Description Fabio Valentini 2015-05-12 17:46:03 UTC

Description of problem:
gdm's gnome session starts gvfsd (and friends) and goa-daemon as user "gdm" - and I think they are not necessary for the login screen.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-3.16.1.1-1.fc22.x86_64
gnome-session-3.16.0-1.fc22.x86_64


How reproducible:
- Start f22 workstation
- login to GNOME (X or wayland session)
- look for gdm's processes
- find out that it has started it's own set of gvfs and goa processes


Additional info:
this may have to do with the fact that gdm-session-worker calls gnome-session with the --session gnome-wayland switch (which may pull in desktop services / daemons?)


output of "ps -u gdm":

  963 tty1     00:00:00 gvfs-goa-volume
  966 tty1     00:00:00 goa-daemon

gvfs and goa add up to about 10 MBs of additional RAM usage (which is not a lot, but still)

Comment 1 Christian Stadelmann 2015-07-12 09:28:25 UTC

In my case it also starts org.gtk.Private.Telepathy.AccountManager (mission-control).
Does GDM really need XWayland?

For reference, this appears to be the same as 1048471 which was closed EOL.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 14:05:10 UTC

Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
