Dear Maintainer,

when I start some application, like gedit, I wait 30 seconds, to open.
From the terminal I see the following error

Error creating proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)

thanks in order to help me.

org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor is provided by gvfs-daemons, not
udisks2, so this bug report is misfiled.
It appears something is at odds with your dbus setup.

Which desktop environment do you use?
Do you have dbus-x11, dbus-user-session, libpam-systemd, gvfs-daemons
installed?
What's the output of busctl --user?

What about gsettings-desktop-schema?
Which version do you have installed?

It appears gvfs-daemons (more specifically gvfsudisks2volumemonitor) is
requiring the schema files from gsettings-desktop-schemas:

So you do have gsettings-desktop-schemas installed?
Then I'm out of ideas why you get the crash.
Maybe /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled is corrupt or not
up-to-date. Dunno.

Yet installed ... Thanks Michael for your support.
I will continue to try, perhaps by analyzing the logs and gvfs service

Control: retitle -1 gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor.service crashes: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system
Control: tags -1 + moreinfo unreproducible

Does this still occur?

Yes, it does; but it has an indirect hard dependency on those schemas,
so they should really be installed already.

gvfs-daemons
    -> Depends: gvfs-libs
         -> Depends: gsettings-desktop-schemas

I tried installing gvfs-daemons with only its required dependencies
(without Recommends) on a test system, and was unable to reproduce this
bug. gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor.service starts successfully.

Does /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled exist?

If it does, please copy it to
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled.old for later analysis,
then try reinstalling the gsettings-desktop-schemas package with:

    apt install --reinstall gsettings-desktop-schemas

and send the output to this bug address.

Thanks,

Given the above and that there has been no reply on the questions, let's
downgrade the severity.

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I experience 30 second startup delays for file browsing in Thunar. This occurs the first time a file-browsing dialog box is opened in most applications. Thereafter it does not re-occur, unless the application is terminated and restarted.

The problem is traced via ~/.xsession-errors to a timeout of org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor.

$ systemctl --user status gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor.service

shows in part

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Renaming the compiled schemas and reinstalling gsettings-desktop-schemas recreates the compiled schemas exactly, but does not resolve the bug.

Uninstalling all gvfs-related packages does remove the thunar startup delay, but removes desired functionality as well. Reinstalling the packages restores functionality but the startup-delays recur.

Sorry for the big delay.
Yes the file exists


If there are no errors for the new installation, I try to create a new user.
I created a new user on my linuxbox and the bug doesn't occur. It still
happens for my "gianluca" account

What is a variable or setting in the user profile to investigate?
How to fix this issue?

thanks in advance and best regards.

Hello,

I do not know if the following can help. So just in case.
I met the same problem recently on a xfce4 setup. Digging in the
bug reports I found this one that matches the same error messages I had.
I finally solved my problem noticing that it happened after modifying
the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable and after some some paths in that variable
were deleted on my system. Removing the non-existing
paths from XDG_DATA_DIRS variable solved my problem.
Therefore, it might be worth verifying if all paths in the XDG_DATA_DIRS
actually exit (or can be accessed).

Best regards
Pascal

HI
after much research and knowing that the problem does not arise on new
installations,
I searched for all the old configuration files
In the X11 folder /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ there were files from 2010 and
trying to associate each file with the package they were installed from..
 I found the file
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/20desktop-profiles_activateDesktopProfiles
belonging to the package
desktop-profiles

I fixed it by deleting the outdated package desktop-profiles and finally it
works without errors and without slowdowns!
I hope it's useful for those who have old debian installations ;-) and who
wisely keep upgrading

bye bye Gianluca
