DBUS reports Failed to start message bus: launch_msg("CheckIn") IPC failure: Operation not permitted when dbus-daemon --session is run on MacOSX 10.6.5

[SagadonGafringo@…]

I'm trying to install kdesdk4 and launch the tools. The port install worked. I followed all instructions to finalize the setup. The kde applications start, but sit in the dock and have to be forced to quit. I can run Gimp using X11 but it complains about not finding the dbus.

I launch with:

export DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET=/opt/local/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket
dbus-launch

Output:

Failed to start message bus: launch_msg("CheckIn") IPC failure: Operation not permitted

EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon

This seems to be related or similar to issue #21595

Sorry - I launch with:

export DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET=/opt/local/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket
dbus-launch

Upgrading to dbus 1.4.0 made it go away

Attached are the updated patch files that I used to get 1.4.0 to compile. 0003 did not need to be updated because it makes changes to a new file created by one of the previous patches. Portfile needs to be updated as well to use version 1.4.0 and matching md5sum etc. But then you can launch gnome and it works pretty well.

Monty19 is awesome. That is all.

Anyone care to verify these patches?

I gave it a shot:

• changed my local dbus Portfile to version 1.4.0

• corrected the checksum entries

• used trac-get to pull the above five patchfiles into my local dbus' files directory

• installed the whole thing no problem

So far all went through without trouble.

BUT, now no KDE4 application starts anymore, although I logged out and in again to make sure that dbus is properly reloaded.

kded4 and kmymoney4 simply stall without any reaction:

[ MP-devel ] :~ marko$ ps aux | grep dbus
marko    51274   0.9  0.0  2435116    532 s002  S+   11:37PM   0:00.00 grep dbus
marko    51146   0.0  0.0  2435472    692   ??  S    11:34PM   0:00.00 /opt/macports-test/bin/dbus-daemon --nofork --session

^C
[ MP-devel ] :~ marko$ /opt/macports-test/Applications/KDE4/kmymoney.app/Contents/MacOS/kmymoney
^C

What am I doing wrong here?

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Is this issue still an issue with #25178?

This ticket should be closed, dbus-daemon cannot be invoked manually on OS X, it MUST be launched via launchd otherwise you will get a permissions error.
