#17019: The dbus port should set up a session daemon -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: mp@dpj.sent.com | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: | Port: dbus -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Currently the dbus port doesn't set up a way for the session bus daemon to run on login. While X11 apps can use the dbus autolaunch functionality, applications that are compiled without X11 support cannot use dbus without a session bus already running. There are some comments at bug #16755 that are relevant. There are three ways to set up the session-daemon: by manually starting it with the app you want to run; via a startup script (eg .profile); or via launchd. Using launchd would be preferable, as that would mean only one session-bus instance per login. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17019> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
