Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2009-07-29 22:10:48 UTC

I think the problem is in gvfs.  Building against git master causes just about everything to abort with this error.  Uninstalling it and falling back to F-11 gvfs fixes the problem.  Reassigning.

Comment 2 Michel Lind 2009-08-10 06:19:36 UTC

Experienced this after upgrading a box from F-11 to Rawhide (gvfs 1.3.3-2); killing active gvfs* processes fix the issue. This bug could probably be closed?

Comment 3 Alexander Larsson 2009-09-26 17:55:20 UTC

Yeah, this is due to protocol changes in gvfs unstable releases. Easiest way to fix is to log out + in, harder version is to kill all gvfs-* processes and restart all apps that use gvfs.

Comment 4 Yann Vernier 2009-09-29 13:20:45 UTC

"Not a bug" is hardly an appropriate response to something that crashes every GUI program when you try to save your work, with a totally unhelpful error message the user most likely won't even see. 
gvfs should have had a version check and sane fallback behaviour.
