[SOLVED] XFCE xfdesktop and thunar start very slow

Hi,

I've made an update about two weeks ago and after that xfdesktop and thunar need more than 10 seconds to start. On boot after log in I see my apps running, but the desktop is ready after 10-15 seconds. When I try to run thunar I have to wait more than 15 seconds and I get two Thunar windows. My system is up to date.

Running xfdesktop -e I see

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

This blocks startup, but I don't know what does it mean.

My xfdesktop version is 4.12.3, Gtk+ 2.24.28, thunar 1.6.10, Xfce 4.12.

Thanks for help

org.gtk.vfs.AfcVolumeMonitor should be part of gvfs-afc. Try installing/reinstalling it.

Kinda odd that thunar hangs because of it though. gvfs-afc provides support for apple mobile devices. Do you have one connected on your pc?

I've removed that package and it helps. Year or more ago I had tried to connect my iPad to some music players, but I failed. No devices was being connected to the computer when the problem occurred.

Thank you very much ooo
