[SOLVED] dbus: EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon

Hello! I installed dbus from the extra repository, but it doesn't seem to work correctly...
dbus-monitor outputs this:
Failed to open connection to session message bus: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon
ps aux | grep dbus shows the daemon is correctly launched:
dbus 5336 0.0 0.0 2140 824 ? Ss 11:18 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system
My DAEMONS array is set this way:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond @sshd alsa hal g15daemon)
I did some googling, but it didn't really help... I have no idea how to fix this. Does any of you know?
Thanks in advance for your help
EDIT: it seems dbus-monitor --system sees the daemon! But I have no idea what that means...
I actually need dbus for a python plugin for xchat, to control audacious2. Maybe I should try to adapt that script.
EDIT2: Oh, so it seems I should start the "session daemon" as well, that's what I need...
EDIT3: dbus-daemon --session segfaults
EDIT4: nevermind, that's not how it's supposed to be launched anyway... I see there's a /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/30-dbus file that is supposed to take care of all this... Is the execution of this logged anywhere? grepping dbus in /var/log shows a lot of messages like this:
Jul 18 11:44:30 arch kernel: dbus-daemon[23490]: segfault at 6fdf85e0 ip b7e5c2cc sp bfc86d10 error 4 in libGL.so.185.18.14[b7e35000+80000]
in messages.log and kernel.log...

I think I solved the problem!
I copied the contents of the 30-dbus script from xinitrc.d in my ~/.xinitrc, and changed this line:
eval `$dbuslaunch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
to this:
eval `$dbuslaunch --sh-syntax`
Apparently, the dbus daemon then keeps running: the process list shows this:
/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session
and dbus-monitor doesn't report any error.
Maybe it's related to the fact that I use wmii, not a heavyweight DE which would possibly take care of that dbus thing?

Dbus/KDE wont start! EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemo

Help! I'm not sure what I did, but now nothing that needs dbus will work, including KDE and all KDE apps, VLC, and alot of other programs as well.
I am using KDEmod (not sure if this makes a difference for my particular issue)
The error i am always getting is:
Could not connect to D-Bus server: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon
This happened some time around my last KDEmod upgrade to KDE 4.3, but i'm not sure if this had anything to do with it or not. I also may or may not have carelessly overwritten some vital configuration file with a .pacnew not understanding what I was doing (Still getting the hang of the ways Arch, although I must say I'm hooked for life)
I've hunted around for clues, and haven't found anything useful, and all my drives have plenty of free space. I've tried clearing out /tmp to no avail, and it's making me so sad! Reinstalling dbus hasn't helped either. I've been having alot of nostalgic fun using e16 in the meantime, but I miss KDE and most of my programs, does anyone have any idea what's going on?
Thanks!
Victor

I'm not absolutely sure but it shouldnt be wrong. I just remember XFCE4 also complained about dbus, been a while though. Ensure dbus is in the daemons array of rc.conf and/or start the daemon explictely,
If it still doesnt work I run out of ideas

This.
Really, you are just trying to make things overly complex. But I was just trying to tell you how to achieve your goal along the path you were taking. I too wouldn't involve systemd for such a task. The advantages that systemd provides just aren't necessary for such a process.
Edit: Besides that, I think you would have to specify the $DISPLAY as well somewhere in that setup. Either in the service file or the script you wrote.

[SOLVED] DBUS boot problems - Mounting system devices as a normal user

I have the [testing] and [community-testing] repositories enabled. A few days ago, probably due to an update, I started having trouble mounting devices and the shutdown/reboot options don't show up anymore on the LXDE exit menu.
I use gvfs for mounting devices as a normal user with PCManFM or Thunar. The error message is "Authentication is required".
After some testing, I found out that by restarting dbus, I could start mounting devices again:
/etc/rc.d/dbus restart
So my guess is that there's some problem with dbus startup. I have it in DAEMONS of rc.conf, as well as .xinitrc, the daemon seems to start correctly on boot, and it worked previously, so I have no idea of what could be wrong.
My ~/.xinitrc:
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
eval 'dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session'

I solved it.
The Wiki page for Mounting for normal users with PCManFM tells to create a "/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/55-myconf.pkla" file specifying the privileges to grant to the user. The problem is that it does not include the privilege needed to mount internal drives (which was what I was trying to mount). To fix it, I added:
;org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal
To the "Action=..." line.
(Though I have no idea why it worked before it broke, or why restarting dbus after initializing my WM fixed it.)
As for the power issues, I've concluded that it was working, but restarting dbus after initializing my WM broke it (my bad for not checking it before restaring dbus). So it all works now.

