Where ".gvfs" has gone in 14.04

My question is "simple".

Where can I find a local mount point for the Samba shares I'm connected to. In 12.04 it was located under *home/.gvfs*.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here is my smb.conf file :

Thanks to LewisTM, you can find your gvfs folder in /run/user/$UID/gvfs.

$ mount | grep gvfs

Also see this.

If you don't have .gvfs any longer, you should be able to find the gvfs mount location with mount | grep gvfs. For example, gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=nrd) .

The location is there, and you can pull it out programmatically if you want, with mount | grep gvfs | awk '{print $3}' or something similar. The example here just returns /run/user/1000/gvfs.

If you are pre-12.10, you should have ~/.gvfs, but after 12.10 look in /run/user/user_id/gvfs/ .
If ~/.gvfs already was present (which would happen if you upgraded from an earlier release), it won't be clobbered in new releases, but the new directory will be created anyway.

You can find your uid in a few different way, e.g., by looking in /etc/passwd, or running id --user or echo "$UID".

The new location would then be /run/user/$(id --user)/gvfs/

In my system, the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable also contains the directory above gvfs:

$ env | grep user
[...]
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000

So, on my system, I have /run/user/1000/gvfs.
