Bug ID: 14739
Summary: Xfce Desktop File Management Errors as Root
Classification: Xfce Core
Product: Thunar
Version: 1.8.2
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Medium
Component: Desktop
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.8.3
When running under Xfce as 'root', if you attempt to copy and paste
a file to the desktop, it will fail with the following nofication:
"Failed to activate service 'org.xfce.FileManager': timed out
(service_start_timeout=120000ms)."
Further, if you attempt to delete a file from the Desktop, it will fail,
or if you attempt to rename a file on the Desktop, it will fail.
You can move a file around, and you can open a folder or a file successfully,
but you can't do anything that involves writing/updating the directory.
It is important to note, that if you bring up a Thunar instance, and select
the Desktop from the sidepanel, you can successfully perform all of these
operations from within the Thunar instance.
Happens under Slackware-current and Arch Linux. Under Slackware-current,
it happens under 32 and 64 bit versions.
Under Slackware-current it showed up when Thunar 1.8.2 was introduced.
