Complete!

start gnome-documents in a directory containing PDFs


[herrold@centos-7 ~]$ pwd
/home/herrold
[herrold@centos-7 ~]$ ls *pdf
201802-IB-subscriptions.pdf  select_tut.pdf



Actual results:

One gets the error:

[herrold@centos-7 ~]$ gnome-documents
Gjs-Message: JS LOG: Error indexing the getting started PDF: Filesystem miner is not active

[herrold@centos-7 ~]$ 



Expected results:

no std out  / std err noise

AND and enable needed helper application which is started when gnome-documents starts, and is quelled / killed when it is exited

Comment 2 Tomas Pelka 2018-04-10 18:51:12 UTC 
Rhel7.5 was released today, is there any chance you would be able to check with rhel7.5? There was lot of gnome-documents improvements and bug fixes made in rhel7.5.

Thanks
-Tom
Comment 3 Debarshi Ray 2020-02-12 15:13:12 UTC 
Yes, the improvements for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791518 that were added in RHEL 7.5 might have helped with this bug.

However, RHEL 7 is approaching its Extended Life Cycle Support phase; and GNOME Documents is only weakly maintained upstream. Given the non-critical nature of this bug, it's not fit for RHEL 7 anymore, and GNOME Documents isn't part of RHEL 8.
Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2020-02-12 15:13:20 UTC 
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by using your Red Hat support channels, who will make certain  the issue receives the proper prioritization with product and development management.
