dbus problem

Reported by: harlock59@… Owned by: MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.0.3
Keywords: Cc: nefar@…
Port: pidgin dbus

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

when i launch pidgin, i get this: 

pidgin
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display "/tmp/launch-yLTfKT/:0".
Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!

so i tried that: 

sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
sudo chown my_user:staff /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

but at the first line i get this: 

sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
launchctl: Error unloading: org.freedesktop.dbus-system

the first line here works but not the second one 

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist  this one works

launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist  this one doesn't
launchctl: CFURLWriteDataAndPropertiesToResource(/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist) failed: -10

Looks to me like dbus-system was never loaded in the first place. The correct instructions are displayed by port notes dbus.

Keywords: dbus removed

Also, what OS version are you using?

Resolution: → invalid
Status: new → closed

comment:4 and comment:5 might have solved the problem but were never acknowledged.
Closing with the hope that not seeing 

port notes dbus

was the problem.
