Gnome problem accessing computer:///, trash:///, etc

Hi.

I have built gnome-2.28.1 from scratch (source) with gnome I compiled GDM and many other programs. GDM is starting fine, I can enter my user on the login prompt and loggin without problems.

When I'm in the desktop I can't access the Computer or Trash locations clicking on the icon or even through Nautilus, the same error happening:
Error: Operation not supported.

I tried debugging by hand running the follow command: gvfs-ls trash://
Which tells me exactly Error: Operation not supported.

On my ubuntu system, lsof | grep gvfs returns a lot of gvfsd* daemons, like gvfsd-computer and gvfsd-trash. On my Scratch system lsof | grep gvfs doesn't return anything.

My prefix used when building gnome was /opt/gnome and sysconfdir on /etc/gnome/2.28.1.

lsof shows me that D-Bus is running, actualy gdm starts gnome with dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session.

And inside my /etc/dbus-1/session-local.conf I have:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
 "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>

  <!-- Search for .service files in /usr/local -->
  <servicedir>/opt/gnome/share/dbus-1/services</servicedir>

</busconfig>

Well, I'm a little frustrated since I done many tweaks around and still can't display gvfs location, what I think is very odd is that lsof doesn't returns any gvfsd* daemon running.

I'm open for suggestions, thanks.

best regards []'s

Well, like I said before, I'm not using ubuntu, this is a LFS system.

But the problem is now solved. The gio modules wasn't being loaded by Dbus, the modules was being searched inside /usr/lib/gio/modules and the right place was /opt/gnome/lib/gio/modules, adding this to GIO_EXTRA_MODULES variable did the trick and now it's all working fine.
