Couldn't move process **** to requested cgroup

[thatgim]

Describe the bug

GSConnect won't connect to my Pixel 7a anymore.
If tried pairing them directly via IP. I also confirmed my firewalld configuration and could connect to my phone on port 1716 via netcat.

This messages appeared unrelated to my interactions with the UI.

Steps to reproduce

Watch journalctl -f see the following error messages:

*** systemd[1464]: app-gnome-org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.GSConnect.Preferences-8454.scope: Couldn't move process 8454 to requested cgroup '/user.slice/user-1000.slice/[email protected]/app.slice/app-gnome-org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.GSConnect.Preferences-8454.scope': No such process
*** systemd[1464]: app-gnome-org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.GSConnect.Preferences-8454.scope: Failed to add PIDs to scope's control group: No such process
*** systemd[1464]: app-gnome-org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.GSConnect.Preferences-8454.scope: Failed with result 'resources'.

The preferences crashes are... strange, and not ideal, but they shouldn't affect GSConnect's operation; the real question is whether daemon.js is running.

If you run a ps -ef |grep gjs, you should see a process entry like the following:

ferd       94064    4777  0 Jul22 ?        00:00:47 gjs -m /home/ferd/.local/sha
re/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/service/daemon.js

Also, you wrote:

I also confirmed my firewalld configuration and could connect to my phone on port 1716 via netcat.

But the related question is, can you connect from your phone to your Linux box on port 1716? If you have ConnectBot installed, or any other Android app that gives you a local shell, you can use netcat from Android to test whether the connection works in that direction as well.

(Just nc <linux_ip> 1716; if you get a connection refused message then either it's a firewall problem or daemon.js isn't running.)

Regarding the preferences issue, what version of gio do you have installed? I know Arch systems tend to be bleeding-edge, it's possible there have been recent changes we haven't accounted for. On my own system gsconnect-preferences runs without crashing using libgio-2.0.so.0.8000.3 from Fedora's glib2-2.80.3-1.fc40.x86_64 package.

(I do get the same journal messages as you, regarding the failure to place the preferences app in a particular cgroup / start the preferences app — they're weird, but appear to be harmless. They certainly don't interfere with the app actually starting. But the crash is something different.)

[ferdnyc]

@thatgim Are you still having issues with GSConnect crashing / not running? Will you be able to provide the requested information / test results, or should we close this?

[ferdnyc]

Closing this for lack of response.
