Description Kirk Coombs 2005-08-31 17:47:34 UTC 
I installed beta 4 with the KDE path, and would like to try banshee.

I installed it, and its dependencies, but launching gives:

Unhandled Exception: DBus.DBusException: Unable to determine the address of the
message bus
in [0x0003e] (at /usr/src/packages/BUILD/dbus-0.35.2/mono/Bus.cs:46)

I'm not seeing this; then again, I also have all of Gnome installed.  Maybe
we're missing a dependency?  It tried removing assorted dbus-1 packages that
aren't required by banshee, but banshee continued to work.

Was this a KDE-only install?

> Was this a KDE-only install? 
 
Yes.
Comment 3 JP Rosevear 2005-09-05 01:37:29 UTC 
What does `env | grep DBUS` show?
Comment 4 JP Rosevear 2005-09-05 14:49:11 UTC 
Also, is dbus-1-x11 installed?
Comment 5 Andreas Jaeger 2005-09-05 14:54:35 UTC 
dbus-1-x11 is not installed by default under KDE.

Stefan, please add it.
Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2005-09-05 15:06:51 UTC 
IMHO this is the wrong approach. If banshee needs dbus-1-x11 for running, it
must require it.
Comment 7 Andreas Jaeger 2005-09-05 16:49:38 UTC 
It should be required indeed - but we need it for several apps now (that miss
it) and it should be installed by default.
Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2005-09-05 17:09:56 UTC 
done.
Comment 9 Andreas Jaeger 2005-09-05 17:24:13 UTC 
Reopening - this is part of the solution.

I'd like to add it required by banshee as well - and have some release notes
for it (will take care of that tomorrow).
Comment 10 JP Rosevear 2005-09-06 18:27:24 UTC 
Re-assigning to gekker for the banshee dep fix.  Should confirm for fspot as well.
Comment 11 Gary Ekker 2005-09-07 16:16:06 UTC 
banshee, f-spot, and tomboy need this.
Comment 12 Andreas Jaeger 2005-09-07 16:18:40 UTC 
Ok, then please add them.
Comment 13 Gary Ekker 2005-09-07 20:36:29 UTC 
Submitted for all three packages.
