Bug Description

gvfs will not allow an NFS mount.

In nautilus, one cannot mount an NFS mount using 'other locations'. If a valid url is typed, (nfs://IP _ADDRESS/MOUNT_POINT one can never select 'connect' as it is always greyed out.

Fully up to date ubuntu 18.04. Duplicates same behavior on 2 machines. Also impedes deja-dup using nfs for backups. This functionality works as expected in Arch with the Gnome interface.

$ lsb_release -rd
