 Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2009 12:38 pm Post subject: [solved] Problems with thunar and hal |
 |
|
Hi,
For a long time I've been using Gentoo without HAL, since I only had bad experiences with it. Yesterday I decided to try hal once again. I faced a few problems but overcame them easily, all but this one.
When I try to run thunar as a normal user when it's compiled with USE="hal", I get this:
| Code: | ~ % thunar
process 18820: arguments to dbus_connection_send_with_reply_and_block() were incorrect, assertion "(error) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((error))" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 3301.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
zsh: abort thunar
|
I don't know if this is thunar specific or not, since I don't use that many GUI programs. Sonata uses dbus but not hal and it works fine, though. Pulseaudio also starts up fine with the hal plugin enabled (though I'm having a bucketload of other issues with PulseAudio, but they're beyond the scope of this thread).
However the same build of thunar starts up fine as root, so this must be some kind of configuration issue? I had to add some permissive rules to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ for pulseaudio to be able to use the hal plugin (I got permission denied errors before that), but I don't really know what should I add for thunar in there. And since I haven't found any information about this by googling or searching the bugzilla, this might be a HAL/DBus configuration issue somewhere else.
Here's some additional information:

Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Solved!
I had to create and add this to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/myuser.conf:
| Code: | <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
"-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>
<policy user="jh">
<allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.Hal"
send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device"/>
<allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.Hal"
send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager"/>
</policy>
</busconfig>

That did the trick for me. Thanks. I noticed that myuser.conf was the literal name, not to be replaced with "username".conf, where the actual username is entered in the config file.

Did not work for me, but hal seem to to broken on my system anyway so it may be the problem. Emerging thunar with -hal solved my problem.
@krovisser: Thx for the link |

I had the same issue running xfdesktop.
Following your solution did the trick for me.
Thx

| Are you in the plugdev group? It looks like if you are the same settings should be there already in the default /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf. |
