#gvfs — Public Fediverse posts

wtf is #gvfs ?
I can't believe this crap. When I mount an smb with thunar or nautilus it will result in a mounted remote filesystem share that is SUPER slow and I even cannot open files at all. Also it get's mounted in some madeup subdirectory in /run/media or some stupid path nobody would ever search in.

When I use mount.cifs instead it's super fast and works transparently.
Who invents such crappy piece of wannabe software? I don't see the benefit of it though.

MB-Freigaben in Linux systemweit mounten: Warum dein NAS-Ordner im Programm fehlt und wie du ihn fixierst

Ich erkläre, wie man NAS-Ordner mounten kann, wenn sie in bestimmten Programmen fehlen.

Ok, caught in the #Debian trap. I‘d need a newer #gvfs or #smb implementation in hope things are fixed then. But #LMDE is even slower than #Debian, so no updates yet.

* También depende del entorno gráfico: #gvfs (#gnome, #xfce) o el equivalente en #kde (creo que es #kio), que suelen montar en /run/media.

* Configuraciones personalizadas de #polkit pueden hacer que los usuarios puedan montar discos en diferentes ubicaciones.

* El mismo udisks2 permite cambiar configuraciones para montar automáticamente en otros directorios.

* Y por supuesto, el montaje manual y uso de /etc/fstab puede permitirnos montar directorios no estándar.

I still need some more feel at home config help. As you can see here I love having vertical gradients on my displays, but in KDE and Vallpaper I have not found how I can set gradients on the side of my wallpaper which are deliberately not 16:9 since I love to look at (vertical) gradients. Where do I need to look to achieve that? Is there a KDE action that I need to define for all my 20 KDE desktops?

As you see here I already have configured the minimal amount of users that I need in my K Desktop Environment

The next phase will take a bit of time because I need to fine tune critical small keyboard shortcuts so that they work as transparently as they do in xFace with muscle memory

Im starting to achieve platform distro OS translucency regarding more and more projects. Now I can smoothly work in my hugo projects from any distro I want in Linux. All I need to do is keep the copies I work on in sync.
Since I dont run zfs jet on a centralized HDD / SSD I simply use mc -a to do the job manually.
Normally it should be trivial, but the hugo projects want rm -Rf dir otherwise old files with similar size can be changed, thus screwing up continuity

Since my KDE MX install is smoothing out in cfg features I need, which is a combo of XFce components and KDE, I can smoothly switch to the KDE distro and work further while I tune it.

I chose to keep XFce seperate from KDE distro wise due to size constraints I;ve put on my boot partition

Found a file modification timestamp UTC offset problem in #GVFS affecting #GNOMEFiles, in case there are any #FTP experts around: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/-/issues/789

Hey BTRFS users 😀

Did you ever encounter, that on btrfs there's no trash option, but only directly delete?

Well, here you'll find more details about this:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/1885

Not actually fixed, but did you know about this relatively new mount-flag "x-gvfs-trash" as a workaround?

#BTRFS #GVFS #Trash

So WHERE TF does gnome mount MTP devices (like Android Samsung S21, in my case)?
It used to be /run/user/$UID/gvfs, but it doesn't seem to be the case anymore. And I want to use some rsync or CLI to deal with that. But it seems I have to actually select stuff in a file explorer and copy paste.
Are we getting in the Windows era of linux Desktop Environment?

I wasted the last 2 hours trying to figure out why #ThunarFileManager does not detect #gvfs on #SwayWM. I should have checked the #Gentoo Wiki page (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sway)... In its examples, the wiki page always starts sway via dbus-run-session. I had started it directly via the sway binary...

So, starting right now, my .bashrc file will contain this little alias definition:

alias sway="dbus-run-session sway"

@CyDeFect @FiLiS In theory, yes. In practice, not so much. The #gvfs-based approach creates "weird" mountpoints in a user scope. The #smbnetfs variant creates some "dynamic" mountpoint where you have to access a hostname/ip-address using it as it was a subdirectory. Both not what I would have needed for home directories via #SMB3. Plus, they both perform badly.

So, in my case, just using #NFS for #FreeBSD clients (and still offering #SMB3 via #samba for #Windows clients) was the sanest solution.

Merci à #gvfs-mtp

I've been looking for a #GoogleDrive #Linux integration that is not as buggy as #GNOME's #gvfs integration. #rclone seemed like the right tool, but I wanted to mount the remote drive to a local folder automatically with my user login, so I stumbled upon this great Gist: https://gist.github.com/kabili207/2cd2d637e5c7617411a666d8d7e97101
Seems to work great for the moment and at a much faster speed than the GNOME integration.
