[SOLVED] Totem plugin still no work...

Gullible Jones · 2006-01-25 02:45:16

That last update didn't fix the Totem plugin, but I think I found a reason for our problem... Here is what I get when I launch Firefox from a console, then try to play an embedded movie:

NP_Initialize
Init scriptable instance
Failed to open DBUS session: Unable to determine the address of the message bus
Die scriptable instance
NP_Initialize

NP_Initialize

Failed to open DBUS session: Unable to determine the address of the message bus
Die scriptable instance

I'm guessing this is also behind the nonfunctionality of Konqueror's embedded media playing, since that uses dbus as well. It should also be noted that the problems with the Totem plugin not working all started with version 1.1.4, when the Mozilla plugin started using dbus...

Edit: I should also mention that, yes, I do have dbus in my DAEMONS array.

Do you have a session bus of dbus running? Running the dbus daemon only starts a system bus

Only dbus-daemon. Shouldn't dbus be autostarted (via the library) when the Totem plugin starts?

(Also, note that other software depending on dbus works fine, it's only embedded media stuff that doesn't work.)

Tried launching a dbus session myself via dbus-launch, as suggested in the (now closed) bug report. I get the *exact* same result.

Okay, starting it along with gnome-session works... The plugin is now functional. This raises some questions in my mind about dbus though, I'll have to post a thread asking about that...

How do you start up gnome? Through gdm?

Gullible Jones · 2006-01-25 21:24:10

No, via the console. I find that login managers tend to be a pain.

(Doesn't really matter, this problem is solved. Hmm... I wonder if this is what was causing the weird stuff I saw in KDE?)
