You're right, gvfs-fuse does not work with NFS homes right now, at least not with root-squashing enabled. UID 0 needs to get access to ~/.gvfs for mounting, which fails in this case. Unfortunately, the path for .gvfs cannot be easily changed.
I have posted a new bug against gvfs for this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/435719). As a temporary workaround, it is possible to symlink ~/.gvfs to /tmp/.gvfs. I still wonder why it works with the vanilla packages, though. Does "vanilla" support native GIO/GVFS? I tried yesterday with the latest karmic packages, because the Changelog mentioned something about gvfs fuse, but it did not work either. -- Files on gvfs mounts cannot be opened when home is on NFS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433944 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
