[SOLVED] Application gnome-disks does not start in Daedalus

Raulcla · 2025-06-01 10:17:26

I use Daedalus and I cannot start gnome-disks, whether with the applications-applet or on the console. Reinstalling the package does not help. I find in "dependencies" that a package appears as "damaged" ("Beschädigt: gnome-settings-daemon (<3.24)).

Perhaps this means that this last package should keep an older version (<3.24). The installed one is 43.0-1).

I don't have this problem on another computer with Chimaera, where the package works perfectly.

Thanks for help or tipps.

The gnome-disk-utility does not depend on the gnome-settings-daemon, in fact it's listed as breaking the settings daemon if you DO have it installed and the version is less than 3.24 I guess. Current version for the settings daemon is 43.0-4 in the repo.

I have the disk utiility on my systems and it works fine. I do not have the settings daemon installed at all on any of them, unless you are running GNOME for your DE it's not needed.

Are you running Gnome for your DE?

Thanks! No, I do not run Gnome, I use Mate.
So I tried uninstalling the gnome-settings-daemon and reinstalling the gnome-disk-utility.

But nothing changes, it just does not open. I look at dependencies in aptitude and I see that it "collides" with the 32-bit (i3...) version (which of course isn't installed). But I do not know how that is relevant.

What I get when I try to start the utility, for instance on the console, is the information (as .png:)

"Laufwerke" (Disks): "no application has been selected". The same happens
when I use de applet or the main menu + system tools.
No idea what can be wrong.

Weird, I use it in Mate all the time.

What happens if you try to start it in terminal?

Ohhhh, sorry.

It is actually there!

Starting on an terminal, I got what I thought was a png-error-image. Now I realize that it is actually the application - only in a collapsed form which can be expanded, maximized.
That was unfamiliar... specially since this is all in German. I think I will try to get Daedalus in English, so some problemas can be avoided.

Thank you very much!
