F-Spot Error (Solved)

I know I have posted this else where but I got no response, so I decided to post it here in stead.

When I launch F-Spot I get the following error: -

F-Spot Encountered a Fatal Error
F-Spot cannot find the Dbus session bus. Make sure dbus is configured correctly or start a new session for f-spot using "dbus-launch f-spot"

I have issued the command it gives in the error and the same error crops up.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Re: F-Spot Error (Solved)

make sure dbus is running. as root:

/etc/rc.d/dbus start

if that fixes the problem, you'll probably want to add dbus to your DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf. it should go before hal if that is there as well.

Are you sure dbus is installed?
pacman -Qi dbus

Re: F-Spot Error (Solved)

Sorry guys for the long delay, I have been away.

Misfit138 I ran pacman -Qi dbus and I have dbus installed version 1.0.2-4.

Zerathidune, I ran your code and fspot worked, so I checked my rc.conf and I had dbus after hal, so I have put dbus before hal. I rebooted and checked fspot and it worked.

Many thanks guys
