[Bug 212789] Re: gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login
I'd like to confirm sighting of the .gvfs "Transport endpoint is not connected" bug in Xubuntu 11.10 Oneiric. The problem is as described in the post from 2008-06-20 in this thread: Thunar won't show the contents of /home/ubuntu, due to the issue with .gvfs . And ls -la of /home/ubuntu shows broken permissions for .gvfs : d? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs Additionally, I see the same broken permissions on /etc/mtab and ~/.bash_history . I can "fix" the broken permissions on ~/.gvfs with "umount .gvfs". But, due to the corruption related to .bash_history , Thunar still will not display the contents of $HOME. It fails with: Error stating file '/home/ubuntu/.bash_history': Input/output error. Corruption in mtab prevents Thunar from displaying the contents of /etc : "Error stating file '/etc/mtab': Input/output error." On the command line, a simple attempt to see what's in mtab with "sudo cat /etc/mtab" results in: cat: /etc/mtab: Input/output error Now, I'm far from an expert in these matters. But I suspect that losing I/O access to mtab, even for root, is not a good or desirable feature. I'm running a more or less out-of-the-"box" Xubuntu Live install from a USB drive. This is a stock Oneiric install, as installed to an 8GB Kingston DataTraveler drive by Universal USB Installer, with 2GB persistence file. It's running on an Asus branded Intel Atom eeePC netbook. The workaround from this thread (posted originally on 2008-04-27 and re-visited more recently on 2011-11-07) has been reposted various places around the 'net: fusermount -zu ~/.gvfs from eg., http://razcx.wordpress.com/2011/11/03/cannot-access-gvfs-transport-endpoint-is-not-connected/ and http://r3dux.org/2011/08/how-to-workaround-gvfs-transport-endpoint-is-not-connected-errors/ But this doesn't address whatever the underlying problem is with GVFS. It appears that this has been a known bug in GVFS since early 2008, when this thread was opened, and an identical bug was reported in the Fedora 9 forums: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452304 ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #452304 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452304 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212789 Title: gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/212789/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 212789] Re: gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login
Leveraging off oyvinst's script (comment #14)... I worked around this bug by doing a little bit more: # Quick and dirty hack to unmount ~/.gvfs directory on logout. if test -d "$HOME/.gvfs" ; then for f in "$HOME/.gvfs" do /bin/fusermount -zu "$HOME/.gvfs/$f" 1>/dev/null 2>&1 || true done /bin/fusermount -zu "$HOME/.gvfs" 1>/dev/null 2>&1 || true rmdir "$HOME/.gvfs" fi ... the script's written from gut-feeling and I didn't actually go through the steps to troubleshoot any bugs in its logic... >_> I applied this for Ubuntu 11.10 ... my quickfix intuition is that the .gvfs folder should be recreated from scratch on session login for the gvfs magic to work, even after doing the initial unmount... If someone could instead point out what command(s) are used to do the magic service's initialization, we might be able to "restart" it within a session instead of cycling through "logout -> login". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212789 Title: gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/212789/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I’m seeing this issue in Natty.
It is a fresh install, my home directory is encrypted and it has
annoying consequences, such as Déjà-Dup failing to backup my home
directory because of ~/.gvfs ("Transport endpoint is not connected").
And since the .gvfs folder cannot be browsed to, I can’t even add it to
the list of excluded directories in Déjà-Dup (I figured out how to work
around this by manually editing the corresponding GConf key though).
osomon@granuja:~$ LANG=C cd .gvfs
bash: cd: .gvfs: Transport endpoint is not connected
osomon@granuja:~$ mount | grep gvfs
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/osomon/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon
(rw,nosuid,nodev,user=osomon)
Should I re-open this bug, or should I file a new one?

Re: [Bug 212789] Re: gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login
i'm sorry, i completely disagree. user-space tools should not be polluting the rest of the system. having a directory, like /tmp, that is writable by everyone is not the same thing as having a directory that is owned by some specific user. not to mention, i may have my home folder permissions set so that i'm the only one that can read files. if i mount some share with fuse, i'm expecting it to be just as protected as any of my other files, whereas if it were in something like /media, it would likely not be. the reason why the file system hierarchy is so nice is because i know (as the one who has root access to a particular machine) that all files related to a particular user are going to be in that user's home folder (as defined in /etc/passwd), instead of spread out all over the system. -- gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212789 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
[Bug 212789] Re: gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login
Hm, I'm not so sure that mounting user-space volumes outside of the home folder is a no-no - if there's a folder for that purpose, I think it should be used to mount also the .gvfs stuff (just as it is used now to mount USB drives and so on). There are some folders outside the home that are writeable for non-root users (such as /tmp) right now. So why not mount everything in /media? Second, it seems to me that all non-Gnome applications would benefit from this. Since not even all Gnome apps can handle it now (gedit), this would be really helpful. My second example went unheard - OpenOffice.org. It's strange that emacs supports gvfs, probably a Gnome GUI version?

