So I've been building my system to run compiz standalone, but I'm having trouble with programs communicating with dbus. This includes gnome-power-manager and xfce4-power-manager among others. I get errors the dbus session not being started. Also,
dbus-monitor --sessionreturns
Failed to open connection to session bus: Empty address ''My current ~/.xinitrc is:
emerald &
tint2 &
nitrogen --set-auto ~/.nitrogenconfig/set.jpg &
xscreensaver -nosplash &
/home/jbritton/.bin/conky/startconky.sh &
volwheel &
parcellite &
wicd-gtk &
sleep 10 && pidgin &
exec ck-launch-session fusion-iconI've tried adding
dbus-launch --ssh-syntax --exit-with-sessionand using
exec dbus-launch fusion-iconbut still get the same errors.
Any tips on what I'm missing here?\\Thanks in advance.

Do you have dbus in your daemons array in /etc/rc.conf? Maybe you could try ck-launch-session and dbus-launch.

Yeah, dbus is in my daemons. I'm not sure what you mean by
Maybe you could try ck-launch-session and dbus-launch.
I've tried several combinations of this in my .xinitrc, but it seems I must not be putting it in the right syntax. Any suggestion on the specific way to do this?
Thanks

I run a standalone compiz setup and my ,xinitrc looks something like this:
avant-window-navigator &
exec dbus-launch compiz --replace ccpand my ck-launch-session is put into slim (login manager)

Interesting - this might be the cause of similar problems I'm having.
and my ck-launch-session is put into slim (login manager)
And where exactly would that be?
@OP'er: In another recent thread I read that it should be:
'exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch <wm>'
in that specific order.
I've just read it, will try it out later.

i put it in /etc/slim.conf

I tried wankel's suggestion but when slim loads and I enter my password, it fails to login and flashes back to slim. So it seems that it is something in the line
exec dbus-launch fusion-iconthat is failing? I have tried
'exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch <wm>'at some point but still no luck...
Should the directory /etc/dbus-1/session.d be empty? I noticed that my system.d has items in it but not the session.d, maybe this is part of the issue?
Zenlord, let me know if
'exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch <wm>'works for you, maybe I need to try something along those lines again. I ended up installing laptop-tools and putting the battery section in my tint2, so I don't need gnome-power-manager anymore, but I still get errors with several programs that I have tried to run (awn, sound-juicer, nautilus).

Have you tried using "compiz --replace cpp" as opposed to "fusion-icon"? fusion-icon is a program and not the window manager itself so that maybe the reason why its failing.

Wankel, are you starting X with inittab method or the ~/.bash_profile method?
Offline
I don't know how it took me so long to get this working, but I added
dbus-launch --ssh-syntax &just before
exec ck-launch-session fusion-iconand it is all working now.
I swear I tried this first and it didn't work... Oh well... Thanks for all the suggestions!