[SOLVED]dbus and systemd: "systemctl --user" gets "Connection refused"

Hi,
I want to enable some systemd user service. Here is what I get
$ LANG=C systemctl --user
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Connection refused
$ echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-RboLZS2wF3,guid=feb8bd85248906d12a826acd54e3c4ad
I don't believe I've ever touched dbus, so I'm a bit lost. There's the following line in my ~/.xinitrc:
exec dbus-launch xmonad
Seems like I'm not the only one with trouble on that topic, but I could not solve my problem.

Can't access trash files unless I run file managers with dbus-launch

What does dbus-launch do and why do I have to use it to be able to view certain things on my file managers. For example, recents, trash and network as well as removable media only work if I run:
dbus-launch nemo
Otherwise, if I just open up nemo normally, I will get an error saying 'Sorry, could not display all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported'.
What does 'dbus-launch' do? Can I get the same functionality without having to type that the same way every time? Can I set up a way for nemo to always start in this mode?
Thanks for any help.

use "systemctl status dbus.service".

[SOLVED] Can't remove VLC launcher in KDE

I've googled and searched the forum and can't seem to solve this. Recently a launcher for VLC began appearring on my KDE taskbar. If I delete this launcher it reappears at next login. I recall having a similar issue with a Firefox launcher (may not have been in Arch) and was able to solve it in plasma-desktop-appletsrc, however I see no mention of VLC or default media player in there now. Am I missing something obvious? It's not hugely important, but I don't need the launcher and it bothers me that I can't permanently remove it.
Last edited by claudecat (2012-05-29 19:22:16)

Figured it out - I had to comment out all lines in plasma-desktop-appletsrc that mention launchers, then logout, resulting in no launchers. I then readded the ones I wanted, logged out and in again and had only the ones I wanted. Strangely, the commented lines in plasma-desktop-appletsrc had disappearred. Marking this solved (like anyone here cares).

We are having an issue running Diadem 8.1 on a new HP XW 9400 with Windows XP SP2. 3 errors have been occuring with frequent crashes, they are:
1) "1Exception EAccessViolation in module ntdll.dll at 000111DE. Access violation at address 7C9111DE in module 'ntdll.dll". Read address 37363430.
2) The instruction at "0x7c9111de" referenced memory at "0x352e302d". The memory could not be "read".
3) ---Error--- DIAdem

We are using the same scripts and version 8.1 on a variety of Dell desktop computers (W2K and XP SP2) without any issue, looking for suggestions as this affects no other software on the HP XW 9400 other than DIAdem. Appreciate any suggestions.

Christian,
I will answer your questions in the text below. Thanks for your help.
Hi swillh,
I also would like to help you.
Unfortunately, The reported access violation in the central Windows ntdll.dll is very unspecific.
May be the following questions will help you to provide me more info.
1. You mentioned that the aut's and - I think - also the accessed text file reside on a server.
Is there a stable network connection?
The server can sometimes be a little slow but the connection is good. This computer is using the same connection that the prior computer utilized without issue.
Are the files accessed by multiple clients simultaneously?
It is possible that more than one computer can be accessing the same file, but again, this has never been an issue. We are reading the files only, not writing to them.
The processing routines we are running have used for over 5 years without any issues until adding this computer.
Is the text file read by one client while another client is writing the same file?
No, files are "read only"
2. Have you already tested opening the file with the FileOpen command before calling FR?
Yes
Do you see any chance to convert the aut to a vbs file? This gives you more alternatives in accessing text files.
3. What do you mean with "processing ATD's with 30 or more channels of data"? Where is the relation between ATD files and data channels?
Processing Crash Dummy data with file sets low in channel count (15 channels) result in successful processing without any crashes or access errors. When processing dummies with more than 20 channels we sometimes encounter these issues. The higher channel count may be the only common factor I can find in these faults.

Adobe Reader XI won't launch/read pdfs. No error message.

All of a sudden, reader xi wont launch, read pdfs, or download pdfs online. When I double click the program shortcut (or pdf I want to open) the mouse makes the "loading" animation....but nothing happens. No error message, just refuses to work. Re-installing temporarily fixed the problem. However, the next time i turn on my machine the problem returns! I'm at the point where I have to reinstall adobe everytime I turn on the computer .
Any advice would be welcome.
I'm on windows 7 btw

