#26712: dbus @1.2.24_1: Start error - Socket error -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: fokkovisser@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: dbus -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- I've been wrestling with this problem for day's . When I start dbus i got this error: {{{ Failed to start message bus: launchd's environment variable DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET is empty, but should contain a socket path. EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon }}} I installed dbus in combination of gnome on a ppc64 machine with 10.5.8. I googled it much and i seems to me a specific problem with dbus, mac osx 10.5.8 and a ppc machine. I did run the command {{{ sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus- system.plist }}} and/or {{{ launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist }}} Nothing worked out for me.
