Woops quick correction to the x2.sh script before anybody is thinking of ever using it, the killall killed the --system dbus to. I've changed my x2.sh to: #!/bin/bash cd /root kill -9 $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID &>/dev/null /usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax &> /tmp/dbus-env echo -e "export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID\n" >> /tmp/dbus-env . /tmp/dbus-env rm -f /tmp/dbus-env xhost + xrdb -merge /root/.Xresources exec gnome-session Should work a lot better when not killing the system global dbus :-) On Thu, 2006-01-12 at 13:42 +0100, Chris Chabot wrote: > Hi All, i've had a weird dbus problem: Every program was shouting at me > it could not determine the address of the dbus daemon. > > So the first thing i looked at was my hostname and /etc/hosts and it > turned out everything was fine there :-) > > So my second guess was that it would probably be that i bypass all the > normal login / gdm stuff and run some custom scripts from inittab: > > in inittab (runlevel 3): > 1:2345:respawn:/usr/bin/x1.sh > > /usr/bin/x1.sh: > #!/bin/bash > export > PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin > export PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ " > 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?
