I just came across this bug when debugging OOo on SMB shares. Therefore i enhanced the proposed workaround by Timo so that the quirk only gets executed if $HOME is really on a NFS share. Tested it successfully on an old karmic machine and the current lucid workstations. Just see the attachment. Comments highly welcome.
Of course a proper solution would be a NFS mode in GVFS, but as this requires probably requires a lot of changes to GVFS this is no real solution for a backport. Therefore would we could include this script in the gvfs packages as SRU, as it only gets active on NFS setups. ** Attachment added: "51gvfs-fuse-on-nfs" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/435719/+attachment/2176974/+files/51gvfs-fuse-on-nfs -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435719 Title: gvfs-fuse fails to start on NFS mounted homes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/435719/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
