GNOME - Nautilus - D-Bus problem

Hi! First of all, sorry for my bad English.
My Desktop Environment is GNOME. My problem has begun two days ago, when GNOME didn't open up correctly. I don't know if this is caused by an update or something else.

I use the command "startx" to start GNOME. When I launch it, X starts, the GNOME panel appears, but the wallpaper stays black. Sometimes the wallpaper appears, but there aren't icons on the desktop.

If I launch "nautilus" from a terminal, there is no output and nothing happens (but if I launch "sudo nautilus", a root browser windows appears correctly)
If I type CTRL+ALT+F1 I can see an infinite warning message that keeps to be printed continuously. This is what I could write down of the error:

GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor WARNING invoking list failed for type GProxyVolumeMonitor

I discovered that if I open a terminal and launch the following command, Nautilus appears and the error-loop stops.

sudo /etc/rc.d/dbus restart

I've already tried to delete my ".gnome", ".gnome2", ".gnome2_private" and ".local/share/gvfs-metadata/" directories, but the problem doesn't get fixed. The problem is system-wide, because this happens with other users too.

I added my user and root to "hal" and "dbus" groups, because "hal" couldn't start anymore at boot time. I've tried to enable the "testing" repository and updating the system, but this doesn't fix the problem neither.

This is my DAEMONS list from rc.conf:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !stbd !network dbus hal fam wicd netfs !crond)

(I know that "hal" launches automatically "dbus", so "dbus" could be omitted, but even if I disable it, the problem still remains.


Thank you in advance for your help and keep up the good work smile

Re: GNOME - Nautilus - D-Bus problem

Just a wild guess: Try to disable fam and install gamin instead.

Unfortunately that doesn't fix the problem. sad

By the way, KDE or any program just work well.

Re: GNOME - Nautilus - D-Bus problem

I only have a USB mouse connected. Even if I unplug it, the problem persists.
Without plugging it, I'm not able to switch on the touchpad using Fn+F7 (I'm using a laptop).

These are some errors that appears continuously in tty1:

GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: invoking List() failed for type GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

Liboobs-WARNING **: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

Re: GNOME - Nautilus - D-Bus problem

If I remove dbus and hal from the list, Nautilus starts correctly, but I'm not able to use the mouse nor the keyboard.

Please help me sad

Re: GNOME - Nautilus - D-Bus problem

I'm having exactly the same issue. Sometimes is see desktop icons and wallpaper after login, sometimes not. If not, i kill nautilus, it reopens itself and i get icons and wallpaper, but still no panels.

Re: GNOME - Nautilus - D-Bus problem

I found a workaround!

I just deleted the "devicekit-disks" package

pacman -Rd devicekit-disks

But this is a temporary cheat. They should fix this bug, but I don't know how and where file it.

Re: GNOME - Nautilus - D-Bus problem

With latest gnome-disk-utility, gnome seems to load too early when AutomaticLoginEnable=true in /etc/gdm/custom.conf (gdm is started from inittab).
If I restart X (re-login), then nautilus starts as it should.

--edit
Replaced gnome-disk-utility with gnome-mount-notify-osd and so far so good, except no automount for cd/dvd drive and usb sticks.

--edit
Nevermind, gnome-disk-utility is still needed by gvfs.

missing dependency for gvfs : gnome-disk-utility>=2.28.0

Re: GNOME - Nautilus - D-Bus problem

Sometimes, when opening gedit for example, this happens:
dRmPa.png

[hit@sahver Desktop]$ gedit 75513.user.js

(gedit:8957): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: invoking List() failed for type GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

(gedit:8957): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: New owner :1.1455 for volume monitor org.gtk.Private.GduVolumeMonitor connected to the bus; seeding drives/volumes/mounts

..and keeps repeating these two warnings until I kill it or restart dbus. After restarting dbus the window in question appears instantly.
