[SOLVED}-Error when gio mounting my phone

levi · 2021-09-27 21:19:31

When I gio mount my phone to transfer mp3s to it, it currently stalls to begin with and prints out this error:

Error creating proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)

But after that timeout the device is mounted and accessible.
When I try to umount it I get:

(gio mount:2152): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: 16:04:38.430: remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor is not supported

When I try to run the process again, I get the latter warning at the mount and umount stages, but that takes an inappreciable time to complete, so apart from the noise that's not a problem any more. It's not really much strife at all, just a wait for the timeout the first time you use it, but perhaps it indicates a wider problem.

Nothing there jumps out at me as being responsible for this timeout, but the timing indicates it's this update that cause it, I think.

yeah, only the kernel seems relevant, here (on first glance) - maybe, you can try booting an old(er) kernel (e.g. downgrade it) and see, whether the issue still pops up - if not, we can diff the config of the kernels and look for issues, there

Good idea, I've switched out to 5.14.5 which I was running previously for a few weeks without this behaviour. I'll turn my computer off now, and I'll be transferring mp3s to my phone tomorrow for sure.

So, no, just downgrading the kernel produced the same error when mounting my phone. I don't think I got this timeout before Monday's update but I can't be certain of that.

My next suspicion was libblockdev. I've downgraded that and my mount is still producing those warnings. I assumed I don't need to reboot to be using that new old code, unlike the kernel, but perhaps not.

Edit: Yes, downgrading both the kernel and libblockdev and rebooting cleared the timeout and subsequent warning. Downgrading the kernel alone didn't, so it looks like a gotcha in libblockdev to me.

Seems my update last night fixed this. New libblockdev seems to have fixed it.
