[GNOME 3.18] Google drive support working for anyone?

yahya96 · 2015-10-09 07:40:48

Hi,

I have upgraded two laptops to GNOME 3.18, on both of which I can't the the advertised Google drive support to work. First, I note that my Google accounts are marked as expired in Gnome Online Accounts, yet re-authenticating won't change a thing, only deleting and re-adding them makes them functional again.

Next clicking on my Google drive shares in the left pane of Nautilus (AKA Files) does nothing. Right-clicking and selecting "mount" yields a pop-up saying "An operation is already pending", a while on I get a timeout alert. Trying to mount the Google drive share from the "other places" view in Nautilus fails just the same. Even mounting my Owncloud share in Nautilus no longer works, it also times out, even though that's a simple Webdav share.

Unfortunately, syslog isn't very revealing, I see no information at all. Is there any place where gvfs writes debugging information?

Has anyone gotten it to work?

Cheers,

Yh

It's working for me. Do you have installed gvfs-goa and gvfs-google?

Exactly: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1565146

Sure I do. There seems to be a problem with timeouts occurring and it seems related to goa, I see messages like these: (gnome-calendar:9914): WARNING **: source_credentials_required_cb: Failed to authenticate '**@owncloud.******.org': Failed to lookup credentials: Failed to get password from GOA: Zeitüberschreitung wurde erreicht

"Zeitüberschreitung wurde erreicht" = Timeout reached

Mounting an ownCloud share manually using the WebDAV URI works just fine. So there is a problem with GOA I suppose.

yahya96 · 2015-10-09 09:03:06

actually as far as I am concerned, it' not just gvfs / nautilus which is affected but all applications that rely on G-O-A: Empathy, Evolution- gnome-contacts etc...
G-O-A only returns timeouts to all of them.

Same problem..
How to get unstable version of goa?

cris9288 · 2015-10-11 19:15:22

When I upgraded nothing was working for me. I had to do a pacman -S gnome gnome-extra to get everything to work correctly.

I don't think there is an unstable version at this moment

That's probably a different issue, because you need additional packages for google drive support to work: gvfs-goa and gvfs-google. They don't get automatically installed when you upgrade but do when you install the entire group. What I reported was something different, I had these packages installed and it wasn't working.

Angelsoul · 2015-10-13 10:22:53

I have a similar issue.
I have installed both (gvfs-goa and gvfs-google) and it still to be unable to mount. It said that the "mount action" is not implemented for this volume!

Edit:
Maybe this is a bug. If I click on "other locations", i can see my google drive account in "Network"
When I click on it nothing happens.
But if I click on it with right mouse and pick "Open in new Tab" or "Open in new window" The vfs is mounted perfectly and works like a charm!

mine was working fine until the upgrade from today. after that the google drive did not mount and i lost my network browsing ability. i rolled back to a couple of days ago and it worked again. i could not find anything in log to point to problem. for now i will block any further updates to the gvfs packages

dsreyes1014 · 2015-10-13 23:03:53

Mine stopped working after the 3.18 upgrade also.

Having the same issue. Hopefully they'll fix it quickly.

I can confirm this. Works like a charm when opening a new window or tab. Thanks!

I can also confirm that mounting from '+ Other Locations' under 'Networks' works.

reported this bug on bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756629

tracuboTL · 2015-10-15 15:57:39

same behavior here

markus40 · 2015-10-16 06:08:38

Mounting from 'Open in a new tab' in the context menu of 'Google Drive' in 'Other Locations' under 'Networks' works for me too. But copying a file into the Drive hangs Nautilus.

Switched back to 'Insync' for the moment.

tracuboTL · 2015-10-17 16:43:26

too bad I can't have preview of pictures/movie in the nautilus folder...

bleach · 2015-10-17 16:57:17

grive and jdrivesync have worked for me. grive has some issues resently though but jdrivesync workes without issue.

these just sync though so all they do is upload and download a clone if you will.

Upstream bug report filed @systemd:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1600

Seems to be related to the environment variable KDBUS, which is set to 0 by default on Archinux. But systemd doesn't set the correct permissions in such a case. Not sure if KDBUS-support is compiled in in the stock Archlinux kernel, but if it is, this problem should be fixed if you set the value to 1 in your bootloader. As I don't know what kind of side-effects this might have, please be careful. There are also custom-built kernels available through AUR, so those might present a safer bet then mucking about yourself with kernel parameters.

On my system this workaround pops up a dialog saying "Opening “gmail.com (google-drive)”." followed by "Unable to access location. permission denied".

A fix was released today in dbus-1.10.0-4

which seems to have fixed it on one of my laptops but not on the other one, which I now find really irritating. Both run the same kernel, but run the very latest stable packages, and yet on one it works, on the other it doesn't. How is that supposed to make sense?

fphillips · 2015-10-21 13:42:03

You have the optional packages installed on the other laptop?
