Reading the bugs around colord, it seams to me, that this error is not related to colord. It is most propably a problem of gvfs.
I will try to link this bug to gvfs. If there is any operator available, pls support to re-link this bug to gvfs. It is a critical error, because using the symbolic links is important for using the system. You can find work arounds, but I am thinking about downgrading to ubuntu 14.04 LTS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to colord in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1612708 Title: Symbolic Link does not work in 16.04 LTS as in 14.04 LTS Status in colord package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS colord: Installiert: 1.2.12-1ubuntu1 Installationskandidat: 1.2.12-1ubuntu1 Versionstabelle: *** 1.2.12-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS I have created NAS access by using 'gvfs-mount smb://nasdo/public'. It is linked to '/run/user/1000/gvfs/ als smb- share:server=nasdo,share=public' and I have created a Symbolic Link to this point with 'ln -s /run/user/1000/gvfs/smb- share\:server\=nasdo\,share\=public ~/nasdo_public'. Using this link folders, and files on the NAS have been accessable with r/w from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. This is, what I expect from 16.04, too. Since I have upgraded to ubuntu 16.04 LTS a few days ago, all the links seem to be the same, but opening a file does not work. It comes to an input/output error. I can use the links to folders to navigate, but there is no chance to open e.g. an LibreOffice Calc Sheet, nor do I have access to mail folder via Thunderbird. Using gvfs-mount creates a shared folder in Nautilus called public. Using this way to access the NAS, and open the Calc file works with ubuntu 16.04 LTS fine. Locking to the syslog while trying to open a file creates the following entries: Aug 12 16:47:19 UDO systemd[1]: Started Hostname Service.