Launch Reader from PDF file in Google Chrome browser PDF viewer

Hello!
So I have a fillable PDF form which runs document level JavaScript to essentially render itself inactive (hides fields, etc.) if opened in anything other than Reader or Acrobat. This works great, especially in Google Chrome has known problems with submitting fillable PDF forms properly.
Here is an example form: https://luxsci.com/forms/6296/2251/Qlg5/Medical_Center_Intake_Form.pdf
Open in Chrome and it's unusable, there's a warning layer, and a JavaScript alert. Open in Reader or Acrobat and it renders fine and submit works great.
When the file is downloaded in Chrome it's saved locally, i.e. Chrome displays the file URL as: file:///C:/Users/David/Downloads/Medical_Center_Intake_Form%20(3).pdf
I am trying to make the process of opening the file from Chrome in reader as simple as possible for the end user. As such, I am wondering if there is a way to add a button which will launch Reader on the end-user's desktop/laptop and open this file?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks for your comments, but that isn't the issue. We provide form processing services and have developed an effective workaround via document level JS to render the form unusable and non-submittable (is that a word?!) if opened in anything other than Adobe Reader or Acrobat. The complaint we are trying to deal with is that non-tech savvy users can't figure out how to open the PDF in Reader when Chrome auto opens it for them in the built-in broken Chrome PDF viewer.
While I could certainly provide instructions for how to install/enable the Adobe Reader plugin in Chrome, the point is to avoid requiring the non tech savvy end-user to do anything other than click a button to open the file in Reader. So asking them to install/configure the adobe PDF plugin in their browser is not a feasible solution. So what I want is this:
-PDF opens in Chrome's built-in PDF viewer and user sees notice that they can't use the form in the current program.
-User can click a button saying "Open this file in Adobe Reader"
-Clicking the button launches the local computer's Reader application, and opens the file. The PDF is then rendered normally and can be filled out and submitted as normal.
I don't really think it's possible because of browser security restrictions against launching executables, but since the browser is just showing an embedded locally downloaded PDF file, I thought maybe there's a way...
Thanks!

Error: Access violation at 02271d4a in module observerdll.dll read address

I am using Delphi 5, SAP DI API for SAP 2004.
On a users machine, when we try to connect, we get an error "Access violation at 02271d4a in module observerdll.dll read address 00000000".
Anyone know why they could be getting this error? And what I need to do to fix it?
thanks
Bill

The problem is I have not been able to reproduce the problem on any of the machines in my office, this is only happening on a client machine. They have just the SAP client, and our program that uses the DI API.
I have instructed my client to search for that dll, and try to rename it, and rerun it. Not sure whether this will fix it or not.
Here is some example code I am using, I do not at this time know the exact point where the error is returning from, I assume from the Connect function.
function TtcSAP.Connect: string;
begin
// return empty on success
Result := '';
try
    // make sure it was created
    if not Assigned(oCompany) then
    begin
      Result := 'Error creating Company object.';
      Exit;
    end;
    if oCompany.Connected then
      oCompany.Disconnect;
    // Specify the user name and password
    oCompany.UserName := sUserName;
    oCompany.Password := sPassword;
    oCompany.DbUserName := sDbUserName;
    oCompany.DbPassword := sDbPassword;
    oCompany.UseTrusted := bUseTrusted;

    oCompany.language := ln_English;
    // Specify the Company database
    oCompany.CompanyDB := sCompanyDB;
    // specify the server
    oCompany.Server := sServer;
    // connect (0 = success)
    if oCompany.Connect() <> 0 then
    begin
      Result := GetLastError;
      if Trim(Result) = '' then
        Result := 'Connection failed.';

Show Me Messages When I Launch Reader

I have created a package ArcoRead.msi with a MST.
I was wondering if I could automate the following settings:
- Show Me Messages When I Launch Reader
- Don’t Show Messages While Viewing A Document
I want the first one to be deselected and the second one to be selected.
How can I manage that ? By customize package or by registry key ?
Any help is welcome.

found it myself using procmon.exe
This two entrys to disable "Messages from Adobe" (See Preferences > General)
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\IPM\bDontShowMsgWhenViewingDoc: 0x00000001
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\IPM\bShowMsgAtLaunch: 0x00000000
Would there be a HKLM solution as well. Does anybody know ?
For now I added the keys with the Adobe Customization Wizard 10 in my MST. Works perfectly.
Next step will be creating the file HideItems.js to hide Adobe Online menu items.

How to disable the EULA when launching reader 11 for the first time

I am using the install wizard for reader 11. I have created the mst file. when I install reader I also use a patch (msp) file .
In my mst I have following settings in the Property table of the Direct Editor:
AgreetoLicense is set to yes
EULAAccept is set to yes
when I launch reader the license agreement pops up and I have to accept. how do bypass that Eula?

I recommend the Acroba & Reader Enterprise Deployment Forum to reach the appropriate experts.
I assume you do have a Reader Redistribution License.
