I'm very confused now: after having installed the latest 3.8.0.11 kernel, and rebooted, that .gvfs file is now gone. So you seems right about a "leftover" pushed by the previous 3.8.0.10 kernel (i might say that file had not catched my attention before, probably due to its inexistance).
Have tried to find something wrong logged, but nothing i can see. But /run/user/user/gvfs/ folder is empty: is it normal ? does its working like a tmp folder ? So you probably can set that report as invalid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1148823 Title: /home/user/.gvfs unreadable Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Genuine standard RR i386 installation, logged as gnome-classic (fallback) Into /home/user/.gvfs , when i check that file properties, i get: - Basic tab : Content unreadable, Volume unknown - Permissions tab : The permissions of ".gvfs" could not be determined.
