"InvalidArgs - Mountpoint Already registered" when mounting SMB share

[Eugene Pankov]

Binary package hint: gvfs

Opening SMB share from bookmarks produces DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Mountpoint Already registered, but share is actually mounted succesfully.

Reproduction:
1. Add SMB share to bookmarks (storing password in keyring)
2. Unmount
3. Single-click the share in bookmarks.

Maverick with latest updates,
gvfs 1.6.3-0ubuntu1

Thank you for your bug report, does it happen every time with any location?

[Eugene Pankov (john-pankov)]

Happens 8 out of each 10 times, can't detect why it's in that way. Still happens with latest updates. Location doesn't matter.

I get this error message too most of the times when I click on unmounted bookmarked shares. This error message pops up:

Could not display "smb://server/share/folder".
Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Mountpoint Already registered
Please select another viewer and try again.

Despite this error msg, the share is successfully mounted and appears on the "Network" list in nautilus. Clicking on the bookmark again doesn't produce the error msg, and just (sometimes) redirects the selection to the folder in the "Network" list.

Happens with both sftp and smb shares. Currently on gvfs 1.6.4-0ubuntu1.1

[Expired for gvfs (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

Same happens to me. Just updated to 10.10 and the error appears when single-clicking a bookmark from Places list on left. The remote directory is mounted but the error still shows. Did not happen in 10.04.

Same for me! It also get similar errors sometimes when I click on Computer (computer:///) or a folder to a ftp location!
