[SOLVED] D-bus system messagebus "failed to start messagebus"

im running arch x64, and kdemod fully updated on my hp tx2000 laptop, i booted this morning (did a big pacman -Syyu last night) and got this message on my boot messages:

:: Starting D-BUS system messagebus 
Failed to start message bus: Failed to bind socket "/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket": Address already in use

my system sames to work fine, although the keyboard didnt work at all after the first boot up (never happened before) so i hard resetted it and it works fine now.

what can i do to fix this, any ideas what it means?

thanks[

post DAEMONS list from rc.conf


Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [SOLVED] D-bus system messagebus "failed to start messagebus"

modules and daemons from rc.conf:

MODULES=(forcedeth !snd-pcm-oss snd-hda-intel fuse wl vhba loop)
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng @hal @fam !network @netfs @wicd @crond cdemud alsa cups kdm)

...i also restarted dbus as suggested, although i dont understand why:

$ sudo /etc/rc.d/dbus restart
:: Stopping D-BUS system messagebus                                                                                                                   [DONE]
:: Starting D-BUS system messagebus                                                                                                                   [DONE]

restarting dbus crashed my printer applet, songbird and a coupla programs, but thats about it...it was already running cuz hal is in my daemons.

Re: [SOLVED] D-bus system messagebus "failed to start messagebus"

awesome! thanks a lot, i removed the @ symbol from in front of hal and its all good now...

that should probably be written down somewhere, my keyboard eventually became frozen and the only way to fix things was to enter my rc.conf from my arch32 on another partition...
