GLib-GIO-CRITICAL g_menu_insert_item: assertion 'G_IS_MENU (menu)' failed

Hello,

regarding the nextcloud desktop sync client:
The log file .xsession-errors is filled with the following messages:
(nextcloud:144782): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 19:07:30.499: g_menu_insert_item: assertion ‘G_IS_MENU (menu)’ failed
Several thousand lines in bursts when syncinc which produced a formidable 42GB logfile overnight filling my hard drive …

The client works flawlessly otherwise.

Nextcloud-desktop client version 2.6.4-1
Nextcloud-server version 16.0.9
Debian unstable

How to proceed from here?
Is it possible to turn off warnings/debugging from the client?

Many thanks in advance,
Thomas

I have exactly the same problem:
Nextcloud runs perfectly fine, but when xsession-errors regularly fills up my HOME partition, it causes other applications to crash and corrupt their setting files :cry:

Have you found out anything yet?
Does anyone have any suggestion how to reduce these warnings in the log?

Thank you very much in advance! :smile:

Found this post on Google after having the same issue.

Although I don’t have a fix, I created a quick and dirty workaround by creating the following CRON task that empties the log file every 10 minutes…
*/10 * * * * true > /home/USERNAME/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log

Manjaro KDE Plasma 20.0.3
Nextcloud 2.6.4git

Whilst writing this I have just realised that despite my package manager saying I am up to date, it seems that 2.6.5-1 is in fact the latest version available. Fixing this now, hopefully that will resolve the issue!

Update: Looks like 2.6.4git is the latest version in my repo.
