Failed To Stat .gvfs Permission Denied

I am trying to install a package with sudo rpm -i and it keeps telling me, even after a reboot

error: failed to stat /home/frank/.gvfs: Permission denied
********package cnijfilter-common-2.80-1 is already installed

Well that isn't true, I have never installed the package and it is not included in opensuse, it is a canon printer filter.

I look with dolphin and I see the ~/.gvfs folder. Empty. User ONLY is able to view the content, but not modify it and no one else nor a group, can even view. I try to change the permissions, though I get no error msgs (both in terminal and dolphin), it never changes the permissions.

I then try in super user mode with konqueror. Ha, that's funny, the .gvfs folder does not exist, though I do see all hidden files. I go back in dolphin and terminal and the folder is there!

So the folder seems to exist but not in konqueror
I cannot change its permissions
I cannot install a rpm package.

What can I do now to solve this?

tnx

It looks like the package is relying on a feature not in your distro.

So any messages after the failure to find this file or directory must be taken with a grain of salt.

The other explanation is perhaps you need to be running Gnome to install the package.

Doesn't sound like a well made package.

Hmmm, that's an interesting explanation. It works flawlessly in 10.3 KDE, so something must have changed in 11, then. That could be a problem, cuz without that filter I don't know if it's possible to use my Canon MX700. I need the pstocanonij filter which is made by that package. I tried copying the one from 10.3 to 11, but that does not seem to work well, though I have not done the test correctly, I will retry. In 10.3 I was not able to use the printer without installing that package.

No certainly not well made, it's from Canon and they pee on Linux (excuse my language), like Lexmark. They are apparently the 2 manufacturers who don't want to support much their printers under Linux. Maybe this package has some kind of link to a Fedora function. That still does not explain why in 10.3 it works flawlessly. Who knows...

First I will try this out outside vmware. It could be possible the problem is that I was under vmware.

tnx for your opinion!
