No Object for D-Bus Interface

[Jeffrey Walton]

I have a multiboot laptop with 4 OS'es. The laptop is UEFI, and the disks use GPTs.

When I navigate Places -> SHARED (SHARED is a NTFS GPT drive), then I receive an error "No Object for D-Bus Interface" (see attached).

In fact, any of the drives that are listed in the menu cause the error. The list of drives are "SHARED", "Windows 8", "Debian", "Recovery", and "Fedora".

I'm using GNOME Fallback because this is a laptop, and not a tablet.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have Asrock N3150DC-ITX with UEFI and a SATA 2 WD 500Gb with same problem.

Recently, the same problem appears on my system too:

- Ubuntu 15.10 x64
- 5 internal drives (out of which 3 are auto-mounted via fstab)

Trying to mount those 2 drives via Nautilus which are not auto-mounted via fstab failed with the above mentioned error message. Via gnome-disks I could mount the same drives without any problem. The error appeared independently on two different user accounts.

The same issue is also reported here with instructions for how to fix the issue:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/627621/no-object-for-d-bus-interface-when-mounting-with-nautilus

On Ubuntu 15.10, the following commands worked for me:

sudo umount -fl /run/user/[USER ID]/gvfs
sudo rm -rf /run/user/[USER ID]/gvfs

However, the error re-appeared after some time, so the fix may only be a temporary solution.

Another workaround is:
Every time you want to mount a partition with this error, open gparted, wait until drive informations were refreshed and close it. After that nautilus is able to mount it.

Anyway, please fix this! :)
