Hi All, i've had a weird dbus problem: Every program was shouting at me it could not determine the address of the dbus daemon. So the first thing i looked at was my hostname and /etc/hosts and it turned out everything was fine there :-) So my second guess was that it would probably be that i bypass all the normal login / gdm stuff and run some custom scripts from inittab: in inittab (runlevel 3): 1:2345:respawn:/usr/bin/x1.sh /usr/bin/x1.sh: #!/bin/bash export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin export PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ " export USER=root export HOME=/root unset SHLVL exec bash -l -c "exec /usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/x2.sh &> /root/.xlog" and /usr/bin/x2.sh: #!/bin/bash cd /root xhost + xrdb -merge /root/.Xresources exec gnome-session Now why run such scripts you might ask .. well i love it that my computer boots up logged in right away, without any logins .. its protected by the front door of my house with locks, so need for all that repetitive password typing, just let me do my business as soon as posible! :-) Also if i have a need to restart X, its just a ctrl-alt-backspace away and i'm automaticly right back in a fresh x session.. just some creature comforts i've grown used to Well it turns out after some googeling that by using such custom shells scripts instead of the propper GDM the dbus envirioment settings were never set that dbus-launch is supposed to set (gnome-session doesn't start it?) So i've modified my x2.sh script into: #!/bin/bash cd /root killall -9 dbus-daemon sleep 1 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax &> /tmp/dbus-env . /tmp/dbus-env rm -f /tmp/dbus-env xhost + xrdb -merge /root/.Xresources exec gnome-session Does this look propper to anyone with some dbus experiance? Everything does seem to work perfect again, so i think so :-) Just weird that gnome-session doesn't take care of this, when its clearly a required part of the gnome session? Is it worth filing any bugs for this, or am i misunderstanding the situation? -- Chris Chabot
