30.1 started throwing GVFS warnings

[keeper791]

Continuing from #100

On Rocky Linux 8.10 servers:

Starting from 30.1 we see the following warnings thrown in the terminal everytime something is clicked in emacs.

For example: open Emacs, and click "open file", terminal where emacs was ran will show:

/snap/bin/emacs

(emacs:1004728): GVFS-WARNING **: 07:14:45.573: The peer-to-peer connection failed: Error when getting information for file “/run/user/1150993/gvfsd”: No such file or directory. Falling back to the session bus. Your application is probably missing --filesystem=xdg-run/gvfsd privileges.

It doesn't seem to break functionality, but we'd really prefer to have a clean shell, before having our users switch to 30.1

THANKS!

Thanks for reporting this as a separate issue - out of interest, I tried to reproduce this by installing a minimal rocky linux 8 VM and then installed a gui via:

dnf group install "Server with GUI" -y

But then if I run emacs in a terminal I don't see the aforementioned warnings, but instead we get something worse - when clicking File -> Open emacs crashes:

Can you describe a bit more how I can try and reproduce the original issue? I'll also see if there is some way we can workaround this second one...

[alexmurray]

Ah actually nevermind - I accidentally ran it as root - running as a regular user I see those warnings - AND THEN the crash:

[keeper791]

the show-type-column error is something i'm aware of , it's fixable by:

sudo cp /snap/emacs/current/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

That's yet another issue ... if that's something you can fix, I'll gladly file another bug :)

[alexmurray]

Yes I think I can come up with a workaround for that - but it may take a day or two. Will keep you posted.

[alexmurray]

To keep things cleaner, this issue will focus solely on the GFVS warnings and we will use #103 for the gsettings schema related issue.

[alexmurray]

I have just committed a fix and have triggered new builds of the snap which should be available in the beta channel within an hour - if you can please test it that would be great, then I can promote it to the stable channel.

[keeper791]

I can confirm that today's release of latest/beta 30.1 on Rocky Linux 8.10 is

1. not throwing the compile errors
2. not throwing the GVFS warnings

Alex, THANK YOU!

Looking forward to seeing this in stable channel, and resuming our fleet on the stable track

[alexmurray]

Thanks for the confirmation - will promote it to stable now!
