GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 786559
Gnome opens but closes immediately
Last modified: 2018-01-11 10:59:04 UTC
I am using Arch Linux with the 4.12.8-1 Linux kernel. I installed Gnome-boxes using pacman (Arch Linux's binary package manager) and it worked nicely in the beginning, but after a few days it stopped working. Everytime I launch Gnome-boxes, the main window opens, shows the loading animation for a few seconds and then closes. When I ran it using a terminal it displayed the following message: (gnome-boxes:20899): Boxes-CRITICAL **: media-manager.vala:190: Error connecting to Tracker: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Tracker1 was not provided by any .service files (gnome-boxes:20899): Libvirt.GObject-CRITICAL **: gvir_storage_vol_get_info: assertion 'GVIR_IS_STORAGE_VOL(vol)' failed [1] 20899 segmentation fault (core dumped) gnome-boxes I then tried to compile it from source, and got an error message upon launching it once again: (gnome-boxes:20541): Boxes-CRITICAL **: media-manager.vala:190: Error connecting to Tracker: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Tracker1 was not provided by any .service files (gnome-boxes:20541): Libvirt.GObject-CRITICAL **: gvir_storage_vol_get_info: assertion 'GVIR_IS_STORAGE_VOL(vol)' failed [1] 20541 segmentation fault (core dumped) ./gnome-boxes Running ./gnome-boxes --check results in the following message: (gnome-boxes:20989): Boxes-WARNING **: util-app.vala:250: Failed to execute child process ?restorecon?
