Dear D.R.,
I've found that on many recent GNOME desktops some of the functionality
regarding e.g. online accounts was not working out of the box while being
in TurboVNC session.
That seems to be an issue of the org.freedesktop.secrets component.
That was also causing some long initial gnome terminal start.
I've solved it by adding the next lines to the startup script:
_USER_BUS_SOCKET="/run/user/$(id -u)/bus"
if [ -S "$_USER_BUS_SOCKET" ]; then
# Only override if we aren't already pointing to it
if [ "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" != "unix:path=$_USER_BUS_SOCKET" ];
then
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=$_USER_BUS_SOCKET"
fi
export TVNC_USERDBUS=1
if command -v dbus-update-activation-environment >/dev/null 2>&1; then
dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd --all
fi
fi
Hope that it could be helpful.
This fixes e.g. initial long wait while gnome terminal is initiating.
Kind regards,
Nick
