#14774: Update of dbus instructions wrong -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: dersh@alum.mit.edu | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: dbus update launchctl | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- I did an upgrade to dbus (from 1.0.2_2 to 1.1.20_0) and when doing an upgrade or install dbus says: {{{ ########################################################### # A startup item has been generated that will aid in # starting dbus with launchd. It is disabled # by default. Execute the following command to start it, # and to cause it to launch at startup: # # sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.dbus.plist ########################################################### }}} However, that will not work correctly if you already have dbus installed and running. And it seems that the upgrade, without doing the install, will cause a bunch of continuous errors in the console logs. The solution that seems to have worked for me (and should be added to the upgrade instructions) is to do the upgrade, then to unload the old version (and remove the pid file, or the new one won't start), then load the new version: {{{ sudo port upgrade dbus sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.dbus.plist sudo rm /opt/local/var/run/dbus/pid sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.dbus.plist }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14774> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
