 |
|
I was trying to use skype with telepathy, which requires to install a libpurple plugin, currently only provided by skype4pidgin-9999 (overlay package: funtoo, flora or powerman).
The plugin shows very strange behavoir: I can only add Skype accounts when I run "systemsettings" as root, otherwise it fails to display the account name input field. This is especially confusing as skype is only running on a session bus of an unprivileged user. Kopete can connect to Skype just fine.
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/skype.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>
<!-- ../system.conf have denied everything, so we just punch some holes -->
<policy context="default">
<allow own="com.Skype.API"/>
<allow send_destination="com.Skype.API"/>
<allow receive_sender="com.Skype.API"/>
<allow send_path="/com/Skype"/>
</policy>
</busconfig> |
It seemed odd to me that this file is in system.d instead of session.d, so I tried moving it (and restarting dbus), however without any perceivable effect.
Update: Added the file to both, and restarted dbus, which made it work.
