KDE D-Bus Failure?

Jookia · 2010-08-29 19:08:57

Can somebody help me with a user-specific (or so I assume) issue where I can't run KDE apps, but if I run them as root, I can. I'm running OpenBox. Can somebody help using the error below?

[jookia@jookia-ARCH ~]$ kaffeine
kaffeine(18501): Communication problem with "kaffeine" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" : " "The name org.kde.kaffeine was not provided by any .service files" "

i tried on my machine and on a fresh install and it worked in both tests...

Jookia · 2010-08-29 20:41:33

They use to work but they do not now.

Shot in the dark but I'll try anyway. Is your username a member of all the pertinent groups (audio, video, etc.)? Or are you talking about absolutely ANY KDE app?

Jookia · 2010-08-29 21:46:31

I think it is, how do I check?

Anyway, I can run Kaffeine as root.

Is dbus and hal listed in your rc.conf daemons list? If so then I'm at a loss.

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal preload networkmanager @netfs crond @alsa @sshd avahi-daemon samba openntpd smbnetfs)

herrvideman · 2010-08-30 00:23:18

I'm at a loss then. I was hoping it'd be something simple that was in my small realm of knowledge.

Maybe someone else has some ideas...

Jookia · 2010-08-30 00:40:16

It's crazy, eh?

herrvideman · 2010-08-30 00:56:10

its BOGUS man

orlfman · 2010-08-30 03:35:53

Could try removing dbus and all its config files then try installing it again.

Jookia · 2010-08-30 21:34:54

Umm.. How do I do that?

Jookia · 2010-08-31 15:02:45

Okay, I reinstalled D-Bus and HAL to no avail.

Hmm, reinstall glibc.... (?)

Jookia · 2010-09-01 20:43:11

I deleted glibc, but I'm due for a reinstall anyway. I went from GNOME to Xfce to OpenBox and didn't learn of pacman's removing config option. So yeah, reinstall time!
