[arch-general] Why is permission for /run/user/1000/gvfs denied for root?
Hi, why can't I access the directory? $ sudo LANG=C ls -l /run/user/1000 ls: cannot access '/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied total 0 srw-rw-rw- 1 peter users 0 Dec 12 07:00 bus drwx------ 3 peter users 60 Dec 12 07:12 dbus-1 drwx------ 2 peter users 60 Dec 13 07:50 dconf drwx------ 2 peter users 140 Dec 12 07:00 gnupg d????????? ? ? ? ? ? gvfs drwx------ 2 peter users 60 Dec 12 07:13 keyring drwxr-xr-x 2 peter users 60 Dec 12 07:00 p11-kit drwx------ 2 peter users 100 Dec 12 07:12 pulse drwxr-xr-x 2 peter users 80 Dec 12 07:00 systemd First assumed this is just some mount point, and I cannot access it because I've not attached any device. But nothing changes, if I attach one. So, why are there all those question marks? Should it be possible to have some "unknown users/groups" accessing parts of my system? Kind regards Peter

I replaced it by an empty dummy packages to fulfil hard dependencies, that actually should be optional dependencies. [root@archlinux moonstudio]# pacman -Qi gvfs | head -3 Name : gvfs Version : 2013.08.18-1 Description : Dummy package [root@archlinux moonstudio]# systemd-nspawn -q dpkg -l gvfs | grep ii ii gvfs 2016:07-13-moonstudio all Dummy package The reason for me to remove gvfs is, that it wakes up an external green WD drive for no reason, so the drive spins up, right after it spins down, after being idle for 30 minutes.

But I need it to access the filesystem of my Android phone!? Or are there alternatives?

Hi Peter,

There seem to be lots. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Android#Transferring_files https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Media_Transfer_Protocol A user here just mount(8)s IIRC, using an fstab(5) entry. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy

I've just looked at these wiki articles. It seems, MTP is the protocoll interfacing the device, while GVFS is the file manager integration. My MTP-related packages are: $ LANG=C pacman -Ss mtp | grep "\[inst" | grep -v libcddb extra/gvfs-gphoto2 1.38.1-1 (gnome) [installed] extra/gvfs-mtp 1.38.1-1 (gnome) [installed] extra/libmtp 1.1.16-1 [installed] GVFS is used by Gnome and obviously also by XFCE4 (with Thunar). So, in my case, the architecture seems to be like this: +--------+ + Thunar | +---+----+ | | v +--------+ + GVFS | +---+----+ | | v +--------+ +------------------+ + MTP +-->+ Android-Device | +---+----+ +------------------+

I don't know. I'm using an iPad and share data with my Linux PC either via email or by a Windows 7 guest running in Virtualbox. Since Windows is a guest and gvfs isn't installed and IIRC the iPad's photo and video folder could be accessed even without running iTunes, it must be possible to access this folder directly via Linux without gvfs. However, I need to run iTunes in the Windows guest, since I need access to audio production apps' file sharing. Perhaps there is something provided by e.g. KDE, that allows to access an Android filesystem.

I recommend Dolphin - or KDEConnect, which works outside of KDE. -- GPG fingerprint: 871F 1047 7DB3 DDED 5FC4 47B2 26C7 E577 EF96 7808
