[Bug 831626] New: /var/lib/dbus/machine-id has different value than /etc/machine-id
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=831626 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=831626#c0 Summary: /var/lib/dbus/machine-id has different value than /etc/machine-id Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: dgdaniel_f@web.de QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/28.0.1500.72 Safari/537.36 If using i.e. steam with pulseaudio it is necessary, that the value of /var/lib/dbus/machine-id is the same as /etc/machine-id to work. Otherwise it will not connect to the pulseaudio daemon. Unfortunatly the values of both files are in all OpenSuse 12.3 installs ALWAYS different. It is highly reproducible in all installations I had so far. Furthermore the value of /var/lib/dbus/machine-id seems to be supposed to be the same as /etc/machine-id. A symlink to /etc/machine-id would solve the issue completely. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Just install OpenSuse 12.3 2. 3. Actual Results: Different values in both files Expected Results: Same value in both files -- 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.

Might be true. But where is the reason to create two files with different value in the system? I think your suggestion to create the second file only if the first one is not found is the method of choice. Nevertheless a check for same value is advised. -- 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.

Same bug in OpenSuse 13.1. Installed on different PC in a virtual box.
Confirmed. Installed openSUSE 13.1 about two weeks ago and installed steam. I had no sound in any game from Valve. What worked for me, delete the dbus one, then create a symlink. sudo ln -s /etc/machine-id /var/lib/dbus/machine-id https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/1179#issuecomment-13... Now I have sound again in all games from Valve. This solution has helped already at least two other 13.1 users.(source openSUSE forum ) -- 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.

I mean really, why do have two files with the same name a different value and two locations? -- 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.
