GVFS timeout

jinpin · 2019-05-23 14:25:00

I have an error with my gvfs. Opening any file dialog takes > 30 s until the following timeouts:

Error creating proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)
Error creating proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gtk.vfs.GoaVolumeMonitor: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)

My environment: Xfce + lightdm

Other people have had the same error message:
* https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=226015
* https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1066
* https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … us-timeout

but their solution – deleting /etc/systemd/system/user@.service.d/dbus.conf hasn't worked for me; my machine never has had this file

All my hard disk drives, SATA SSDs and the M2 SSD are accessible, there are no network shares:

Is there 1 session too much?

loginctl session wise this looks alright, fwiw what are the outputs of

printenv | grep DBUS
hostnamectl

jinpin · 2019-05-23 14:51:58

printenv | grep DBUS

DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus

hostnamectl

   Static hostname: main
         Icon name: computer-desktop
           Chassis: desktop

           Boot ID: dcf2750859284fc78e15949f4aebf99a
  Operating System: Arch Linux
            Kernel: Linux 5.2.0-rc1-mainline
      Architecture: x86-64

Usually I don't boot mainline. My problem is not kernel-dependent.

ps aux | grep gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor
sudo journalctl -b

This dude broke it by skipping glib2 updates: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=245964

I really don't need this gnome shit and will go without gvfs in future.

Sorry for all of your time.

Be aware that gvfs will likely provide your FMs ability to mount external drives…

jinpin · 2019-05-23 22:32:39

No real pro uses automount. BTW my glib2 is 100 % okay.

This is not about automounting, but to mount a device from the GUI.
How about just posting the journal of an affected boot? If it's not glib2, there's perhaps still an issue w/ the session bus and that'll have more problems to it.
