tmb does something like 'pkcon search name drakconf' works ? Component:
Release (media or process) =>
RPM Packages $ pkcon search name drakconf Failed to contact PackageKit: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PackageKit: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute program /usr/lib/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success this seems a serious dbus mistake (also should we not disable apper as default ?)

balcaen.john, lmenut, mageia, nicolas.lecureuil Manuel > you should add fwang as cc since he's the one working essentially on apper. According to comment #2 it seems that the issue is directly in packagekit not apper. I personnally thinks we should disable packagekit until we're able to provide a correct urpmi integration because currently (& since the start in fact) it's just broken.

release_blocker well, the reason for apper on the kde isos is that otherwise we will pull in a lot of gnome packages to satisfy the deps... :/ ah yes, but we can disable it no ? kde team ? Whiteboard:
3beta2 3beta2 =>
3beta2 where do you see apper ? i just started a LiveDVD ( not installed just started ) and i don't see apper in the tray In kde menu Nicolas. It's under Tools => System Tools => Apper after digging, i know why it doesn't work ( but not yet why it fails :) ). If you start as root : /usr/libexec/packagekitd i think that apper should work OK. can you confirm ?

packagekit Confirmed that does make it work Nicolas. I also notice the same problem using Dragon Player to view /dev/video0 It is missing a gstreamer plugin and when closed asks to search for it but clicking Continue shows it "Could not connect to packagekitd". yes this is not an apper bug but a packagekit or dbus one. is pkcon working on live gnome ?

9326 the bug is probably in dbus or install (see bug 9326). reinstalling dbus probably fixes it urpmi --replacepkgs dbus Hardware:

All Hi everyone! What is the situation on that bug on Beta 3? CC:
(none) =>
pierre-malo.denielou It was still valid in beta 3. We hope that it was fixed by dbus-1.6.8-4.mga3 (see bug 9326), but this needs to be confirmed. Whiteboard:
3beta2 =>
3beta2 3beta3 I think Luc's dupe suggestion above seems likely. Has anyone got a test machine with this problem on it to check the user/perms of dbus-launch-helper? |
