Description Adam Williamson 2015-01-09 18:04:31 UTC

Running Photos on current Rawhide (F22) results in a big red stop sign with the message:

Unable to fetch the list of photos
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

at a console, I see:

[adamw@adam python-pyspf (f21 %)]$ gnome-photos

Still valid today. Any news?

This indicates that there is a problem with the tracker installation because it is failing to launch org.freedesktop.Tracker1.Miner.Extract over D-Bus.

I recall seeing a few upstream bug reports about tracker's D-Bus service files being busted after a few things were moved about in the source tree. What version of tracker do you have?

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2015-02-09 17:38:05 UTC

[adamw@adam fedfind (master)]$ rpm -q tracker
tracker-1.3.3-1.fc22.x86_64
[adamw@adam fedfind (master)]$ ps aux | grep track
adamw    10948  0.0  0.0 113092  2556 pts/5    S+   09:37   0:00 grep --color=auto track

Comment 4 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 16:41:12 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 5 Debarshi Ray 2015-10-13 08:49:42 UTC

I believe this (the tracker breakage) has since been fixed in F22.
