14.1.3. .gvfs: Permission Denied
- Question:
- When trying to install the ELDK, I get error messages
like this for each and every package that gets installed:
Preparing... ################### 100% 1: rpm... ################### 100% Error: Failed to stat /home/wd/.gvfs: Permission Denied
This happens even though I run the installer as root. - Answer:
- Even though flagged as an error, these messages
are harmless warnings that can be safely ignored.
Before the RPM tool starts to install a package,
it checks if there is sufficient space for it in the file system.
Unfortunately it is dumb and checks all mounted file systems for space,
but the permissions of the
".gvfs"
directory (the mount point for the Gnome Virtual File System) do not permit this. - Note:
- Actually the messages are not printed despite the fact that
you are running as root, but because you run as root.
You have permissions to check the
"$HOME/.gvfs"
directory, while root gets an error:$ df -h /home/wd/.gvfs Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on gvfs-fuse-daemon 0 0 0 - /home/wd/.gvfs $ sudo df -h /home/wd/.gvfs df: `/home/wd/.gvfs': Permission denied df: no file systems processed
