[Bug 206352] New: KDE does sometimes not recognize DBUS
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206352 Summary: KDE does sometimes not recognize DBUS Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 4 Platform: 64bit OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: one_way@online.de QAContact: qa@suse.de I have the following problem: Sometimes (about every 4th or 5th boot of the computer), KDE shows a requester complaining that DBUS is not running. "/etc/init.d/dbus status", however, proves that DBUS is definitely running. Same goes e.g. for HAL and PolicyKit. But all DBUS related stuff isn't working in KDE until the next reboot (simply restarting these services and/or the X-Server/KDE Session doesn't work). The problem is not predictable, and I don't know in which logfile to look for further information :(. Versions (all x86-64 from the factory repositories): kdebase 3.5.4-20, kdelibs 3.5.4-18, dbus-1 0.92-7, dbus-1-qt 0.62-16 However, the problem did already occur with previous versions for some weeks now. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206352 ------- Comment #1 from one_way@online.de 2006-09-16 21:28 MST ------- Additional information: It _seems_ as if the described problem can, in my configuration, be provoked by starting several programs (via kicker/kmenu) while KDE is still busy starting up/restoring the previous session. It also _seems_ that, on the other hand, the problem can be avoided when waiting until all of KDE's disk activities have ended bevor launching any application. I also noticed that sometimes there are KDE/DBUS communication problems without KDE complaining with the abovementioned error message. Only the symptoms remain, e.g.: - kpowersave tray icon is grayed out - Amarok's xine engine cannot initialise any audio driver - Kmix doesn't find an audio device - Removable storage media are not recognised -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

The problem is, however, most annoying, as it can happen that several consecutive reboots of the OS are necessary to avoid the issue :(. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

I'd like to point out that the error message is not completely erraneous, as all dbus-related functionality in KDE is missing (don't know how that ist in #206458). So there is a problem with dbus, it's just not the simply problem that dbus is not running. Also, not only kpowersave is affevted by that. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206352 ------- Comment #14 from one_way@online.de 2006-09-26 12:18 MST ------- It's getting a bit confusing: I completed my "Factory" update a few hours after posting comments #11 and #12. This additional update included, among others, packages kernel-default-2.6.18-4 and glibc-2.4.90-something. Symptoms: HAL did start during the boot sequence, but nevertheless was reported as "unused" later. Ehm. But as the update to the new glibc/nscd messed up my system quite a bit in other aspects, too (see bug #208189), I had to revert to the 10.1-glibc-stuff (glibc-2.4-25). In this 10.1/10.2-mixed setup the behaviour is reproducable (about 5 consecutive reboots) as follows: Most of problems listed in comment #1 don't occur anymore, KDE does no longer complain about missing dbus - only kpowersave is still dysfunctional all the time. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206352 ------- Comment #16 from one_way@online.de 2006-10-02 12:55 MST ------- I'm daily updating to the factory packages. For about a week the problem I described in my original post doesn't occur anymore. True, there are often problems with PolicyKit and/or HAL, but they only _seem_ to happen immediately after the factory updates, and are gone after a reboot with the updated packages. Only kpowersave is very boneheaded and still refuses to run correctly. Features like cpu frequency seem to be unaffected, however (most of the time - sometimes not, but this might also be connected with my factory updates). -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

rpm -q dbus-1 dbus-1-0.60-30 dbus-1-0.92-8.3
3. Update other dbus-related packages rpm -Uvh dbus-*.rpm 4. reboot: kpowersave and automounter will work Note: !!!
