Sorry for my English.
I use gvfs to browse SMB shared files in a server via L2TP IPSEC (strongswan) VPN connection. I’m using NetworkManager and Cinnamon Desktop.
In RebornOS, this operation is much slower than in other distributions (such as Debian, Mageia, OpenSUSE).
I love RebornOS, but it’s very difficult to connect to my work network through it.
Could you help me? How can I do to speed-up my VPN connection?
Hi @aleximon ,
How did you connect on Debian or OpenSUSE? Did they use GVFS too?
Yes. On Debian and OpenSUSE I connected via NetworkManager, the same way I did in RebornOS, using the same settings from the GUI. In ArchLinux, it behaves the same as in RebornOS.
I see. I have contacted @CookieSource to assist with this as they are more familiar with Networking

hmmm I’m going to guess that both Debian and ubuntu based distros provide a base config for Gvfs that’s most likely absent in Arch
I was at 1 time working on this. https://github.com/RebornOS-Team/samba-conf to some extend but never finished it

I would assume that its a similar problem
Thank you so much!
As the Arch wiki indicates, I created a minimal smb.conf file (workgroup name, server string, and standalone server role). Performance improved slightly, but it’s still very slow.
Is there an alternative to gvfs for browsing the remote filesystem in Nemo/Thunar/Caja?
I think you might want to check out using CIFS and there is some performance issues with SMB and Arch Linux. You might want to try mounting the FS in fstab or at least modifying the configuration.
Thank you very much!
I thought the problem was with L2TP/Strongswan, when it was actually with gvfs.
Manually mounting using cifs increased the speed significantly. It’s now possible to work from RebornOS.
