[SOLVED]Problem with Thunar

Vergil · 2025-10-12 16:40:51

I have a problem with Thunar. When I launch Thunar, my disks are not mounted automatically and are not displayed in Thunar itself. When I decided to launch it via the console, I got the following message:

invoking IsSupported() failed for remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor:: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not activate remote peer ‘org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor’: startup job failed (g-dbus-error-quark, 3)

Help. Does anyone know what to do about this?

Welcome to the forum.

Xfce should automatically start gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor.service (from the gvfs package) during startup.

Are there any errors related to its startup?

 $ systemctl --user status gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor
 $ journalctl --user -b0 -u gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor

How do you start Xfce?

Also, please name topics in a manner that describes the issue. “Problem” says nothing. That also includes renaming this one, thanks.

I'm new to this and can't say exactly what the problem is, so I'll just paste the logs directly from the console:
systemctl --user status gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor:

I use Hyprland as a window composer, but I installed separate programs from Xfce (such as Thunar) as separate components.

Edit1. For some reason, the problem disappeared when I restarted my computer a couple of times in a row.

Mere rebooting will not fix

Fixed how? re/installing libbluray?

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

This was fixed by restarting the system. I also logged into another OS to check if everything was okay with the disk, and when I logged back in, the error was no longer there. Thank you for your help.
