This is a bug in the program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action. GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Abnormal program termination spawning command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=f2e42fa76d380fe9ded6ae94493eec15 --binary-syntax --close-stderr': ) (emacs:30395): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a child process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN and ECHILD was received by waitpid(), so exit status can't be returned. This is a bug in the program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I use the gtk emacs under fluxbox. However, I've been able to google a workaround. When I add the following to my ~/.xinitrc before launching fluxbox, the problem goes away: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session` fi ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nevertheless, I really think an editor that is being launched here and there so often should not do this unless something really bad is happening. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
