That does nothing to explain what problem you're facing.

Re: [SOLVED] thunar not detecting gvfs

im guessing this is as simple as installing "gvfs-smb" as you dont appear to have installed it.

see below for other packages you may install to enable other functionality:

pacman -Ss gvfs
extra/gvfs 1.50.0-1 (gnome)
    Virtual filesystem implementation for GIO
extra/gvfs-afc 1.50.0-1 (gnome)
    Virtual filesystem implementation for GIO (AFC backend; Apple mobile devices)
extra/gvfs-goa 1.50.0-1 (gnome)
    Virtual filesystem implementation for GIO (Gnome Online Accounts backend; cloud storage)
extra/gvfs-google 1.50.0-1 (gnome)
    Virtual filesystem implementation for GIO (Google Drive backend)
extra/gvfs-gphoto2 1.50.0-1 (gnome)
    Virtual filesystem implementation for GIO (gphoto2 backend; PTP camera, MTP media player)
extra/gvfs-mtp 1.50.0-1 (gnome)
    Virtual filesystem implementation for GIO (MTP backend; Android, media player)
extra/gvfs-nfs 1.50.0-1 (gnome)
    Virtual filesystem implementation for GIO (NFS backend)
extra/gvfs-smb 1.50.0-1 (gnome)
    Virtual filesystem implementation for GIO (SMB/CIFS backend; Windows client)

"solved" how?

Also mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] thunar not detecting gvfs

Probably by installing missing gvfs dependants, in any case this thread is over 3 years old and solved, if you have a similar issue and want help please make a new post @redybauski

Closing this old thread.
