affects 766819 + systemd gvfs openafs-client stop (I'm adding affects for all the packages which possibly play a role in leading to this issue, please remove yourself when you think it doesn't apply).
I've downgraded basically most of the packages from the log from before which could be remotely reason for this (gtk, etc.) but no effect. I probably found the reason though. But first some further information: - iceweasel is not affected - evince is affected - when cinnamon starts it basically freezes during start for a while - it also happens sometimes when switching workspaces - it does not happen when with eog/etc. when started via plain X (after startx). One thing cured the whole issue: I've noted that since a few days openafs-client was started by systemd, and did some partial mount: # l /afs/ total 8,2k drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 2,1k Jan 1 1970 . drwxr-xr-x 26 root root 4,1k Oct 22 06:06 .. drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2,1k Jan 1 1970 .:mount After: # systemctl stop afs.mount # systemctl stop openafs-client.service # systemctl disable openafs-client.service Cinnamon worked again perfectly. So there seem to be some issues now.... 1) Why did systemd enable openafs-client? I had it clearly disabled during sysvinit times and it's probably bad to have it automagically enabled. (What if it does so with insecure services as well?) 2) Why is cinnamon related but not plain X? I'd suspect gvfs is the reasons. Which leads to the questions: Why can gvfs block the whole GUI, and why doesn't it handle a broken /afs gracefully and what the hell has it to do with afs anyway? 3) What is broken with openafs-client? It breaks one stopping/starting it: # systemctl status openafs-client.service ● openafs-client.service - OpenAFS client Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/openafs-client.service; disabled) Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Sun 2014-10-26 05:25:12 CET; 1min 18s ago Process: 6270 ExecStartPre=/usr/share/openafs/openafs-client-precheck (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Oct 26 05:22:58 heisenberg openafs-client-precheck[6270]: /usr/share/openafs/openafs-client-precheck: 30: [: openafs: unexpected operator Oct 26 05:23:42 heisenberg systemd[1]: Stopping OpenAFS client...
