[HELP] DBUS Problem in openbox causing slow application launching

blu3ness · 2008-01-19 04:53:09

I used to use Gnome and recently decided to give Openbox a go, in openbox, I found out that apps like thunar, and gtk apps open very slowly, so naturally, I ran it in terminal, then I discovered the following error messages, and I have verified that they are indeed causing the slow startup of the programs, but I currently do not have a fix for this, I have tried to listen in another location, or adding my user account into the DBUS group.

Thunar: Failed to connect to the D-BUS session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-oGFFR1H7dB: Connection refused

** (evince:12781): WARNING **: Service registration failed.

** (evince:12781): WARNING **: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-yca398u02W: Connection refused

Same here.

I switched from xfce to openbox and thunar or terminal start really slow.

My error messages are similar:

Thunar: Failed to connect to the D-BUS session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-MYHPYgGSFA: Connection refused

Terminal: Fehler beim Registrieren des Terminal Services: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-ciMvqHkFq0: Connection refused

are both the dbus daemon and the session bus running ?

Is this linked to the permissions the user has?

su
gpasswd -a username optical
gpasswd -a username storage

That might fix it.

Hi!

The permission are set correctly; I'm member of optical and storage.

Here are the daemons:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond cups hal fam alsa slim mpd)

What do i have to type in the rc.conf for the session bus daemon?

do you use openbox-session?
in autostart.sh you may need this:

# D-bus
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
       eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi

I use slim and an openbox entry in the ~/.xnitrc

#!/bin/sh

#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
#
eval `cat ~/.fehbg` &
pypanel &
exec openbox

But I give your suggestion a try and edit my ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh

I will report later or tomorrow

DonVla solution worked for me, thunar open up nice and fast now!

you can add the dbus entry also to your ~/.xinitrc.
or simply add following:

exec /usr/bin/openbox-session

and edit the autostart.sh

Just incase you switch DE/WMs.

or another method is to start it via .xinitrc

dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox

blu3ness · 2008-01-22 03:47:06

Thank you for all the help guys, but I'm still having some problems with it.

While dbus is launching fine now, but whenever a dbus-launch command is executed, my keyboard becomes unresponsive, no matter what I do.

If I skip those shell commands at the autostart.sh and enter them at a terminal at at later time. The keyboard misses keys from time to time. and This is very anoyying. I appreciate if anyone has a fix for this problem. Thanks!

removing the --exit-with-session argument fixed the unresponsive keyboard problem for me. Not sure why

hi,

i had the same problem after a fresh install of arch (openbox as WM). It was actually ROXTerm which showed the "dbus connection fail" error, firefox could start without problem.
Anyways, all of this solutions didnt worked for me, but after i finally reinstalled hal and dbus, the problem now seems to be solved.

cheers
