Under specific circumstances, xfce-base/thunar-1.6.17 may be unable to transfer files to gvfs mount, ie SMB but is able to create new directories and files. The error that is printed is: "the destination is read-only", where it is not. Copying to: '/var/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:share=XXX' works, but Thunar drag and drop or copy does not. The attached is a backported batch from Thunar 18.4 from: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/extra/xfce/thunar-gtk3/blob/270f0c86629e31245034bcdc448561e5aefec882/0001-ignore-null-value-for-destination-write-attribute.patch which does solve the problem on xfce-base/thunar-1.6.17. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a CIFS share on Windows 10 2. In Thunar, navigate to: smb://DOMAIN;username@IP/SHARENAME 3. Attempt to copy a file and observe how Thunar fails with 'the destination is read-only' Actual Results: I was not able to transfer files to the share in Thunar. Expected Results: Be able to transfer files to the share as it is mounted by gvfs in read-write mode. Apply the attached patch. Thunar flags: * Found these USE flags for xfce-base/thunar-1.6.17: U I + + dbus : Enable dbus support for anything that needs it (gpsd, gnomemeeting, etc) + + exif : Add support for reading EXIF headers from JPEG and TIFF images + + libnotify : Enable desktop notification support + + pcre : Add support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions - - test : Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled independently) + + trash-panel-plugin : Build the trash status indicator plugin for the XFCE panel + + udisks : Enable storage management support (automounting, volume monitoring, etc)
Created attachment 580216 [details, diff] suggested patch that allows Thunar to transfer files into the gvfs mount This patch was backported from: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/extra/xfce/thunar-gtk3/blob/270f0c86629e31245034bcdc448561e5aefec882/0001-ignore-null-value-for-destination-write-attribute.patch Perhaps worth applying this to the latest 1.8 ebuild too.
