Bug 717392 – gnome-base/gnome-3.34.4: Regression: Cannot open LUKS encrypted devices anymore

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: UNCONFIRMED ---

[Description Fabian Köster 2020-04-14 06:40:46 UTC]

With GNOME 3.32 I could open hard drives encrypted using LUKS directly from Nautilus by clicking on them, entering the password and the system would automatically decrypt and mount the device.

After upgrading to GNOME 3.34 using the package list from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=717144 this is not possible anymore. After clicking on the drive I get an error message saying "Auf ... kann nicht zugegriffen werden: Eine Operation steht noch aus" (German). I assume in Englishe it is something like "Device ... cannot be accessed: An operation is still pending".

But I can wait as long as I want, it won't open.

Reproducible: Always

Do you have any ideas what could be wrong here, like you had for the user switch issue? :)

[Comment 2 Fabian Köster 2020-04-14 10:35:33 UTC]

I just noticed there is a log entry in the journal saying:

Apr 14 12:27:10 hamilton gnome-shell[13754]: JS ERROR: TypeError: disksApp is null
                                             _init@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/shellMountOperation.js:409:20
                                             _onAskPassword@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/shellMountOperation.js:136:28



By googling it I found: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1815

There it says I need to install gnome-disk-utiliy.

After doing so, it actually does work again!

Question remains if there is a bug in gentoo or not. Currently there is no use flag like "cryptsetup" on the gnome-shell package so actually I cannot really expect it to work out of the box. It was just luck that it was working before :-)

But we could think about adding a new use-flag "cryptsetup" that adds a conditional dependency on sys-apps/gnome-disk-utility. What do you say?

But as the problem can easily be solved by emerging gnome-disk-utility, I am also fine with just closing this ticket.

[Comment 3 Mart Raudsepp 2020-04-14 10:52:13 UTC]

Yeah, not sure. gnome metas do pull it in at least.

I'm a bit confused how gnome-shell gets involved here, while you described nautilus, but the upstream issue is indeed gnome-shell complaining.

I'll try to look inside gnome-shell usage a bit later, lets leave this open until then, but there's no emergency here at least then.
