Freeze on xfce4-startup #982

Description

I am running opensnitch on manjaro with xfce4, and in the past it has been working without a problem. One day when booting my system, I entered my password on the login screen of xfce, my desktop background appears and then nothing happens anymore, no matter how long you wait.

I bootet into a live-system, entered chroot and studied the logs. Unfortunately, that's a few months ago, and I can't tell anymore what led me to assume that opensnitchd is responsible, but I disabled the systemctl-service for it and after that, my xfce started without any problems.

Since then, I always started the opensnitchd-service manually on every startup (with sudo systemctl start opensnitchd.service) and that was running without any issues, when I tried enabeling it on startup again today, the issue occured again, service enabled on startup -> xfce freezes after login, live system, chroot, disable service, reboot -> everything works again.

In my journalctl is nothing but the Starting opensnitch-daemon v1.5.8 and Loading rules from /etc/opensnitchd/rules ...

There is nothing of interest in /var/log/opensnitchd.log either

I am running Manjaro Linux with xfce4, Kernel Version 6.1.31-2-MANJARO (I changed the kernel since the problem initially occured and it is still present).

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. sudo systemctl enable opensnitchd.service
  2. reboot
  3. Enter Password on Login screen -> Desktop Background appears -> nothing happens anymore

Maybe anyone has an idea on how to debug that issue
