[Bug 1813428] Re: "sorry, you are not running GNOME or KDE" while running GNOME

[Brian Murray]

Something is wrong with the pgrep matching here, likely the process
name.

126 def get_desktop_vfs(ui):
127     if subprocess.call(['pgrep', '-u', str(os.getuid()), '-x', 'gnome-session']) == 0:
128         return 'gvfs'
129     if subprocess.call(['pgrep', '-u', str(os.getuid()), '-x', 'ksmserver']) == 0:
130         return 'kdelibs5'

Title:
  "sorry, you are not running GNOME or KDE" while running GNOME

Status in apport-symptoms package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  1) run ubuntu-bug with no arguments
  2) "What kind of problem do you want to report?"
  choose
  "External or internal storage devices(e.g. USB sticks)"
  3) OK
  4) choose
  "Removable storage device is not mounted automatically"
  5) when ubuntu-bug says "please remove it ..."
  physically remove USB thumb drive from computer.
  6) when ubuntu-bug says "please plug it back in..."
  physically plug USB thumb back in computer.

  result:

  "sorry, you are not running GNOME or KDE automounting needs to be
  provided by your desktop  environment"

  oddly enough if you leave it in, instead of unplugging, it proceeds to
  report the bug as usual
