permission denied on .gvfs
When attempting to use the update system I receive a unable to stat and permission denied on /home/whatever/.gvfs
When looking at it with an ls -l it looks like
????????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs
I can not chown, touch, edit, remove, or do anything as the user of the home dir or as root. Both receive a permission denied.
Any suggestions?
*Edit*
Also, I am running OpenSuSE 11.0. I found similar issues in the beta / rc sections of the forum but I am running the actual release for 11.

This is also causing problems with rsync backups of /home.

Re: permission denied on .gvfs
Bumping this thread due to the following:
* I installed OS11 Gnome fresh on my system
* I did some configuring and want to put back my backed up files
* I can access my network drive
* I can not copy files over it says "permission denied"
* User is owner of directory and has sufficient rights
* Even using su doesn't resolve this
* On console it states "can not access .gvfs. Permission denied".
* I'm not able to delete the .gvfs directory (says it is in use)
* I am able to create new directories in the home folder of the user
I've been looking on the Internet and haven't found solutions and the given tips in IRC didn't work out. Does anybody here have ideas on how to fix this issue, besides doing a total re-install?

Same problem here. Shiny new installations OpenSuse on a T61 (64Bit) and a Mac Mini (32 Bit). Both throw that error when installing IBM RPMs

Re: permission denied on .gvfs
FUSE directories are only accessible by the UID that mounted them (unless other options were using during mount). I find this gvfs stuff highly annoying anyway, why is it suddenly needed in 11.0?

Re: permission denied on .gvfs
There is also one critical bug regarding fuse/gvfs. Makes me pretty nervous, though I don't experience any data corruption (yet?).

Re: permission denied on .gvfs
Did anyone ever figure this out? I am having the same issue also. This /home/$USER/.gvfs file is impossible to take ownership of or change permissions on. I actually wanted to take ownership of my home folder to test a program that won't run, and this untouchable .gvfs folder is in the way. Funny...

I think this is a "well-know" bug, reported several times. So, maybe still
not fixed:
***
Bug 467862 - By opening firefox a file ".gvfs" are created in the home
direcotry with no access rights

Re: permission denied on .gvfs
A solution to remove .gvfs , odd directory:
#umount /home/useraccount/.gvfs
#find . -inum 554009 -exec rm{} \;
After that,
#rm -rf .gvfs
Cheers!
