If someone is logged into the desktop, gvfs mounts in there home dir, and df works if you ssh login as another user and do a df. The problem I am seeing is when no one is logged in and /var/lib/lightdm/.gvfs is mounted. For example:
No one logged into the desktop: $ df df: `/var/lib/lightdm/.gvfs': Permission denied Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/sdavg-root 9733688 3411164 5834284 37% / udev 495080 4 495076 1% /dev tmpfs 201656 808 200848 1% /run none 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock none 504140 152 503988 1% /run/shm /dev/mapper/sdavg-backup 19932248 425728 18506688 3% /backup /dev/sda1 188403 30626 148049 18% /boot The mount command shows the mount: $ mount | grep gvfs gvfs-fuse-daemon on /var/lib/lightdm/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=lightdm) If another users is logged into the system mount shows: mount | grep gvfs gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/sopkol/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=sopkol) and df works: $ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/sdavg-root 9733688 3411196 5834252 37% / udev 495080 4 495076 1% /dev tmpfs 201656 808 200848 1% /run none 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock none 504140 152 503988 1% /run/shm /dev/mapper/sdavg-backup 19932248 425728 18506688 3% /backup /dev/sda1 188403 30626 148049 18% /boot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/867806 Title: df -h permission denied error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/867806/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
