Listmates, A new error has appeared after the latest set of kde 4.3 updates that related, to all things, gnome? I noticed it doing an update with zypper: Retrieving package libgcj44-jar-4.4.1_20090722-3.1.x86_64 (14/172), 9.9 MiB (10.8 MiB unpacked) Retrieving: libgcj44-jar-4.4.1_20090722-3.1.x86_64.rpm [done (122.3 KiB/s)] Installing: libgcj44-jar-4.4.1_20090722-3.1 [done] Additional rpm output: error: failed to stat /home/david/.gvfs: Permission denied Retrieving package libgcc44-32bit-4.4.1_20090722-8.1.x86_64 (15/172), 55.0 KiB (124.0 KiB unpacked) Retrieving: libgcc44-32bit-4.4.1_20090722-8.1.x86_64.rpm [done (497.2 KiB/s)] Installing: libgcc44-32bit-4.4.1_20090722-8.1 [done] Additional rpm output: error: failed to stat /home/david/.gvfs: Permission denied At first I checked mtab after recently learning the "stat xyz..." meant rpm couldn't find something it thought was mounted. mtab had nothing on .gvfs. The forums held the workaround: <quote> <snip> I read of several workarounds, although upgrading (or forcing a reinstall) of the gvfs packages through zypper or yast seems to fix the issue entirely, especially considering I can see and work with .gvfs on my systems without any issues. =====Workaround #1: fusermount -u $HOME/.gvfs This should unmount the .gvfs mountpoint. It will likely be remounted almost immediately by the 'gvfs-fuse-daemon' daemon... so... killall -9 gvfs-fuse-daemon should kill the little bugger, Although it will likely come back in the future, it's gone for the moment. You might try to see which programs or commands you're running which are invoking the daemon to mount .gvfs. 'gvfsd' is likely also related to this issue, but doesn't seem to be a culprit at this time. <snip> </quote> See: http://forums.opensuse.org/general-chit-chat/392976-very-strange-thing-gvfs.... I haven't tried the reinstall of gvfs yet (I don't want it installed). After killing the mount with fusermount, the errors have stopped for the moment..... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
