[SOLVED] A Thunar issue..

falldown · 2012-05-05 18:06:35

When I access Thunar for the first time on a fresh boot on Waldorf It takes
about 35 seconds to open and then opens a second window automatically about 15 seconds later.
Thunar opens just fine after the initial attempt.

Any suggestions on what could be causing this?

That's interesting, as it should have been fixed since Statler. Must be the bug in gvfs-backends

sudo apt-get remove gvfs-backends

Try this, reboot, start thunar. If it still happens, reinstall gvfs-backends. In this case the reason is something else.

Thank you MB
I found another fix a few seconds ago..

geany /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount

and change AutoMount=true to AutoMount=false.

Which would you suggest?

I have noticed this too, but I have not been unable to replicate it with any type of accuracy, which makes debugging difficult. It would be good to know what is happening.

Oddly enough opening Thunar in terminal works fine.. I was hoping it would throw an error out.

After 2 fresh boots Thunar loaded all snappy.. minus the second window.
Cool Beans!!
Thanks MB!

EDIT Thanks for the link.. Am I right in saying that gvfs is used for file sharing over a network?

I had the same issue and changing the "network.mount" file fixed the issue for me.

But there is still a hang when clicking and mounting networks. Sounds like thats the problem. So recreating the issue might be dependant on having other computers on a network?

I had the same issue.

Removing the gvfs-backends and a reboot, problem solved.

Once again, thanks guys. smile Its a nice community.

I know the OP solved his problem, but I also know others like me will read this for a solution as well.
I lost too much for my taste when I took out gvfs-backends. My /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount was aleady set with Automount=false. I was seeing 35 second times to open Thunar the first time after a fresh boot. I also had a second window open about 15 seconds later.
My solution was to edit /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount.distrib and set Automount from =true to =false.
Now I get 3 to 4 second open times for Thunar. If I need network shares mounted, I can. However, when mounting the network shares, I get 35 to 40 seconds delay. That's a good trade-off for me.
