How to get rid of this duff directory?
I think this may well be connected with my recent question about automounting. How do I get rid of this broken .gvfs directory:- -rw------- 1 chris chris 0 2012-01-03 10:28 .gtk-bookmarks -rw-rw-r-- 1 chris chris 82 2011-12-29 11:18 .gtkrc-2.0 d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs drwxr----- 2 chris chris 4096 2012-03-11 17:04 .hplip drwxrwxr-x 3 chris chris 4096 2012-02-15 20:20 .icedtea I can't even ls it directly:- chris$ ls -d .gvfs ls: cannot access .gvfs: Permission denied -- Chris Green

sudo?
No, a bit of Googling told me what was going on, .gvfs is a mount point and you need to unmount the file system that's mounted there before being able to remove it. Once that's done you can recreate .gvfs and reboot and everything is OK. There is a bug somewhere that causes .gvfs to become unreadable as above. -- Chris Green

Then, with respect, why didn't you do that /before/ asking the list? Mick --------------------------------------------------------------------- blog: baldric.net fingerprint: E8D2 8882 F7AE DEB7 B2AA 9407 B9EA 82CC 1092 7423 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

I had already done quite a lot of googling for the problem, having read through several threads on various forums that didn't answer my question I thought I'd ask here. However I also kept on looking. Anyway, surely it's OK to ask questions here whether or not you've looked elsewhere. The alug list is one of many places I will look and ask if I have a problem. It's hardly a heavy traffic list so a bit of activity helps to keep it alive. -- Chris Green
