kmymoney4(-devel) will not start when launched from finder

[linuxstuff@…]

Hi Guys still having some problems with Kmymoney4. Using snow Leopard 10.6.8, Xcode 3.2.5. When I go to finder I and type in Kmymoney it launches the program then a few seconds it launches drkonqi and a error report is created. Please see attached. I think I looked at a previous case #27205 which appears to be similar to my case.

I have uninstalled kmymoney4 and re-installed it again however I still get no joy.

Regards Kevin

I've attached a more recent crash report in the last minutes the first one is an old log sorry about that.

Did you try whether the error also happens with kmymoney4-devel port?

[linuxstuff@…]

Hello I've installed the latest version of Xcode for snow leopard 3.2.6,uninstalled kmymoney4, installed kmymoney4-devel did a selfupdate and upgraded outdated ports too. I ran kmymoney from the finder tool, kmyoney4-devel starts bouncing on my dock bar, looking good then, the drkonqi icon appears on my dockbar then a error log is generated. please see attached file. I appear to have problems running any kde4 applications. I installed kate and that crashes too.

Regards Kevin

What does

ps aux | grep dbus

report on your system?

On what do you get for

launchctl list | grep dbus
sudo launchctl list | grep dbus

over there?

[linuxstuff@…]

hello when I run ps aux | grep dbus I get the following: -- ps aux | grep dbus messagebus 79 0.0 0.0 2435472 716 ?? Ss 5:21PM 0:00.01 /opt/local/bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork doggieboneuk 15066 0.0 0.0 2426928 336 s000 R+ 11:02PM 0:00.00 grep dbus

launchctl list | grep dbus

sudo launchctl list | grep dbus Password: 79 - org.freedesktop.dbus-system

Please use code formatting (that's achieved with the three curly braces) for your console output.

But what I already see from above is that your session dbus isn't working correctly. No dbus process with --session is alive. Also the user's launchctl's output is empty.

What you must do is to start your session dbus as the user you are logged on with by calling

launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

That should start up the agent. Verify whether it has been started with the above "launchctl list" command. If it still doesn't get started you may have run into the same problem as I did previously in issue #29409 .

[linuxstuff@…]

thank for the advice on formatting :)

When I run the above command I launchctl command and check the two list I get the following

launchctl list | grep dbus

{{{sudo launchctl list | grep dbus

• 0 org.freedesktop.dbus-session

79 - org.freedesktop.dbus-system}}}

I then tried to start kmymoney4-devel from finder tool it still errors I'm afraid.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Curly braces for code formatting are generated with the 5th icon above the editor text input box.

{{{
And your input hasn't been rendered correctly since there was no space after and before the starting and ending braces.
}}}

Please try again the

ps aux|grep dbus

but I think this time you should see both processes running.

What does irritate me already is that your first launchctl command (as the login user) doesn't return a result...

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Better use newlines after the curly braces, that makes code or console output more readable.

[linuxstuff@…]

Oops i think I've got it now.

I tried the command again it now has a output.

ps aux | grep dbus
messagebus    79   0.0  0.0  2435472    716   ??  Ss    5:21PM   0:00.01 /opt/local/bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork
doggieboneuk 15202   0.0  0.0  2435120    436 s000  R+   11:58PM   0:00.00 grep dbus

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Well, here we see that only the system dbus is actually running...

That's not enough. :-(

The session dbus needs to be working as well...

I understood that you've executed the launchctl command from ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31065#comment:11 so, I am afraid you've got into the same mess like me, i.e. that you're unable for some reason to start the dbus session correctly.

Right now I am unfortunately unable to help you out of this mess, since - as described in #29409 - I cannot say as to why loading dbus session fails. (For some reason after weeks and weeks of unability to run KMyMoney4 I am able to run it again today for the first time. And, funnily enough, I don't know why it works all of a sudden. All I see now is that both system and session dbus run now, which makes KMM4 work w/o trouble.)

I just wonder what we can do now to get you into a working state...

[pixilla (Bradley Giesbrecht)]

Try this:

$ sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
$ launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
$ sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
$ sudo launchctl list | grep dbus

If the last command returns nothing then lets try what the dbus notes say:

$ port notes dbus
$ sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
$ launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

[linuxstuff@…]

sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
launchctl: Error unloading: org.freedesktop.dbus-session

launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
launchctl: Error unloading: org.freedesktop.dbus-session

sudo launchctl list | grep dbus

I get no response from the above command.

I ran the commands below port notes gave me the commands as you listed, the other two commands did not error, but i did not any responses either.

I ran the following command as before and received the following below.

sudo launchctl list | grep dbus
998	-	org.freedesktop.dbus-system

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

What does

launchctl list | grep dbus

return in your case?

[linuxstuff@…]

If I do the above command I get the following

sudo launchctl list | grep dbus
1487	-	org.freedesktop.dbus-system

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Please execute, as requested, the command without "sudo"! :-)

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

I just realize that a running session dbus isn't actually a sign of a malfunction, since here in my case I see that the session dbus gets started automatically when I run kmymoney4(-devel).

$ ps aux | grep dbus
marko     8678   0.8  0.0  2435116    532 s000  S+   12:44PM   0:00.00 grep dbus
messagebus    52   0.0  0.0  2435472    712   ??  Ss   12:35PM   0:00.01 /opt/macports-test/bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork

$ (kmymoney)...

$ ps aux | grep dbus
marko     8684   0.0  0.0  2446936    864   ??  S    12:45PM   0:00.01 /opt/macports-test/bin/dbus-daemon --nofork --session
messagebus    52   0.0  0.0  2435472    712   ??  Ss   12:35PM   0:00.01 /opt/macports-test/bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork
marko     8703   0.0  0.0  2435116    532 s000  S+   12:45PM   0:00.00 grep dbus

So, I guess we need other means to figure out why your system won't allow you to start any KDE apps.

Did you see this ticket comment: ​http://trac.macports.org/ticket/27205#comment:46? Perhaps installing kate helps in your case.

What happens if you call

kbuildsycoca4

and try running KMM afterwards?

[linuxstuff@…]

When I run the following command I get

launchctl list | grep dbus
-	0	org.freedesktop.dbus-session

[linuxstuff@…]

How do you run kmymoney on the commandline, when I type kmymoney4-devel I get the following error but I think I doing this wrong.

iMac:~ doggieboneuk$ kmymoney4-devel
-bash: kmymoney4-devel: command not found

[linuxstuff@…]

Hi there I looked at the ticket you mentioned I used the following command

sudo port uninstall installed

Then I ran the following command

sudo port install kmymoney4

All was going well until it failed on this point.

I tried to clean and re-install(qjson) however it still failed. Oh dear will I have to uninstall the entire port and start again?

[linuxstuff@…]

Guys

Please don't do any further investigations, I've had to remove kmymoney4-Devel and install Kmymoney 1.0. I was hoping this would be a pain free upgrade but I really do rely on kmymoney for my personal finance.

I'd just like to say thanks for your help and patience. I'll have to install Kmymoney4 in vmwarefusion and try it there.

Thanks guys for your help.

Regards kevin

The qjson port (along with a couple ports) is currently broken because of a regression in MacPorts 2.0.2. This will be fixed shortly by the release of MacPorts 2.0.3. See #31073 for more info.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Oh, no, unfortunately this upgrade isn't pain-free. :-( Never had been, really.

Anyway, I myself also use KMM 1.0.5 most of the time. It's reasonably stable, faster and does almost everything I need.

I brought KMM 4.x to MacPorts to support its further development. That's why port info shows that these ports are EXPERIMENTAL.

Thanks for trying, linuxstuff.

I'm closing this ticket then.
