Upgraded to 'current' and Now Have Dbus Problems, Among Others.
Upgraded to 'current' and now have a series of problems.
First, when trying to 'startx' to fire up KDE I get the following error message, "Could not start d-bus. Can you call qdbus?" If I try Xfce it gives this similar message, "Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch d-bus sessions. When logging in, but before entering the password this error message pops up: 'Dialups-check-enab' 'nologin-str' 'Configuration error - unknown item. (notify administrator)' Any suggestion on how to fix all the above would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :hattip: |
Did you make sure you dealt with all the .new files that were left on your computer? Specifically, the .new files in /etc/rc.d ?
Thinking of /etc/rc.d/rc/udev.new , /etc/login.defs.new , ... Eric |

Most of these .new files will be configuration files, but some are startup scripts (those in /etc/rc.d/). You should always check the changes in the .new files compared to the original ones, and in many cases, copying the .new file over the original one (i.e. overwriting the old with the new) is the proper procedure. Especially the new rc-scripts will be often required for proper functioning of your computer. Eric |
Many Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I've done as you have suggested, i.e., I'v searched for *new files and reviewed and copied over what I found, but the problem remains. From searching on the 'Net this appears to be something to do with gcc, but I haven't found anything that looks like the answer. |
OK. I did a text search and found the two lines,
'Dialups-check-enab' 'nologin-str' in the same file, /etc/login.defs. After going in and commenting out the lines the problem was solved. Just FYI. :hattip: |
