Help: Opening Settings logs user out of session

[seannieuwoudt]

Fresh install of Ubuntu.

When I open the default settings GUI, I get black screened and logged out of the current user session. Takes me back to log in screen.

Here are the logs:

Hello and Welcome

Do you know why there is a reference to redhat spice on Ubuntu?

spice-vdagent: Cannot access vdagent virtio channel /dev/virtio-ports/com.redhat.spice.0

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1497637

I don't know why, but here's everything that was installed:

• NVIDIA drivers (GP104 390.48-0ubuntu3)
• Chrome
• VirtualBox
• Vagrant
• Intellij
• Docker
• Dropbox
• Spotify
• Git

Nothing else from my side.

I suspected that it might have something to do with the NVIDIA drivers and removed those, but the issue persists. Everything else works 100%, just can't open the settings dialog.

Is this a virtual or hard-drive installation ?

I just noticed I also have spice-vdagent on my machine when checking services so did a rdepend and that makes me wonder how anybody would not have it with a default install!!

~$ apt-cache rdepends spice-vdagent 
spice-vdagent

Appears to be for a virtual machine client. I was surprised to read red hat in the error.

Workaround, till getting a fix:

sudo gedit /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/spice-vdagentd.conf

and modify the path from /var/run/.... to /run/....
then save and exit. That will stop the log spam.
