Error Failed To Stat .gvfs
Home BoardSelect Manual FAQ Application Notes Changes Index List of pages in DULG Search 14.1.3. .gvfs: Permission Denied Question: When trying to install the ELDK, I get error messages like this for each and every package that gets installed: Preparing... ################### 100% 1: rpm... ################### 100% Error: Failed to stat /home/wd/.gvfs: Permission Denied This happens even though I run the installer as root. Answer: Even though flagged as an error, these messages are harmless warnings that can be safely ignored. Before the RPM tool starts to install a package, it checks if there is sufficient space for it in the file system. Unfortunately it is dumb and checks all mounted file systems for space, but the permissions of the ".gvfs" directory (the mount point for the Gnome Virtual File System) do not permit this. Note: Actually the messages are not printed despite the fact that you are running as root, but because you run as root. You have permissions to check the "$HOME/.gvfs" directory, while root gets an error: $ df -h /home/wd/.gvfs Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on gvfs-fuse-daemon 0 0 0 - /home/wd/.gvfs $ sudo df -h /home/wd/.gvfs df: `/home/wd/.gvfs': Permission denied df: no file systems processed 14.1.2.

I get permission denied when I rsync. Why? When I rsync my home directory to a spare hard drive in my system, it immediately comes up with something about gvfs and permission denied. Why? Is that bad? Should I ignore it? Is GVFS a new thing in Hardy? I don't recall it in Gutsy... and I've had the same rsync setup for the last 2-3 years...

Why? so, I'm reading GVFS is new to Hardy. I assume that it's not important that GVFS gets rsynced when I run my script. Should I throw in an exclude tag so I don't get this error? Adv Reply May 13t

I found a solution on the net umount /path/to/.gvfs rm -rf .gvfs but it only fixes problem temporarily. It appears that I have two mounted instances of gvfs in my system $ sudo mount |grep gvfs gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=33) gvfsd-fuse on /home/****/.gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0) I don't know if it's related to, a few months ago I had to change permission in my home folder like sudo chown -R $USER:www-data Would you please help me fix it? EDIT: After I unmount /run/user/1000/gvfs I don't get that error. gnome-terminal gvfs share|improve this question edited Sep 16 '14 at 14:17 asked Sep 16 '14 at 11:23 kenn 1,52421732 1 And that's one of the reasons why you shouldn't run sudo with graphical programs. –muru Sep 16 '14 at 11:24 1 possible duplicate of Why user should never use normal sudo to start graphical application? –muru Sep 16 '14 at 13:00 @muru Thank you for the link, it explains well why I should not run sudo to open graphical applications.
