dbus does not start

pressh · 2006-02-05 09:50:48

Lately I'm not able to start hal due to a dbus error:

pressh@pressh_box rc.d]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/dbus start
:: Starting D-BUS system messagebus               [BUSY]                                                                                                              
/etc/rc.d/dbus: line 7:  3580 Segmentation fault      /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system                            [FAIL]

Any ideas?

EDIT:Tried recompiling, but errors on me :?

configure: WARNING: GLib development libraries not found
configure: error: GLib explicitly required, and GLib development libraries not found
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...
[pressh@pressh_box dbus]$

However all glib libraries are installed...

When you say all glib libraries are installed that includes glib2 right?

yes

Are python, qt, and gtk installed?

pressh · 2006-02-05 19:12:41

bash-3.1$ pacman -Q gtk python qt
gtk 1.2.10-6
python 2.4.2-1
qt 3.3.5-8

So yes, they are

Sounds to me like this thread might be the same thing you are seeing (I see you are using testing also):

yes indeed, that is for sure my compiling problem. I don't know, I just skipped that topic from reading. Thanks for pointing to me

so whats the solution? I'm having the dbus error too.

pressh · 2006-02-09 08:25:19

You can check your PKG_CONFIG_PATH as neri suggested in the link above. Don't know if it well help for you, for me it did only partially help on me (sometimes it did start on boot, sometimes I had to try again manually later on to start it). For the compiling problem it did work.
I got tired for searching for the full solution, took me way too much time and decided to do a quick full reinstall in 20 minutes

Segfaulting dbus is due to some bad configuration. Make sure you have the latest filesystem package, which adds the "power" group to your /etc/group. Without this group and with latest hal installed, this will cause dbus to segfault on startup.

thanks JGC, don't know how I missed that one on pacman -Syu.
