I'm experiencing a similar problem. I did a clean install of 8.04 (32 bit, alternate installer) without overwriting my /home. After the install, I created a user and changed ownership of the old /home/thomas, but when I was about to remove parts of my settings files i encountered permission denied for .gvfs
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/thomas# whoami root [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/thomas# ls .gvfs ls: cannot access .gvfs: Permission denied "ls -la ~thomas" shows the following on the row for the .gvfs directory d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs -- Superuser cannot access ~/.gvfs folder when mounted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225361 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
