#22272: dbus default of --without-x cause errors like "GConf error Failed to contact configuration server" ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: fernasser@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: GConf | Port: dbus ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- This affects several applications, like file-roller (on Snow Leopard). My version of dbus is: @1.2.16, Revision 1 (devel) It has also been reported in the past and people have been rebuilding it with x but it is hard for the less savvy. Here is a good reference to a similar problem and a proposed fix: http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16755 May I suggest you change the default? I am not sure if one could get all applications affected to specify a variant (with-x) instead. I am not sure why the default is without X). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22272> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
