|
|
Hello.
I am trying to make this work so that I can access to windows/samba/cifs shares, and failing misserably at it
After launching my openbox session with dbus-launch and consolekit, I have gotten to the point where I can at least click the network icon, and I am presented with a list of shares. However, when trying to access one of them I am presented with a modal window telling me that the the specific location is not mounted (of course it is not, then I wouldn't be doing this ).
The trash works ok, and the rest of the virtual filesystems seem to work (I haven't tried too deep though) except for the apps menu (that segfaults, but I think it's a different issue).
I have checked ~/.gvfs/, it exists, and all the gvfs-* daemons are listed in htop. The "mount" command lists the fuse fs as mounted rm, but ls -ld ~/.gvfs list the fs as 500 (so, it lacks write permissions, dunno if that's important...). There's nothing (no dirs, no nothing) inside ~/.gvfs.
Any ideas? |

This may be a silly question, but did you launch pcmanfm with dbus-launch? |

I just launch openbox with
Code: | ck-launch-session dbus-launch ${WM} |
in my ~/.xinitrc
The problem however seems to be with the gvfs backend or something (a lot of people seems to have had/be having problems with that stuff, go figure why the hell they changed a thing that worked without any problems... But, back to the issue, what I did is to downgrade pcmanfm to stable, which works ok without problems with udev. Or so it seems for now...
I guess this is just another case of "if it ain't broke don't fix it" (tm). |

I remember I struggled to view my samba shares with pcmanfm about 6-7 weeks ago, and I had all the related gvfs, etc. packages installed. Finally, after a lot of googling, I got it to work by launching pcmanfm with this command
Code: | $ dbus-launch pcmanfm |

I'll keep it in mind for the time portage forces me to upgrade. For now I'll just stick to the old version, which works ok and does the same without needing +20 additional packages to do the job
Thanks for the pointer Bookmarking! |

For some reason I gave this a new try, but it doesn't work either.
The network locations section itself works, and a list of nodes are displayed. However double clicking any of these gives me a message saying that "The specified location is not mounted".
It's surely something related to gvfs, as I 've also seens similar errors in thunar and other fms in the past. |

File a bug, man: you have a perfect testcase. |
