Public bug reported: In Ubuntu Hardy Heron, if a new user is created using the System->Administration->Users and Groups dialogue, the gvfs-fuse folder /home/newuser/.gvfs is created.
This folder cannot be accessed by any other user, including the root user. This means the new user's folder cannot be deleted once the user is deleted: Listing folder as root user (for my normal user) outputs as below: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ls -la /home/adpsimpson | grep gvfs ls: cannot access .gvfs: Permission denied ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs Listing for 'mount' given below: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount | grep gvfs gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/adpsimpson/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=adpsimpson) Even after the user is deleted, the entry in 'mount' remains. This makes it hard to completely delete a user from a system. Although there are other bugs relating to gvfs in launchpad, none seem to cover the inability to delete this folder when deleting a user from the system. ** Affects: gvfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- $HOME/.gvfs cannot be deleted after user is deleted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224603 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
