Details
Description: After updating to the git build of hal, xorg
(xfce, specifically) will no longer start. It pops up a
message claiming "Failed to execute dbus-launch...",
followed by a message relating to the xfce settings daemon
failing to load, and then dies. After reverting to the hal
0.5.11, xfce loads perfectly as user, using:
"exec ck-launch-session /usr/bin/startxfce4" and "startx" The issue also exists as a fresh user to the system. I could not get xfce to load without the ck-launch-session bit either, and attempting startxfce4 directly. It was confirmed that both the dbus and hal daemons were loaded properly. Additional info: * hal-0.5.12git20090406.46dc48-1 * halinfo-0.20090330-1 Steps to reproduce: |
This task depends upon
do you restarted the hal or reboted the machine?
See log files if encounter a message that can help.
There were similar reports on IRC (with gnome as well), so hopefully more information will appear. I did indeed try rebooting, but the issue was not cleared up (as hal/dbus were running for certain). As soon as I reverted hal + hal-info, and made no other changes to the configuration, xorg launched without any error. Automounting, input devices, etc. all work as expected.
Sorry for the noise ;)
