Description

Additional information : In order to verify that abrt indeed is the root cause, I've removed all abrt packages - after restart of the system the issue is gone. I checked it and I am able to reproduce it. I did a bisect and found out, that it starts to happen with commit https://github.com/abrt/abrt/commit/722ba44fa3d0665d68fecdade7b816d7c1a2d484 Assigning author of the commit The critical is unrelated and comes from somewhere else. Upstream fix https://github.com/abrt/abrt/pull/1354 There is a (new) file located in /etc/xdg/autostart which seems to be responsible for the problem. The file (from abrt) is linked to /usr/share/applications/org.freedesktop.problems.applet.desktop. Removing this file solves the problem - after restart no journalctl message and no strange folder. $ sudo locate org.freedesktop.problems.applet.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/org.freedesktop.problems.applet.desktop /usr/share/applications/org.freedesktop.problems.applet.desktop $ sudo rm /etc/xdg/autostart/org.freedesktop.problems.applet.desktop Same problem here since yesterdays update (F29 Workstation), renaming /usr/share/applications/org.freedesktop.problems.applet.desktop works as a work-around. (In reply to Axel Sommerfeldt from comment #6) > Same problem here since yesterdays update (F29 Workstation), renaming > /usr/share/applications/org.freedesktop.problems.applet.desktop works as a > work-around. Hi Axel, the renaming should remove the ABRT desktop icon from the GNOME GUI dash. Better remove the /etc/xdg/autostart/org.freedesktop.problems.applet.desktop file. The critical should go away if we stop using a symlink for the desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart. The “DBusActivatable=true” line is what seems to be causing it, even though I can’t explain how just yet. Until then, it’s perfectly fine to ignore it. Confirming it happened to me too. I was completely puzzled. For me, deleting the file mentioning above at /etc/xdg/autostart fixed it. I realized it was it because it started happening when I installed gnome desktop on my KDE setup. *** Bug 1665676 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I reinstalled Fedora 29 xfce yesterday and noticed the same thing. I will try the suggested solution and see how it goes. Thanks. I have tried the suggestion of removing the file and I deleted the weird folders and restarted my laptop. No more weird folders. Thank you. (In reply to chiguy1256 from comment #12) > I have tried the suggestion of removing the file and I deleted the weird > folders and restarted my laptop. No more weird folders. Thank you. You're welcome ! Let's hope that it's fixed completely in the next version. It's not only the folders, it's also about the error message in journalctl. Without the symbolic link file in /etc/xdg/autostart, both issues are gone.

Hi Ernestas, "The workaround has been mentioned enough times" ... well, seems not. The strange folders don't get created any more, but what about the error message ? I have updated abrt to version 2.11.1-3.fc29 (from the stable updates repository). I still have to remove /etc/xdg/autostart/org.freedesktop.problems.applet.desktop. Otherwise error GLib-CRITICAL: g_child_watch_add_full: assertion 'pid > 0' failed.

Does the critical actually affect you or is it just an annoyance? I already said that it’s harmless, so I’d rather see if it can be fixed at the source (which is gnome-session) before resorting to working around in abrt.

No affection, just an "annoyance" ... it's okay to fix it in gnome-session. As I said, I have removed the symlink file to get rid of the error message. |
