#22272: dbus default of --without-x cause errors like "GConf error Failed to contact configuration server" ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: fernasser@… | Owner: mcalhoun@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: GConf | Port: dbus ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Changes (by macsforever2000@…): * owner: macports-tickets@… => mcalhoun@… Old description:

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).

The solution is to make dbus/launchd work, not to rebuild it with X support. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/22272#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
