 Posted: Wed May 24, 2023 3:50 am Post subject: [SOLVED]graphical-session.target not starting with gdm/bspwm |
 |
|
There are certain applications that I use that within the last few weeks seem to take a long time to open. This includes opening a new application (eg. pavucontrol, easyeffects), or opening a new window in an already open app (eg. composing an email in evolution). I am currently using GDM and bspwm. I have seen these in journald whenever this happens:
| Code: |

May 23 22:06:20 myhost systemd[1877]: graphical-session.target is inactive.

Usually at this point the window opens, but I do see these a bit later:
| Code: |
May 23 22:07:10 myhost xdg-desktop-por[140605]: Failed to create settings proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.impl.portal.desktop.gnome: Timeout was reached

These log entries started after I did a system update 2023/05/05. There was quite a few packages updated on that date, but I do see that GDM along with a bunch of other gnome stuff was updated. Thinking maybe it was GDM that was the issue, I tried it with SDDM, but the result was the same. However, when I logged into a KDE wayland instead things worked as expected. Thinking maybe this was an X vs Wayland issue, I tried installing sway, but the issue with slow loading windows came back.
In KDE/Plasma, I do see that graphical-session.target is started, but that is not the case in bspwm/sway.
I cannot start graphical-session.target on my own, it can only be started as a dependency, which seemingly xdg-desktop-portal-gnome.service is trying to do, but unsuccessfully.

So, it turns out the culprit was xdg-desktop-portal-gnome. The key line in my logs was "xdg-desktop-por[3100]: Failed to create settings proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.impl.portal.desktop.gnome: Timeout was reached" That lead me to this post: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/986. Apparently the update to gnome 44 broke that.
I switched to SDDM so I can uninstall GDM (only thing depending on xdg-desktop-portal-gnome, which was also uninstalled), and now things are working as expected. It would seem that there's a workout to switch to dbus-broker, but I went for the scorched earth option. |
