#40819: evince is able to launch, but not able to open any pdf or image files ----------------------+---------------------- Reporter: hong@… | Owner: devans@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.0 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Port: evince | ----------------------+---------------------- Changes (by devans@…): * status: assigned => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: Yes, that would be a problem. The DBus session bus needs to be running for most if not all GNOME and KDE apps. On installation the dbus port provides the following message: {{{ ############################################################################ # Startup items have been generated that will aid in # starting dbus with launchd. They are disabled # by default. Execute the following command to start them, # and to cause them to launch at startup: # # sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus- system.plist # launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus- session.plist ############################################################################ }}} This only needs to be done once after installation. The system bus will automatically start at system startup. The session bus will start on login. I also note that if you don't do this, evince outputs the following message on the console: {{{ Failed to get bus connection: Session D-Bus not running. Try running `launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus- session.plist'. }}} Glad you got it working. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40819#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
