Package: udisks2
Version: 2.6.5-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Upon an upgrade in sid, my computer gave a message, something like "disk manager failed" or something like that, and also "see systemctl status udisks2.service". When trying to boot into KDE Plasma I had no taskbar and could not open programs with alt+f2 that I was aware of. I appear to have fixed the problem by downgrading udisks2 to testing, in that I now have a functioning GUI again.

This is essentially a +1 message and downgrading udisks2 + libudisks2-0 to the
testing version fixed it for me too

udisks2 2.7.2-1 also severely impacted the functionality of thunar on
sid. All filesystems were shown in the sidebar, including things like
binfmt (about 20-30 or so filsystems). Removable devices were not shown,
and no eject icon was shown when removable devices were mounted at the
command line. Workaround was to downgrade to 2.6.5-2. Before filing a
separate bug report, I will see if the fix for this issue resolves the
thunar issues.

Downgrade and hold procedure for the benefit of other readers:

I added the following to /etc/apt/source.list:
deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20170827T034402Z/ sid main

Then ran the following to downgrade and hold:

apt-get update
apt-get install udisks2=2.6.5-2 libudisks2-0=2.6.5-2
apt-mark hold udisks2 libudisks2-0

A system restart was required.

Kind regards,

Exactly the same issue on Cinnamon. Cinnamon starts very long and I
can see following in xsession log:

Error creating proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName
org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor Timeout was reached

However, Cinnamon finally boots after timeout. But, as somebody
mentioned above, all unneceassary devices like systemd are visible in
file manager. Please make this bug serious. For now, need to downgrade
udisks2 to Testing version.

This solves issue for me as well. aprropriate libblockdev-* libs
should be added as
required by udisks2

Hi,

this does not fix it for me, I still get a complain:
udisksd[15752]: udisks daemon version 2.7.2 starting
udisksd[15752]: Cannot load the part plugin: The 'sgdisk' utility is
not available
udisksd[15752]: Error initializing libblockdev library: Failed to load
plugins (g-bd-init-error-quark, 0)
systemd[1]: udisks2.service: Main process exited, code=killed,
status=5/TRAP
systemd[1]: Failed to start Disk Manager.
systemd[1]: udisks2.service: Unit entered failed state.
systemd[1]: udisks2.service: Failed with result 'signal'.

It seems to me, that 'gdisk' is a non obligatory dependency too and
indeed installing 'gdisk' makes udisks2 start again.

Cheers,
Julian

Thanks for your feedback.

This is an issue in libblockdev-part2 package which needs that dependency.
(Long-term even better would likely be to port away from gdisk usage
and spawning cli commands at all.)

I'll fix that up, but feel free to file a (severity serious) bug report
on libblockdev-part2....

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson

hi
Dear maintainer

Problem also present since the update of udisks2
Debian Sid Cinnamon 3.2.7-4 kernel 4.12
As explained above

- all mounted volumes appear in Nemo and on the desktop.
- can not mount external hard disks, USB key, or other partitions on the internal hard drive.
- Gnome-disk-utility does not open.
- Gparted does not give me the possibility to mount my external supports usb.
(See screenshot).
- and once the password entered in Lightdm, Cinnamon is extremely slow to launch (almost a minute)

severity 873627 serious
thanks

I'm afraid this last upload does not fixes the issue. I don't know
what's the real problem but I had to go back to testing's udisks2 to
be able to use Plasma.
