checksecurity cron job warning message caused by gvfs

[Laurent Bonnaud]

cron sent me an e-mail with the following content:

/etc/cron.weekly/checksecurity:
find: /home/bonnaud/.gvfs: Permission denied

This is caused by this mount point that is created automatically when I insert an USB drive:

$ df
[...]
gvfs-fuse-daemon 92971396 72958992 20012404 79% /home/bonnaud/.gvfs

Here is some version info (latest hardy):

Package: checksecurity
Version: 2.0.7-11ubuntu1

Package: gvfs-fuse
Version: 0.2.2svn20080403-0ubuntu1

Thanks for your bug report. That just seems to be a perms reason, does the owner on "gvfs-info -f ~/.gvfs/mount" is correct? Does this occurs on Intrepid?

[Phil Sumner (ubuntu-philsumner)]

I see this same issue and that command gives:

phil@home-laptop:~$ gvfs-info -f ~/.gvfs/mount
Error getting info: Error getting filesystem info: No such file or directory
phil@home-laptop:~$ gvfs-info -f ~/.gvfs/

This bug still exists in lucid.

To reproduce it:

 - install both packages checksecurity and gvfs-fuse
 - log in
 - wait a week for the cron job to execute or run /etc/cron.weekly/checksecurity as root

[bradleee (brad-edmondson)]

I receive this notice in lucid.

I believe it only occurs because 1) I have my home directory encrypted using builtin efs wrapper and 2) sometimes checksecurity runs while I am logged-out (and my encrypted homedir is not mounted).

I can provide further details as needed.

[DanieW (dawessels)]

I also have it and don't have an encrypted file system.
And my system states: "You are using Ubuntu 10.10
                - the Maverick Meerkat"
But I do have mounted windows partitions...
and also get
 gvfs-info -f ~/.gvfs/mount
Error getting info: Error getting filesystem info: No such file or directory

[Laurent Bonnaud (laurent-bonnaud)]

This bug no longer exists in quantal. The gvfs mount point is not in the user's homedir any longer. It is now located in /run :

$ grep gvfs /proc/mounts
gvfsd-fuse /run/user/bonnaud/gvfs fuse.gvfsd-fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000 0 0
