Wierd D-Bus error when I try to start nautilus or rhytmbox

[bladdo]

Code: Select all

 [root@blueberry pts/0] rhythmbox

2 new packages I just emerged, neither work, both fail with the same error message?

How do I fix this?

[tatotato]

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/messagebus reload
/etc/init.d/messagebus restart 

Try it out, report back with result, rinse, lather, repeat if desired.

[bladdo]

Code: Select all

[root@blueberry pts/4] /etc/init.d/messagebus reload
bash: /etc/init.d/messagebus: No such file or directory
[root@blueberry pts/4] /etc/init.d/messagebus restart
bash: /etc/init.d/messagebus: No such file or directory

I am having a dbus and gvfs problem that looks somewhat similar to this one, but is distinct. I'm taking a chance that the person who suggested a solution would understand the bug I am experiencing. It involves lack of permission for user to run certain apps.

In gnome, when I try to run gnome-system-monitor a window flits by. Started in a term, the error is thus:

alan@localhost ~ $ gnome-system-monitor
process 4851: 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 3289.
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
Aborted

The same happens with avant-window-navigator, and I cannot run the user profile editor, get a message that the user does not have permission... (which in this case makes some sense). No user can run gnome-system-monitor, and root can.

I have run emerge -e system and emerge -e world.

Thank you

Alan
