[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1998680] Re: The latest update to xdg-desktop-portal causes caja plugins to throw thousands of errors filling the syslog
Bill Miller, this is promising research. We just tried reverting two systems based on your Ask Ubuntu answer, which is what I think Dan saw. We don't have an older version of xdg-desktop-portal-gtk to revert to on our 22.04 systems, but we reverted various combinations of xdg-desktop- portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gnome and the syslog spam continued. We then re-applied both updates and on one system the messages stopped (at least as of now). On the other system they continued. Very strange. So there's some interaction with what's happening to Dan and me. Thanks for your work on this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xdg-desktop-portal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1998680 Title: The latest update to xdg-desktop-portal causes caja plugins to throw thousands of errors filling the syslog Status in xdg-desktop-portal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After updates this month to my Ubuntu 20.04 system running MATE desktop with snapd removed.
