Description Christopher Beland 2026-01-15 23:57:50 UTC
Starting from the command line with "mediawriter" as documented at: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/preparing-boot-media/#_fedora_media_writer

I get the following warning messages:

W@267ms: qrc:/qml/DeviceWarningDialog.qml:54: TypeError: Cannot read property 'size' of null (qrc:/qml/DeviceWarningDialog.qml:54)
W@415ms: Failed to register with host portal QDBusError("org.freedesktop.portal.Error.Failed", "Could not register app ID: Connection already associated with an application ID")

The application does start up and appears to work normally.

Applications should not emit text unless they are malfunctioning; it's unclear to me whether this is a malfunction or a nuisance message.

This happens if I close the application and restart it the same way. The first time I close, after writing an ISO, I get an additional warning:

W@8762848ms: qrc:/qml/main.qml:168:5: QML DeviceWarningDialog: Binding loop detected for property "x":
qrc:/qml/DeviceWarningDialog.qml:34:5 (qrc:/qml/main.qml:168)

Closing a second time after not writing an ISO does not emit a warning at close time.

mediawriter-5.2.9-1.fc43.x86_64

Reproducible: Always

With mediawriter-5.3.0-1.fc43.x86_64, I now get on startup from the command line:

W@429ms: Failed to register with host portal QDBusError("org.freedesktop.portal.Error.Failed", "Could not register app ID: Connection already associated with an application ID")

The portal warning is from Qt itself, nothing we can do about. 

The other one appears to be a bug, I'm now investigating and trying to fix. Thanks for spotting this.
