Details

I recently did a fresh 0.7.2 install from the new iso provided at the forums, then installed xorg etc and KDE 3.5.5 from extra. With this constellation, the KDE Media Notifier Daemon does not start and when i try to start it manually through kcontrol, i get the error message "The KDE Media Notifier could not be started".

After starting kded manually in a terminal and kded claiming about a missing libdbus-1.so.2, i created the missing link manually, and it works now:

cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3.0.0 libdbus-1.so.2

The weird thing is: On my other machine (upgraded from 0.7) with KDE 3.5.5 it works without the libdbus-1.so.2 link in /usr/lib, so i dont know whats happening here :)
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Works for me
Additional comments about closing:  Works fine here after a full clean installation, so I can't reproduce it here.

After the new installation, did you also update that installation?

The new installation was fully updated.

Here is the error message from kded (in german):

kded: WARNING: [KDEDModule* Kded::loadModule(const Kservice*, bool)] Could not load library. [ libdbus-1.so.2: Kann die Shared-Object-Datei nicht öffnen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden ]
kded: WARNING: [KDEDModule* Kded::loadModule(const Kservice*, bool)] Could not load library. [Bibliotheksdatei <b>libkded_mediamanager.la</b> ist über Ihren PATH nicht auffindbar.]

For more clarity, here is what i have done step by step:

1 - did an install from base-0.7.2-20061104-i686.iso
2 - enabled [community] and pacman -Suy etc...
3 - installed and configured xorg
4 - installed kde with pacman -S kde
6 - added hal, avahi, fam to rc.conf
7 - restarted the system
8 - the error occured
9 - removed kde and qt (pacman -Rd)
10 - tried with my own kde and qt packages
11 - same error

There is also a guy at the german forums who had this error. But he did it the other way: At first he installed my kde packages and when the error occured, he tried the kde from extra, but no chance...
