glib-networking not found by Gnome ?

glib-networking not found by Gnome ?

[Jérémy Korwin-Zmijowski]

Hello Guixters !

I want to use the Gnome feature to synchronize data from/to a NextCloud
account.

So I filled the required fields (server, username, password) in Gnome
parameters.

Then in Nautilus, I tried to open the remote file system which is
listed in the list of the left but all I got is this pop-up saying :

"TLS/SSL support not available : Install glib-networking"

OK let's install glib-networking, reboot, but still the pop-up spawns.

Looking for informations online, I read it can be because some libs are
not in the expected path. Maybe something related to GIO_EXTRA_MODULES
?

Anyone had this issue and hopefully solved it ?

Cheers,
Jérémy

Hi Jérémy,

You need to install glib as well :)
It should add a GIO_EXTRA_MODULES entry in the etc/profile.

Cheers!

Hello Pierre,

Thank you for your help.

Despite the several package conflicts I had (meld, polari, gnucash) when installing glib, it didn't fix the issue. I still have the pop up with the error message.

Do I have to install glib as root maybe ?

What's in the etc/profile of your profile?

It should have something like

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=\
"${GUIX_PROFILE:-/gnu/store/2amj32ic81b9inf32a88y8gg5y7019wx-profile}/lib/gio/modules${GIO_EXTRA_MODULES:+:}$GIO_EXTRA_MODULES"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

since the glib package definition has this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   (native-search-paths
    ;; This variable is not really "owned" by GLib, but several related
    ;; packages refer to it: gobject-introspection's tools use it as a search
    ;; path for .gir files, and it's also a search path for schemas produced
    ;; by 'glib-compile-schemas'.
    (list (search-path-specification
           (variable "XDG_DATA_DIRS")
           (files '("share")))
          ;; To load extra gio modules from glib-networking, etc.
          (search-path-specification
           (variable "GIO_EXTRA_MODULES")
           (files '("lib/gio/modules")))))
   (search-paths native-search-paths)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Maybe try to install gsettings-desktop-schemas, see if that helps.

Looks like it's here :

   $ cat ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile | grep GIO
   export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES="${GUIX_PROFILE:-
   /gnu/store/z2d3rjsa97y2wh9amzhr577yi6snvv9d-
   profile}/lib/gio/modules${GIO_EXTRA_MODULES:+:}$GIO_EXTRA_MODULES"

Still not OK, even after a reboot.
