[Bug 1872286] Re: gio - cifs mount smb not possible "Location is not mountable"

[Dirk Heumann]

I found out, that I had to install the package `gvfs-backends` to get
`gvfsd-smb`:

`$ find /usr -name 'gvfsd-smb' -exec ls -l '{}' \; 2>/dev/null`
`-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 59704 Mär 11 17:23 /usr/libexec/gvfsd-smb`
`lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Mär 11 17:23 /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-smb -> ../../libexec/gvfsd-smb`

After installing it, I got:

`$ gio mount smb://192.168.178.1/PathName`
`gio: smb://192.168.178.1/PathName/: Failed to mount Windows share: Software caused connection abort`
`gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse` `(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000)`

I will reboot the machine to look if there is another result afterwards.
