Message about the hanging app.

Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2023-05-24 13:38:08 UTC
Are you trying to run epiphany as root? You're on your own... don't ever run GUI apps as root.

Comment 3 Frank Büttner 2023-05-24 16:08:12 UTC
No, as an normal user.
So I don't know why it will try to access files under /root.
The same will happens when I try it to start via the gnome search bar.

Comment 4 Michael Catanzaro 2023-05-24 16:15:04 UTC
And you can't think of anything you've done that would cause applications to think that your home directory is /root?

Please run:

$ echo $HOME
$ echo $XDG_CACHE_HOME

Comment 5 Frank Büttner 2023-05-25 04:33:17 UTC
Open an new one will result in:
$ echo $HOME
/home/<USER>
$ echo $XDG_CACHE_HOME

$
So XDG_CACHE_HOME is empty.

Comment 6 Michael Catanzaro 2023-05-25 15:26:39 UTC
Couple more commands to try:

$ echo AT_SPI_BUS_ADDRESS

and:

$ gdbus call --session --dest org.a11y.Bus --object-path /org/a11y/bus --method org.a11y.Bus.GetAddress

Comment 7 Frank Büttner 2023-05-30 05:21:13 UTC
echo AT_SPI_BUS_ADDRESS
AT_SPI_BUS_ADDRESS
echo $AT_SPI_BUS_ADDRESS

gdbus call --session --dest org.a11y.Bus --object-path /org/a11y/bus --method org.a11y.Bus.GetAddress
('unix:path=/run/user/1000/at-spi/bus_0',)

all as an normal user.

Comment 8 Michael Catanzaro 2023-05-30 14:22:09 UTC
Well for some reason it thinks your accessibility bus is /root/.cache/at-spi/bus_0 rather than /run/user/1000/at-spi/bus_0. But I'm out of ideas as to why. Here is what I do know though:

$ gdbus call --session --dest org.a11y.Bus --object-path /org/a11y/bus --method org.a11y.Bus.GetAddress
('unix:path=/run/user/1000/at-spi/bus',)

$ sudo gdbus call --session --dest org.a11y.Bus --object-path /org/a11y/bus --method org.a11y.Bus.GetAddress
('unix:path=/root/.cache/at-spi/bus_0',)

Sure looks like that's what happens if you try running as root. If you can figure out what's going wrong, please do update here. I'd be curious to know.

Comment 9 Frank Büttner 2023-05-31 04:58:30 UTC
I have tried both commands, and I will see same results.

Comment 10 Aoife Moloney 2023-11-23 01:44:57 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 37 on 2023-12-05.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '37'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 37 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 11 Aoife Moloney 2024-01-15 12:15:47 UTC
Fedora Linux 37 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-12-05.

Fedora Linux 37 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.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

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