Description

I noticed that whilst starting geeqie and gthumb both apps hang at start-up. So I went into a debugging session with claude.ai we figured out that it was indeed linked to apps linked to libclutter. All other apps work OK.

Running geeqie from strace results in lots of output like this:

poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN}], 1, -1)    = 1 ([{fd=6, revents=POLLIN}])
recvmsg(6, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\35\0\0\0\0\0\f\0\371Y\1\0\1\0\0\0\1\0\f\0\35\0\0\0", iov_len=1272}, {iov_base="", iov_len=2824}], msg_iovlen=2\
, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC}, MSG_DONTWAIT|MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = 24
recvmsg(6, {msg_namelen=0}, MSG_DONTWAIT|MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
sendmsg(6, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\1\0\0\0\0\0\f\0\35\0\0\0", iov_len=12}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_DONTWAIT|MSG_NOSIGN\
AL) = 12

And geeqie and hyprland both share 50% cpu load.

runningWAYLAND_DEBUG=1 geeqie results in lots of output like this:

[3708434.729] {Default Queue} wl_callback#29.done(92253)
[3708434.733] {Default Queue}  -> wl_display#1.sync(new id wl_callback#29)
[3708434.759] {Display Queue} wl_display#1.delete_id(29)
[3708434.764] {Default Queue} wl_callback#29.done(92253)
[3708434.768] {Default Queue}  -> wl_display#1.sync(new id wl_callback#29)
[3708434.793] {Display Queue} wl_display#1.delete_id(29)

I hope you can reproduce this problem.

So I went into a debugging session with claude.ai

oh gawd, geeqier seems to launch fine for me though

my guess is a dbus timeout from a misconfigured portal or something.

Not a hyprland issue

Do you have any suggestions on how to figure out what's going wrong here? I haven't configured the portals at all.

[vaxerski]

that might be your problem then. No clue, I don't know your system. One thing I know is that it's not a hyprland issue
