Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))
I have installed kmymoney4 via macports, but when trying to start it, it crashes after several seconds with the following messages:
kmymoney(52611)/KSharedDataCache ensureFileAllocated: This system misses support for posix_fallocate() -- ensure this partition has room for at least 10547296 bytes. kmymoney(52611)/KSharedDataCache: Unable to find an appropriate lock to guard the shared cache. This *should* be essentially impossible. :( kmymoney(52611)/KSharedDataCache: Unable to perform initial setup, this system probably does not really support process-shared pthreads or semaphores, even though it claims otherwise. kmymoney(52611)/KSharedDataCache: Unable to unmap shared memory segment 0x114edd000 Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded! kmymoney(52611)/kdeui (kdelibs): Session bus not found To circumvent this problem try the following command (with Linux and bash) export $(dbus-launch) KCrash: Application 'kmymoney' crashing...

Make sure that dbus is running.
Please follow the notes concerning installation given in port dbus!

Sorry for malformatting the bug report, I will do it the next time in the right way.
Thanks for the hint with starting dbus manually. I tried to find any documentation, but I didn't find any... Could you give me a hint, where I can find any information what I have to do to start kmymoney4?
I have found something that dbus have to be started with this command:
{{launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist}}
But I get only the message "nothing found to load".

Sorry, I have used the wrong meta commands for wiki markup and it's not possible to edit my post... I am to stupid for this ;-)

@ markusd112: Use the following to tell you how to start dbus:
port notes dbus

Thanks a lot! It works!
Maybe a suggestion: isn't it possible to add some information during installation of kmymoney, that the user has to manually add the dbus daemon in the launchd to be started during boot?

Hi Markus,
I am happy to see that you got it up and running.
Well, actually, the message you saw with the above command also appears during the installation of kmymoney4(-devel) when it comes to dbus. The installing user simply has to attentively follow the install procedure. I don't think it makes sense to let kmymoney4(-devel) point this out once more, since that concerns in principle all KDE programs and would then add unnecessary clutter to the installation output.
So well, I'll close this issue.

Actually, the message
########################################################## # Don't forget that dbus needs to be started as the local # user (not with sudo) before any KDE programs will launch # To start it run the following command: # launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist ##########################################################
appears here on my end for every single port using dbus.
So, I'd say there is enough effort to alert the user. :-)

If this message appears at the end of the overall installation e.g. of kmymoney4 it's sufficiant... in most cases the user is the main problem, who doesn't read such messages ;-).
Or would it be possible to add the dbus starting command in a shell script, that is starting kmymoney as example? For me as user it looks like this: there appears a new icon in the mac os bay to start kmymoney. When I start it, it is doing something and closes again after 30 seconds. So it could be a solution, to start dbus while clicking on the kmymoney app icon... to make it more easier for users who are not so familiar with all this technical things, like me ;-).

Well, actually, 2 years ago we did something similar for another reason for kmymoney 1.0.x which is based on KDE3 (which unfortunately doesn't build anymore nowadays). There is a little AppleScript starter app which does additional checks and modifications to the user's setup before actually starting KMM. We did that in such a way because of exactly those arguments you just came up with.
But I guess this discussion is better transferred onto the mailing list, since it's a more general problem to all KDE4 apps.