Re: [Bug 212789] Re: gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login
i could go into a rant about capitalization and whitespace in system paths, but i'll save that for another day. there is already a directory for system level mountpoints. it's called /mnt. the ubuntu equivalent to mac's /Volumes appears to be /media. i'm not exactly clear on what the difference is, other than gnome/nautilus sees one and not the other. we've already established that mounting user-space volumes outside of the home folder is a no-no. exposing the mount points as a visible directory in the home directory does not exactly follow with the gnome standard. it doesn't exactly fit with what I, personally, would want, but if you were following gnome's lead, it would have the volumes visible on the desktop (similar to other mounted volumes), which could be turned on/off via gconf editor (/apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible). this whole business about whether or not to create a symlink to ~/.gvfs seems pretty pointless. If you want the link, create it.. if not, don't. also, i don't mean to be a party pooper, but does any of this discussion have anything to do with the big hairy wart of a bug that this thread is supposed to be about. if you ask me, this bug is more detrimental to the user experience than whether or not we can see the volumes in our home folder. -- gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212789 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

I agree that it should just work without ever needing to know how, but because of examples like those already given by myself and ma2414ma, not all applications are using gvfs (and some, like VLC don't play nice with it) yet, and it could be quite some time (or never) before they do. Providing a visible location for the mount points provides a workaround for the problems that currently exists. But even if those problems all got addressed, you'd still need the mount points in order to use the terminal with connected shares.

ma2414ma said it better than I probably could. I even have problems opening files in gedit for editing using gvfs via FTP. It tries to load them, then just stops and leaves you with a blank window. Another directory in the home directory may not be the best way to do it, but neither is a hidden folder in the home directory.

VLC is a widely used application and even though this may be their problem, don't count on them to fix it because they still haven't fixed a simple gui bug reported 5 years ago. But I'm not singling out VLC here, there are other applications I have come across that have the same behavior when it comes to gnomevfs/gvfs. The Gnome dialog simply won't let you select the shares. You have to manually navigate to their mount points. This in itself is frustrating enough, but having to right-click, show hidden files, and find .gvfs in my home folder (which I personally don't have for some reason) every single time you want to open a file with a non-gnome application is just plain stupid.

Re: [Bug 212789] Re: gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login
I think that ~/.gvfs is an appropriate location for fuse mounts. If you want them to be more visible, then do: ln -s .gvfs Volumes. To have gvfs create a real directory called "Volumes" in the home folder doesn't seem like the "right" thing to do. To have it mount them in /Volumes is definitely not the right thing to do. It violates the linux filesystem hierarchy standard, which, i hope, is still followed. Linux is not OSX, thankfully. Also, being that it's a user-space tool, it only belongs in the home folder.

Try opening a file located on a gvfs mount using VLC or some other non- gnome application, and you'll see why. Even though the applications may use the Gnome file dialog, the dialog itself sometimes hides connected shares, depending on the application. VLC is one example of such an application. They only way to access media on a remote share is to connect to the share using the mount command. Another use case for visible, and easy to find mount points: What if I need to access an something on a remote share via a command line application? The only way to get to those shares from the terminal is to find the mount points. Also, I noticed something interesting...I don't even have a ~/.gvfs folder, even though I have gvfs-fuse installed and shares connected. ma2412ma: Though it would be nice to have a /Volumes at the root of the filesystem, gvfs-fuse is a userspace file system, meaning that once you log out, those shares are disconnected.

In Hardy Beta, you had to manually install it. I was not aware they had included it by default in the official release, but I am very glad they did. The only other real complaint (besides stability) that I have with it is the location of the shares. I really think they should be somewhere more visible, contained in a folder with a more meaningful name (e.g. ~/Volumes). Like everyone else, I am also experiencing this bug. However, I actually have all my important stuff mounted using the /etc/fstab file. People tell me it's archaic to mount SMB shares using fstab, but it's the only reliable way to mount shares. I know they are thinking about phasing out the fstab file, but they really need to get gvfs reliable and matured before they do.

"transport endpoint is not connected". is there anything that i can disable to get this to go away? i don't use windows shares. i ended up creating a shell script called "gnome-session" in my bin folder that unmounts the folder first, then runs the real gnome-session. my xinitrc runs this wrapper script instead, which seems to fix this. the advantage being that it works with any display manager and with nomachine. -- gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212789 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

[Bug 212789] Re: gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login
However, the latest update doesn't fix the logout/login problem. So this bug cannot be closed as a result. I guess ~/.gvfs isn't properly unmounted on logout, so gvfs-fuse-daemon refuses to start on subsequent login.

I am unable to reproduce the crash using the latest gvfs update from hardy-proposed ((0.2.3-0ubuntu5). Opening files under ~/.gvfs with Firefox works fine and no crash occurs in gvfs-fuse-daemon. So this: * debian/patches/94_from_svn_fix_referencing_issues.patch: - change from SVN, fix referencing issues leading to gvfsfuse crashes (lp: #211205) seems to have fixed it, thanks :).

I have hardy-proposed enabled, but haven't received the updated gvfs package yet (still at verison 0.2.3-0ubuntu4 from main/release).

I'd like to add that the .gvfs mount point functionality sometimes (or rather often) just breaks without reason (with transpoint endpoint not connected error), even though no logout/login has been done.

Confirming that a work-around is to manually unmount the ~/.gvfs using: $ fusermount -u ~/.gvfs Then close/unmount all opened remote locations in Nautilus and log out and back in, again.
