HAL fails because of D-BUS issue

FLCLFan · 2009-01-11 21:58:37

So thats the problem I get when trying to start HAL on my newly installed arch. What do I do to fix this?

Thanks

have you installed dbus?

FLCLFan · 2009-01-11 22:22:58

Yeah, dbus 1.2.4-1 is installed.

FLCLFan · 2009-01-11 22:39:50

I got it fixed.

dbus didnt create the group "dbus" so I made the group and added it to the dbus user.

This happened to me too recently. Why is this happening? Is dbus not being installed properly for some reason?

Happened to me too, I've been meaning to file a bug on this. Basically the post_install commands that create the dbus user/group in the dbus.install scriptlet are not being executed when the package is installed, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with te commands though and other packages that do the same thing (e.g. hal) work fine..

Link me to the bug after you file it. I'll confirm it.

This hapened with me too on Arch64

The .INSTALL script uses 'usr/sbin/groupadd', 'usr/sbin/useradd' and 'usr/bin/passwd'.
I guess that maybe should be '/usr/sbin' and '/usr/bin' ??

Or - if this is early on in a new install, maybe the binaries are not present yet?

Here's the relevant bug report: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12853

So it was just a dependancy problem
