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 Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/867806 Title: df -h permission denied error Status in Light Display Manager: New Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Running "df -h" from the cli as a normal user returns: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md0 37G 6.6G 29G 19% / udev 796M 8.0K 796M 1% /dev tmpfs 322M 888K 321M 1% /run none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock none 805M 92K 805M 1% /run/shm /dev/sda3 1.8T 265G 1.6T 15% /mnt/d1 /dev/sdb3 1.8T 1.7T 102G 95% /mnt/d2 /dev/sdc3 893G 33M 893G 1% /mnt/d3 df: `/var/lib/lightdm/.gvfs': Permission denied $ running with "su" $ sudo df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md0 37G 6.6G 29G 19% / udev 796M 8.0K 796M 1% /dev tmpfs 322M 888K 321M 1% /run none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock none 805M 92K 805M 1% /run/shm /dev/sda3 1.8T 265G 1.6T 15% /mnt/d1 /dev/sdb3 1.8T 1.7T 102G 95% /mnt/d2 /dev/sdc3 893G 33M 893G 1% /mnt/d3 $ ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: bash 4.2-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-10.16-server 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-10-server x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Oct 4 14:17:28 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110426) ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SourcePackage: bash UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-09-05 (29 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/867806/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
