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?

[adamw@adam fedfind (master)]$ rpm -q tracker

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'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 5 Debarshi Ray 2015-10-13 08:49:42 UTC 
I believe this (the tracker breakage) has since been fixed in F22.
