Hi, I seem to be having some rather large problems with my x86 laptop. It looks like there is a problem with dbus somewhere. What happened was this. Last week, I ran file-roller as sudo to copy something into /usr/local. For some reason, most of the applets vanished and it looked like a gconf error. Everything hung. I restarted X, but all I got was the mouse pointer and the animated circle things. I restarted the machine and lots of things went wrong. avahi, mysql, httpd and haldaemon all fail to start. If I try to login, all I get is a message that there is no /home directory for a particular user. I can log in as root. If I try gconftool2 --spawn, everything seems fine. If I try to start haldaemon with /etc/init.d/haldaemon restart, it fails If I try to start mysqld with /etc/init.d/mysqld restart, I get a timed out error If I try to run lshal, all I get it error: dbus_bus_get: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoServer: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused Any suggestions on what to look for or alter? I'm running rawhide and updated today.
