Browsing samba share gives error: Mountpoint Already registered

Thank you for your bug report, confirming on a jaunty livecd those are displayed sometime but the mounting works anyway seems to be due to the system slowness or something

This bug is exposed when trying to access a mountpoint, workgroup, or network server, and they are multiple attempts to perform the operation. Especially evident when network is slow, since the mounting takes a long time, the user would double click again, and this message will appear.

The error is very trivial, so for usability when it is triggered, nothing should happen. Ie - do not show the error.

I STRONGLY disagree with this being described as a "trivial" error. At the present time I am unable to mount any windows shares on my Ubuntu 9.04 machine because of this issue and that's a show stopper over here. Simply waiting or double-clicking again does not clear the error.

I think poofyyoda means it is a trivial fix. If so, can we have a gnome developer take a look or perhaps we can enter it as an entry in the 100 paper cuts. This bug is important as it may block two users from sharing files simply.

Seb, can we bump up the importance of this bug to Medium and if it is in fact trivial, can we have a developer produce a fix/patch.

Same problem. Unable to mount location
DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.invalidArgs: Mountpoint Already registered
Fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10
This is accessing a Samba share on the local network.

As a workaround, unmounting .gvfs works for me:

 $ sudo umount -l ~/.gvfs

Getting this error now with Xubuntu 12.04. When trying to open the Network icon in Thunar (gvfs-backends is installed):

Failed to open "Windows Network." DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Mountpoint Already registered.

This seems to happen only when trying to connect to Windows shares. Connecting to the other machine running Xubuntu does not yield this error. Interestingly, my Windows machine can see and work with my Xubutu shares just fine.

Getting same error (translated from dutch): "cannot connect to location". Followed by: "could not load the shared folder list from server.". I'm suggested to press cancel to go back...

I tried the command $ sudo umount -l ~/.gvfs but still have no access to my netwerk resources..

In my case it happened after doing a partial distribution upgrade, from Ubuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 12.04.

I am still having this problem., but it is sporadic. I had this problem with Ubunto 10.10 and again in 12.10 after the upgrade. My other computer has this problem with Linux Mint 13 as well.

Tonight, I sent files over to my XP laptop, came home wanted to pull those files back here, and nothing.. can't find any other computer, not even the other Linux machines. The Windows machines can find this computer no problem however, which means I can at least get the files here to work on...
