restart dbus daemon kills X

zephyrus17 · 2009-07-20 01:22:57

As title says, when I enter

# /etc/rc.d/dbus restart

X dies. Instantly. Everytime. I think this is a pretty rare bug. Only 3 other incidents on google.

Hummm. same behavior here, i guess is normal..
Try to start hal instead dbus.

Same here.

Hmm. I do start hal in daemons. Doesn't hal just automatically start dbus? When you try to restart any daemon other than dbus that isn't started, does X crash as well?

Hello
I compile evrything myself and in PKGBUILD of xorg-server (from ABS tree) i found this option:

--enable-config-dbus

I think that's why X dies after restart Dbus

zephyrus17 · 2009-07-20 10:56:56

So all I have to do is disable it? How do I do that? Will I have to reinstall xorg-server?

You have to have xorg-server PKGBUILD (one from abs) and makepkg installed and , if I remeber pkg-config just disable it in PKGBUILD and build xorg-server and install/upgrade it via Pacman

Look at it from a different angle e.g. why are you restarting dbus? I never have to do that.

Because I can't hotplug my ntfs removable drives, and I can't unmount my internal NTFS drives via fstab. I've tried all the wiki tips on HAL and all don't work. But most end with restarting dbus, etc. And the situation is worsened by my xorg server hanging when I logout. So it's not just x crashing when I restart dbus, but it's a complete restart.

Does this disable hotplugging?

Don't restart DBus ... you can use "/etc/rc.d/dbus reload" for it to read it's config files .. otherwise you never need to restart it.

You need to find another sollution for your problem with the ntfs drives (at least you can try restarting HAL).

I've restarted HAL plenty of times. It doesn't work. It's driving me up the wall.
