I also have found this behavior to be a problem for our soon to be 60 workstation 200 user LDAP/NFS environment. We are running Ubuntu 10.04/amd64, autofs mounted NFS with rootsquashing on.
My workaround is: In /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default add the following before the "/sbin/initctl ..." line: # create /gvfs if missing [ ! -d /gvfs ] && mkdir -m 1777 /gvfs # create users gvfs mountpoint there [ ! -d /gvfs/$USER ] && sudo -u $USER mkdir -m 0700 /gvfs/$USER # remove ~/.gvfs and create the symlink sudo -u $USER rmdir ~/.gvfs sudo -u $USER ln -s /gvfs/$USER ~/.gvfs -- gvfs-fuse fails to start on NFS mounted homes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435719 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
