging fix suggested at the end. I tried the suggested workaround [2] to no avail. I didn't find a Debian glib package. The closest I found was glib-networking:amd64, 2.64.1-1. 1. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/50254 2. systemctl --user stop gvfs-daemon I marked this important since my scripts that depend on this directory are broken until the directory is populated, or I read some documentation that points out that the mounts can be found elsewhere. So far, all of the documentation points to /run/user/1000/gvfs or $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs, which is empty. In case it is useful, here are some diagnostics after running [2] and mounting a remote filesystem in nautilus.
