Same problem for me, and also affects playing flac/mp3 off a windows share with Audacious. Usually I can kill the task, but it stays around zombified. Started after the upgrade from 12.04 -> 12.10. -- 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/1077696 Title: mounted samba share stops working for file access Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 12.10 - same problem when acessing SMB shares from two computers same for shares both on Ubuntu 12.10 server, and a windows server. Reproduce; it helps if you play a video/movie using vlc or mplayer from share. the file should be open for hours. (use pause) - when unpaused, the file will play fine. -no new big files on that share will open, small files may work. unmounting + remounting the SMB share may fixe the problem, but other processes may be affected: VLC - while stuck with such samba problem, is impossible to kill, same for smplayer sudo killall vlc -s KILL .. will not kill it. and so unmounting the share takes >10 attempts..
