[SOLVED] Various programs crash when trying to open a FileChooser

Hey,

since my last complete system update I have a problem I'm not yet able to solve: Always when trying to access a filechooser dialogue (like "save as" or "open") from Firefox, Thunderbird or LibreOffice the program instantly closes. In the case of Firefox I can send an error report that contains  the following details:

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.

That unfortunately doesn't help me at all. I continued to open Firefox from the console where I got the following message after the crash:

[user@computer ~]$ firefox

(firefox:5570): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 15:08:10.308: Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' does not contain a key named 'show-type-column'

ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...
Exiting due to channel error.
Exiting due to channel error.
Exiting due to channel error.
Trace/Breakpoint ausgelöst (Speicherabzug geschrieben)

This led me to this thread which made me search for gschema files on my system:

[user@computer ~]$ find / -path /proc -prune -o -iname '*FileChooser*.gschema.xml'
...many paths without access right
/proc
find: ‘/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d’: Keine Berechtigung
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml
find: ‘/etc/sudoers.d’: Keine Berechtigung
...many more paths without access right

So I seem to have only one FileChooser gschema file on my system which excludes reading of another file without the missing key 'show-type-column'. I then tried to find out the value of XDG_DATA_DIRS:

[user@computer ~]$ echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS

[user@computer ~]$

This makes me think the variable is empty which might be the error. So my questions are: Am I right so far? Is there a simple solution for the problem I don't see?

Thanks in advance!

I forgot to mention that the found file (/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml) contains the key from the error message. In case this is helpful to anyone, here is the file:

Re: [SOLVED] Various programs crash when trying to open a FileChooser

Ok I tried manually setting XDG_DATA_DIRS to the folder /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

[user@computer ~]$ export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
[user@computer ~]$ echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

Unfortunately this just replaces the error with the following, which is actually even more difficult for me to interpret...

Re: [SOLVED] Various programs crash when trying to open a FileChooser

$ pacman -F org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml
extra/gtk3 1:3.24.16-1 [installed]
    usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml
$

That file belongs to gtk3, could be  a problem with your gtk3 instalaltion.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XD … irectories describes XDG_DATA_DIRS
You should check what it is just after logging in .
The export you used proably made things harder to find for firefox.

since my last complete system update

AdapterDriverVendor: mesa/i965
AdapterDriverVersion: 19.3.4.0

mesa 20.0.2-1 was moved to extra on 2020-03-30 08:26:31 , when was your last pacman -Syu ?

Re: [SOLVED] Various programs crash when trying to open a FileChooser

Hey again,

thanks for taking the time, I'll answer one by one:

  • XDG_DATA_DIRS after logging in seems to be empty:

    [user@computer ~]$ echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS

[user@computer ~]$

  • Last system update was on the 15th of march.

  • However I'm a little suspicious there because of the pacman -F output (thanks for that hint!):

    [user@computer ~]$ sudo pacman -F org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml
extra/gtk3 1:3.24.16-1 [Installiert: 1:3.24.14+9+g429a6287e0-1]
    usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml

    This looks like there's an old version installed... So I made another full update and indeed there were new versions present.

And also indeed: Now the filechooser appears again and the applications work as expected.

So thanks Lone_Wolf for your hint and time!
