Cannot create trash applet on Panel as 'root'
Status:
RESOLVED: MOVED

Comments

Description Davemac 2018-10-06 03:26:38 CEST
When running as 'root' , if you attempt to create the 'trash' applet on a panel, you will receive the following notification:
    "Failed to connect to the Trash: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.xfce.FileManager. Timeout was reached."
Occurs on both Slackware-current and Arch Linux distributions. With Slackware-current, it occurs in both 32 and 64 bit versions.
It has been tested on Ryzen 7, AMD-FX8350, and Intel i7 architectures.
It appears to be Thunar-related, in that the problem didn't show up in -current, until Thunar 1.8.2 was introduced
Thunar Version: 1.8.2
thunar-volman: 0.8.1
xfce4-panel:4.12.2

Running a xfce session as root, I found via d-feet that it is possible to query org.xfce.Thunar but not org.xfce.FileManager. Possible due how that last dbus name is registered:

What was the previous Thunar version you were using, 1.6.x or 1.8.0/1?
