Weird that you didn't have gvfs-backends installed, it should be there on a default installation. How did you install your system?
The new issue seems worth debugging, it's fine to repurpose the bug here, maybe ask upstream what they prefer on gitlab though? The error is similar to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2090 so maybe reusing that one makes sense -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872286 Title: gio - cifs mount smb not possible "Location is not mountable" Status in GLib: Unknown Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: 1) Release $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch) Release: 20.04 2) Package $ apt-cache policy libglib2.0-bin libglib2.0-bin: Installed: 2.64.1-1 Candidate: 2.64.1-1 Version table: *** 2.64.1-1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) Expected to happen The path should be mounted at /run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=192.168.178.1,share=PathName/ 4) What happened instead: Error Message: gio: smb://192.168.178.1/PathName/: Location is not mountable 5) Long description / explanation Since some years, I mount a Windows drive with gio mount smb://192.168.178.1/PathName After upgrading from 19.04 to 20.04 beta, this does not work any more, I get the error message gio: smb://192.168.178.1/PathName/: Location is not mountable ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: libglib2.0-bin 2.64.1-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-21.25-generic 5.4.27 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-21-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu26 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Sun Apr 12 12:43:53 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-02-17 (420 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish" - Release amd64 (20181017.3) SourcePackage: glib2.0 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to focal on 2020-04-05 (7 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/glib/+bug/1872286/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
