Same problem on one of 4 Notebooks after upgrade from 15.04 to 15.10. Killing the gvfsd process(es) did work ... until next reboot.

I have just upgraded to 15.4 and found that gvfsd-fuse does not seem to be creating the mount points for gvfs-mount. I have found a work round for this problem that seem to indicate that at startup there is a problem with gvfsd.. Here is some more information. I have a mounted file system that appear in nautilus when I log into the system. $ cat .config/autostart/gvfs-mount.desktop [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Exec=gvfs-mount smb://homevista/Q Hidden=false NoDisplay=false X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true Name[en_GB]=Mount Q Name=Mount Q Comment[en_GB]= Comment= $ gvfs-mount -l Drive(0): WDC WD1001FAES-75W7A0 Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2) Drive(1): PLDS DVDRW/BDROM DH-6E2S Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2) Drive(2): Generic- SD/MMC Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2) Drive(3): Generic- Compact Flash Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2) Drive(4): Generic- SM/xD-Picture Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2) Drive(5): Generic- MS/MS-Pro Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2) Mount(0): q on homevista -> smb://homevista/q/ Type: GDaemonMount But there is no mount point $ ls -als /run/user/1000/gvfs total 0 0 dr-x------ 2 pas pas 0 May 2 20:38 . 0 drwx------ 10 pas pas 280 May 2 20:39 ..
