Description Ferdinand Brahe 2019-01-26 08:11:22 CET
Right after arch linux upgrade to Thunar 1.8.3-2
I get the following message:

(thunar:3548): thunar-CRITICAL **: 07:34:20.348: Name »org.freedesktop.FileManager1« auf dem Nachrichten-dbus verloren, wird beendet.

translation: 07:34:20.348: Name »org.freedesktop.FileManager1«  lost message-dbus, terminating

and Thunar does not start.

I am running arch with deepin desktop. I do have the deepin file manager installed but prefer thunar, which is set as the default file manager. When I downgrade to thunar 1.8.2-2 everthing works again.

Thanks for a great file manager!!

Thanks for reporting! 

There is a ongoing discussion on Bug #12414 which possibly is related.

Please check if you have the file:
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.File Manager1.service
( or possibly org.xfce.Thunar.FileManager1.service )

If so, removing this file and than re-login should preliminary fix your problem.

My guess is, that some other FileManager as well claims the same DBus Service.
I'll check what I can do about it.

Do you get this message at startup ? Or on every thunar launch ? Or only if you use the org.freedesktop.FileManager1 service ?

Ok, I can reproduce the bug by first starting nautilus, and than starting thunar. (First make sure that thunar daemon is down with thunar -q )

Created attachment 8269 
dont exit on name-lost

Attached patch will stop thunar from exiting on lost freedesktop.Filemanager1 dbus name.
Just a warning will be printed.

Planning to release this patch soon as 1.8.4, since it is a critical problem.
