oddly enough it depends on how one accesses the remote files. opening and modifying a text file with xed work on direct access (through /run/user ....) through the symbolic link, I can read it but attempt to save after modifications will fail
Could not save the file xxxx xed cannot handle file: locations in write mode. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again. other text editors will fail differently, leafpad truncates the file to 0 bytes! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to colord in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1612708 Title: Symbolic Link does not work in 16.04 LTS as in 14.04 LTS Status in colord package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS colord: Installiert: 1.2.12-1ubuntu1 Installationskandidat: 1.2.12-1ubuntu1 Versionstabelle: *** 1.2.12-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS I have created NAS access by using 'gvfs-mount smb://nasdo/public'. It is linked to '/run/user/1000/gvfs/ als smb- share:server=nasdo,share=public' and I have created a Symbolic Link to this point with 'ln -s /run/user/1000/gvfs/smb- share\:server\=nasdo\,share\=public ~/nasdo_public'. Using this link folders, and files on the NAS have been accessable with r/w from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. This is, what I expect from 16.04, too. Since I have upgraded to ubuntu 16.04 LTS a few days ago, all the links seem to be the same, but opening a file does not work. It comes to an input/output error. I can use the links to folders to navigate, but there is no chance to open e.g. an LibreOffice Calc Sheet, nor do I have access to mail folder via Thunderbird. Using gvfs-mount creates a shared folder in Nautilus called public. Using this way to access the NAS, and open the Calc file works with ubuntu 16.04 LTS fine. Locking to the syslog while trying to open a file creates the following entries: Aug 12 16:47:19 UDO systemd[1]: Started Hostname Service.
