Gnome applications slow start due to failing services
Gnome applications started to take around 20 seconds to start. The logs show that this is the cause of the delay when starting nautilus:

EDIT: The app opens instantaneously as root, but according to the logs it will fails to start those services, but it just times out immediately

Re: Gnome applications slow start due to failing services
I have this same issue. I switched to i3wm with no login manager yesterday, so I wasn't sure if that was the issue. Nautilus, calculator, etc. take 20-30s to load.
Running 4.10-8.

Re: Gnome applications slow start due to failing services
I opened an issue https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop- … /issues/72 and the solution seems to be adding
dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DISPLAY XAUTHORITYto .xinitrc or .xsession .

Re: Gnome applications slow start due to failing services
Thanks, dumblob! After stumbling upon this 2 years later, I wonder: who should fix this? The packager?
At the very least, this should be documented in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Flatpak, shouldn't it?

Re: Gnome applications slow start due to failing services
defeo, you can add
source /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.shto the appropriate file to handle these variables. I think this is what you lose when you switch to a window manager from a desktop environment.
Or better, source all the xinit scripts, with
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*.sh; do
source "$f"
done“In science it often happens that scientists say, ‘You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,’ and then they actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again… I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.” —Carl Sagan, 1987 CSICOP keynote address

Re: Gnome applications slow start due to failing services
This has been annoying me for a long time too. Thanks for the hint: that fixes it. (But... why not fix it in GTK? plain X11 sessions really ought to be ok)

Re: Gnome applications slow start due to failing services
You need to have a working DBUS session in general, this isn't really something to be fixed in GTK. Or you'd do these kind of workarounds for every utility and toolkit wanting to use DBUS
