Proof Portal
Omarchy
ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirementsA proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report
System details
Omarchy 3.1.1
What's wrong?
I have two machines with the exact same setup, Omarchy 3.1.1
One of them is a Desktop, the other a Laptop.
On the Laptop machine Nautilus runs fine, on the desktop, for some reason, Nautilus takes about 25s to start.
After much investigation and feeding strace files to Grok, I found the differences causing this delay:

I masked these entries in .config/dbus-1/session.d/nautilus-mask.conf:
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>
<policy context="default">
<deny own="org.gnome.Nautilus"/>
<deny own="org.gnome.NautilusPreviewer"/>
</policy>
</busconfig>And now Nautilus runs fast again!
But.. why are these entries present in this machine and not the other, considering same OS, both updated to lastest version of Omarchy consistently?
