Well, you should not remove all of gvfs, but the gvfs-fuse package. That can be done using the "sudo apt-get remove gvfs-fuse" command or using the "Synaptic" package manager. After that I created an entry in the file /etc/fstab - there is a lot of documentation around- I'll recommend the "arch wiki" (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba#Automatic_Mounting)
After mounting (without sudo!) my shares like "mount /home/YOUR_USER_NAME/AFOLDER" the samba share could be accessed via the defined folder. To my surprise nemo (yes I'm using Linux Mint after years of Ubuntu...) remembered those mount points by displaying the in the bookmarks panel. So I have simply to click it and my share is mounted. If you remove all of gvfs, you won't even see on your desktop whats mounted- if you insert an usb stick, you would have to mount it yourself.... So removing "gvfs-fuse" , installing "cifs-utils" and altering the /etc/fstab file turned out to be a very elegant solution. I am tempted to check if there are further alternatives to all the gvfs packages.... Removing gvfs-backends for example made Thunar (on my xubuntu machine) very fast on startup.. but the price is that you don't have any "mount" icons... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1075923 Title: nautilus hangs copying large directories from a samba share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1075923/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
