Anybody got any ideas about this?   I have dbus running.

Re: gnome-power-manager fails to lauch (XFCE)

Happens to me too with openbox, I have d-bus running of course.
Seems like the new version is really buggy, I have downgraded for the moment because I don't have time to fiddle with it now....

Re: gnome-power-manager fails to lauch (XFCE)

The same case to me!... but I am using Awesome WM, the message error is :

** (gnome-power-manager:6007): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_proxy_call: assertion `DBUS_IS_G_PROXY (proxy)' failed
Segmentation fault

Does anybody has the same problem?...

running from console :

]$ gnome-power-manager --verbose
TI:01:28:40    TH:0x1d48140    FI:egg-debug.c    FN:egg_debug_init,306
- Verbose debugging 1 (on console 1)GPM_VERBOSE

TI:01:28:40    TH:0x1d48140    FI:gpm-session.c    FN:gpm_session_init,392
- DBUS error: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SessionManager': no such name

** (gnome-power-manager:6929): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_proxy_call: assertion `DBUS_IS_G_PROXY (proxy)' failed
Segmentation fault

I am still looking for a solution..

I'm getting the same error. I'm running XFCE. Have downgraded it for the moment.

Hi guys

Try and install xfce-goodies, then reboot and see if it helps - I hope it does...

I gave up and move to xfce4-power-manager.  It has really improved since I last tried it.

I add 'dbus-launch' before nautilus and empathy when I need to run them . I thought that this is normal with gnome apps outside gnome sessions .

Re: gnome-power-manager fails to lauch (XFCE)

JGC released new version (2.26.1-2) which fixes this. Currently it's only in 64-bit repo, but the same PKGBUILD and patch work for i686.
Thank you JGC.
