Oddly enough, this problem started for me after I mounted a NFS volume using autofs.
Not quite sure how that relates to samba - but it may mean something. In response to David Spoelstra's comment. I meant to follow his direction but accidentally installed samba-common (rather then samba- common-bin). Both packages appear to create /var/cache/samba, which resolves the problem experienced by gvfsd. -- 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/1758653 Title: gvfsd[1366]: mkdir failed on directory /var/cache/samba: Permission denied To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1758653/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
