gvfs 0.2.4 does not work

[Tesiph]

Binary package hint: gvfs

After upgrading the gvfs packages to 0.2.4, gvfs stopped working. Any attempt to use it from nautilus ends in a "Nautilus cannot handle x:// locations". Trying to use the gvfs-mount command gives an "Error mounting location: volume doesn't implement mount".

Manually starting gvfsd does not work either. Atleast gvfsd-network also launches without error from the CLI, but does not make the network:// location available. Further documentation to debug this seems to be missing.

Downgrading to 0.2.3 solves the problem (this is on x86_64).

what error do you get it you run /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd -r? nobody else complained about a similar issue so it's likely due to something on your installation

[Tesiph (tesiph)]

None, no other output either.

Also, I don't know how gvfs works, but 0.2.3 generates a lot of processes for it's helpers, but 0.2.4 does not.

Problem is with libgvfsdbus.so

When running 0.2.4 no output is generated by dbus-monitor when launching nautilus. Replacing above file with the version from 0.2.3 solves the problem.

check this:
echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

if it is null perhaps you may need in your start :

if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
    eval `/usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
    export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
fi
