Gvfs folder location in Ubuntu Mate 15.04

  • 772

Despite this question Where ".gvfs" has gone in 14.04 , the folder I found in /run/user/1000/gvfs is empty, but I have 3 mounted samba shares.

Even locate .gvfs gives no results and all locate gvfs results don't have any of the mounted samba shares inside.

    I had the same problem and VLC wouldn't play videos from a smb mount. To solve this I installed gvfs-fuse - which was not installed by default.

    sudo apt-get install gvfs-fuse

    /run/user/1000/gvfs will contain your samba mounts after you install gvfs-fuse. You will need to reboot after installing.
