Package: thunar
Version: 1.2.3-4+b1
Severity: wishlist
I'm trying to access a filesystem on a different system using SSH. I
know that thunar supports this, but I can't get it to work or even
extract any meaningful error message. Just to make that clear: I'm not
running XFCE, just thunar inside a fluxbox session!
I've been doing some research, and it seems that thunar requires some
external packages in order to use SSH, but I don't know which and they
are not hard dependencies. In any case, all recommends and suggests are
installed, apart from xfce4-panel. I have also installed gvfs-bin and
gvfs-fuse, but neither helped. I guess that it's just a matter of
documenting these dependencies (README.Debian perhaps?), if these are
the problem at all.
That said, the error messages are not really helpful. If I put
"ssh://192.168.1.2/" into thunar's location field, it just displays a
red icon next to it, without any further error message. If I start it
from a terminal, I get a popup and the same text echoed on the console:
~$ thunar "ssh://192.168.1.2/"
Thunar: Failed to open "ssh://192.168.1.2/": The specified location
is not supported
This is very similar to gvfs:
~$ gvfs-mount -m "ssh://192.168.1.2/"
Error mounting location: The specified location is not supported
I'm confident I could find out what's wrong myself, but I think a user
shouldn't be required to read the sources and search the web in order
to get this to work, hence the wishlist bug.
Greetings from Hamburg!
Uli

Thanks for the confirmation.

The README.Debian already indicates volume management requires Gvfs.

The error message is the same with gvfs-mount so it's a gvfs error. And
I have to admit I don't see the uselessness: it properly indicates the
location is not supported.
