Leveraging off oyvinst's script (comment #14)... I worked around this bug by doing a little bit more:
# Quick and dirty hack to unmount ~/.gvfs directory on logout. if test -d "$HOME/.gvfs" ; then for f in "$HOME/.gvfs" do /bin/fusermount -zu "$HOME/.gvfs/$f" 1>/dev/null 2>&1 || true done /bin/fusermount -zu "$HOME/.gvfs" 1>/dev/null 2>&1 || true rmdir "$HOME/.gvfs" fi ... the script's written from gut-feeling and I didn't actually go through the steps to troubleshoot any bugs in its logic... >_> I applied this for Ubuntu 11.10 ... my quickfix intuition is that the .gvfs folder should be recreated from scratch on session login for the gvfs magic to work, even after doing the initial unmount... If someone could instead point out what command(s) are used to do the magic service's initialization, we might be able to "restart" it within a session instead of cycling through "logout -> login". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212789 Title: gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/212789/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
