JS ERROR: Gio.DBusError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownProperty:

[tlo8640]

Hello,

first, thank you very much for providing this very helpful extension. I really appreciate your maintaining and developing over the last gnome version. Without this Extension, my user expierience would be much worse.

I'm not sure since when, but I think, with one of the 2 last updates(45 or 46) this extension started to fill system log with the following error message:

I'm using Debian Testing, with gnome 42.4 A couple of gnome libraries re already moved to version 43. If you need the version of selected librries for going deeper (if this issue is important enough to do it) I can provide it, but there are to many libraries for the gnome desktop for being sure wich one is needed in this case and post everything here.

Thank you very much and best regards Thomas

Those are just debugging bits, but indeed we can mute them in some cases.

[tlo8640]

Hello, thank you for your response. Ah okay, that reduces my panic mode to a normal level.. ;-) Sure, debugging output is important, for developing or at least debugging ;-) It also helps when submitting issues. But if everything is working I'd like to not see them ;-) at least, this message comes very often... 2 times per minute Perhaps it could be a possibility, to enable/disable debug output somehow in the settings window? Thank you very much for your work Thomas

I cherry-picked 00f30a1 into my local version and I'm still getting those messages:

Is this expected or do I need another commit?

[MaxXor]

Will there be a new release with this fix included? It's spamming the logs on Arch Linux with GNOME 43.

[darkblaze69]

This is still happening at least with telegram app launched. A lot of spamming in log with this error. Extension v46 on GNOME 43.

[darkblaze69]

I have upgraded to github master version, and spamming gone. Thanks

[julian-alarcon]

It seems to be happening again https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/issues/445

[b3]

Is there a way to stop seeing these messages in logs under Debian 12.2 (Gnome 43.6, Extension v46-1)?

[cweiske]

@b3 Uninstall the apt package via

$ apt purge gnome-shell-extension-appindicator

and then install it from the extensions website: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/

[b3]

@cweiske Thank's I just tried that.

After a reboot it seems to have stopped the trouble. I'll watch my log to ensure it is permant.
