DBUS: issues .... automount

BW-userx · 02-16-2019, 09:48 AM

I got a e16 desktop up and running, it is set up to call a script to do this

Code:

	# Start DBUS session bus:
 	if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
	{
    		eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
 		echo "setting: $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"
    		export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
	}
	else
 		echo "alldone $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"
	fi

then call to exec e16 next, it was working, but now it looks to be a sporadic in nature. so if I slap that into rc.local and call it during start up, will that even work or cause any issues if it is to work?

or other ideas to make sure this is working. It is a pain if i am already doing something that prevents be from logging out and in again in the hope that the second time will be the charm so I will have automount working.

How are you starting your e16?
If you are booting to run level 3, and then using 'startx', then the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable needs to set in ~/.xinitrc. (Note that the startx script specifically unsets that variable, so setting it in rc.local will not work.)
If you are booting to run level 4 and using the kdm display manager, then the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable needs to set by a script called by the session desktop file /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/enlightenment.desktop. By default, that file has

Code:

Exec=enlightenment_start

You may need to adjust the name of the script, or add the code to set the variable in that script.

I'm using run level 4 and have a script in local/bin/e16start it runs that dbus then exec starte16 remember this is e16 before they changed everything to what people are seeing is todays enlightenment.

it is exacty like you're saying it is. kdm/e16.desktop -> /usr/local/bin/e16start -> /usr/share/e16/staerte16

I even put an echo in the script to created a file in my home dir with the dbus info and it is getting it,but still it is not working completely. it was working without a hitch after i set it up like this, then I redid my system partitions re-installed and now it is not cooperating.

I am using my other laptop - when i get back to that one I'll refresh my memory on this issue.
