i was very excited to add this and that is why i posted sort of half baked solution hoping that you can figure out the rest. to be fair I have to add the complete (working oob solution) rather than just variable evaluation.
1) the existing mount point needs to be disconnected. because it is session based you want to add unmount line to Default gdm PostSession and below is one of the ways to do accomplish it: cat << EOF | sudo tee /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default >/dev/null #!/bin/sh /bin/fusermount -zu "$HOME/.gvfs" 1>/dev/null 2>&1 || true exit 0 EOF 2) create ~/bin directory (mkdir ~/bin), add this directory to search path in /etc/environment so it looks roughly like this: PATH=/home/<username>/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/<username>/.local/bin 3) .bashrc gets the following entry $HOME/bin/gvfs-daemon-start 4) make gvfs-daemon-start executable and the script roughly it looks like this: #!/bin/bash MNT=.gvfs PIDOF=`pidof gvfs-fuse-daemon` RETVAL=$? if [ "$RETVAL" -eq 1 ]; then # echo "Mounting $MNT" log_daemon_msg "Mouting $MNT" /usr/lib/gvfs//gvfs-fuse-daemon ~/$MNT log_end_msg 0 else echo "you be fortune." fi 5)log off the session, log back in and make necessary adjustments if you feel like it. cheers -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890647 Title: .gvfs: Transport endpoint is not connected Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am mounting an SMB share to AS/400 via the GUI (gvfs). Then running a multi-threaded Java program to copy files from the AS/400 to my PC hard disks. The Java program uses pathnames to access the files on the AS/400, e.g. /home/<me>/.gvfs/dira/dirb... All this works fine and it runs for many hours (say 18+). Then the connection is lost. the AS/400 is up the whole time and appears quite accessible. The really strange thing is that the files and directories on the AS/400 can still be seen and accessed via Nautilus before and after the problem. What doesn't work is the pathname, so my Java program can't use the path, and if I open a terminal and try to cd to .gvfs I get: cd .gvfs bash: cd: .gvfs: Transport endpoint is not connected The only way I can get out of this is to reboot (logging off and on again does not help). As I have millions (not exaggerating) of files to copy a solution would be really helpful. I was using 9.10, but upgraded yesterday to 11.10. Both have the same problem in the same way. Thanks in advance.
