hello everyone,

i am new in the forum(loove wendel :)) and just today i got a problem.

i cant start the gnome-disk-utility and i am getting this:

$ gnome-disks

(gnome-disks:2088): GNOME-Disks-ERROR **: Error getting udisks client: Error calling StartServiceByName for   org.freedesktop.UDisks2: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.UDisks2': timed out
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

the OS is Antergos.
(this is my first time so if you need some more info tell me)

maybe you could try to purge and re-install the application?

i ran sudo pacman -Rsc and reinstalled but nothing.

Hey,

Are you allowed to start it with only user privileges? Tried sudo gnome-disks ?

I don't use udisks myself, so can't be of much help, but what does your system logs say?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/udisks

Actions a user can perform using udisks are restricted with Polkit.

Could be something related to user privilege then. Doesn't explain why you would get a timeout, rather than a more specific error message, though, so could be a red herring.

$ sudo gnome-disks

What happens if you type udisksctl status ?

Also check the wiki page I linked to in the edit above, if you haven't already : )

i think i was a case of "bad" electricity.
10 min ago the electricity went out.
a coffee maker was forgoten on and did trigger the safety at some point.
now with the coffemaker out of the way it is smooth sailing ;D.
everything works again. IDK but my pc is working.

how do i mark this as solved?
