Tracker for applications using --filesystem=xdg-run/gvfs #2180

hadess · 2021-03-26T11:59:48Z

Flatpak documentation: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html#gvfs-access

Starting with gvfs 1.48, GNOME gvfs daemons will use an on-disk socket to communicate with gvfsd so that it will be possible to talk to gvfs while disabling the network. However, for applications to be able to talk through that on-disk socket, they need to be able to access it.

If your application talks directly to gvfs daemon, for example to list mounts, and access optical discs, then you will need to modify your application's manifest to include access to the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfsd. For example, for a JSON manifest:

         "--talk-name=org.gtk.vfs", "--talk-name=org.gtk.vfs.*",
        "--filesystem=xdg-run/gvfs", "--filesystem=xdg-run/gvfsd",

If your application doesn't need to talk to gvfs via D-Bus, then it doesn't need access to xdg-run/gvfsd.

If you tried to access files using gvfs, and gvfsd was inaccessible, this error would be returned:

Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: Could not connect: No such file or directory

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Please be careful, if the application doesn't talk directly to gvfs, there's no need to add that hole. Eg. Krita doesn't need the change...

Here is a complete list of apps with --talk-name=org.gtk.vfs.*, maybe it helps

I'm fairly certain most of them don't need to talk to gvfs...

hadess · 2021-03-30T13:34:55Z

Cozy doesn't need the change:
flathub/com.github.geigi.cozy#4

DejaDup doesn't need the change:
flathub/org.gnome.DejaDup#12

Handbrake fixed in flathub/fr.handbrake.ghb@b5ac0a5

FreeCAD, timetrack, Daty, trenchboom, blastem, itopia, and thincast don't need the change.

org.gimp.GIMP//stable is done

- add gvfsd permissions: see flathub/flathub#2180

org.inkscape.Inkscape//stable is done.

hadess · 2021-04-01T15:26:09Z

(We also found that --talk-name=org.gtk.vfs did nothing because there wasn't ever a daemon with that name on the other side of the bus, I'm not sure whether folks would appreciate me filing another tracker bug ^_^)

I've added documentation at https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html#gvfs-access if anyone if still curious about the options.

This should make it possible to access GVfs resources with backend URIs. One example is the admin backend using the admin:// URI. References: - https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html#gvfs-access - flathub/flathub#2180 - https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gvfs/backends
