[solved] cannot access 'gvfs': Permission denied

Post by it-place »

Hi,
after installing a fresh Linux Mint 19 I'm unable to access the path /run/user/1000/gvfs:
root@twonky:/> cd /run/user/1000
root@twonky:/run/user/1000> ls -l | grep gvfs
ls: cannot access 'gvfs': Permission denied
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? gvfs
I like to use gio mount to mount my smb-share. The mount is working fine but now I'm unable to create a symlink to:
/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=mediapi,share=nas
Does any know what went wrong here? :?:
Best Regards, Oliver

I was on the wrong track: only the user can access the path:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... ng-as-root

The solution is to create the symlink as normal user. :roll:
