Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2006-02-24 18:33:06 UTC
g-p-m will not work if you log in as root as the dbus session daemon has not
been started.

Please see: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-power-manager/bugs.html

Richard.

Comment 2 Brian Durant 2006-02-24 18:51:11 UTC
OK, but why do I have exactly the same symptom when I am logged in as a user? I
only tried to log in as root once to confirm the same symptom.

Brian

Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2006-02-24 19:15:44 UTC
Can you provide the verbose log of g-p-m please, and the version of g-p-m.
There's not a lot of information in your bug. What hardware have you got, have
you done any updates etc?

Comment 4 Brian Durant 2006-02-24 19:27:41 UTC
Sorry, I'm a newbie. I have a G5 tower single (PowerMac 9.1). FC is installed on
#1 SATA drive and OS X on SATA drive #2. The only thing I have done since I
installed the system, was run 'yum update'. I don't know anything about the
other things you mention.

Comment 5 Richard Hughes 2006-02-24 19:37:21 UTC
>Sorry, I'm a newbie.

Then I'll let you off... :-)

Can you log in as a user, and open a console.

There, type this:

killall gnome-power-manager
gnome-power-manager --verbose --no-daemon

and copy-paste the output into a new text file (all of it), then attach this new
file to this bug report. The error should be pretty obvious if it's crashing.

Thanks a lot.

Comment 6 Brian Durant 2006-02-24 20:59:59 UTC
Whew, that's good to know :-) OK, here you go:

$ killall gnome-power-manager
gnome-power-manager: no process killed
$ gnome-power-manager --verbose --no-daemon

Brian

Comment 7 Richard Hughes 2006-02-25 15:35:18 UTC
What's the output of:

/sbin/service messagebus status

If this is stopped, have you enabled messagebus in system-config-services?

Thanks.

Comment 8 Brian Durant 2006-02-25 22:21:15 UTC
Here is the output:

$ /sbin/service messagebus status
dbus-daemon (pid 2697) is running...

Sorry, I don't know what to stop or how to enable messagebus. Still a newbie :-)

Comment 9 Richard Hughes 2006-02-25 22:57:47 UTC
Does this work with SElinux turned off (system-config-securitylevel)?
Have you done all the updates to FC5T3 (yum update)?
What is your installed version of g-p-m (rpm -qa | grep gnome-power-manager)?

Thanks.

Comment 10 Brian Durant 2006-02-26 09:29:59 UTC
gnome-power-manager-2.13.91-1

I am not sure if SElinux is on or off. This may be another bug. Administration
-> Security Level. Icon in panel only comes on when I access "security level"
and goes off again when I leave. The panel itself states that SELinux is active.

Comment 11 David 2006-02-28 04:08:11 UTC
I also have the same problem with gnome-power-manager, however after filling out
the bug report, and having the file saved. 
I have noticed that my terminal window and any other window applications that I
open up the top portion on the window where it displays the window name and the
application of the window that I opened up (the one right abow the toolbar-
file-edit-view-go) does not exist and it is covering up the gnome panel. I can't
move the window or do anything with it... I can't even access my Gnome menue or
any other icons on my desktop. It's is glued on to the panel. Is this some kind
of bug that needs to be looked at... I all the current updates on my computer...

Here's a copy of the bug report I have saved on my computer:

Comment 12 Brian Durant 2006-02-28 10:57:49 UTC
The problem with the windows is not something that I am experiencing, but to get
the windows out from under the panel, you should try to press the option (ALT)
key and click and drag with the left mouse button. This can also be used if your
display isn't set correctly and you need to make changes in the preferences and
can't see the buttons because the windo takes up too much desktop space.

Comment 13 John (J5) Palmieri 2006-02-28 21:48:26 UTC
can you check to see if you have dbus-daemon in /usr/bin?  If so run rpm -qf
/usr/bin/dbus-daemon on it.  Thanks.

Comment 14 Brian Durant 2006-03-01 18:21:03 UTC
Nope, it isn't there.

Comment 15 John (J5) Palmieri 2006-03-01 18:39:51 UTC
Ok, well one of the problems that caused this with one of our developers was
that he had two version of the daemon that were ABI incompatable due to a failed
upgrade (he upgraded and turned off his computer in the middle).  Doesn't seem
to be your issue though.  

Have you upgraded to the latest rawhide to see if it is still broken in the
latest builds?  Thanks.

Comment 16 Brian Durant 2006-03-03 14:14:35 UTC
Yup, still broken.

Comment 17 Richard Hughes 2006-03-03 14:45:15 UTC
Can you try CVS for me please? There's lots of fixes in CVS, namely an important
fix for using DBUS 0.61, and plenty of others.

Comment 18 Brian Durant 2006-03-03 15:17:51 UTC
How do I do that (newbie) and after I have done this once, how do I change the
repositories back to what they are now? I don't want my system to live on the
bleeding edge forever :-)

Cheers.

Comment 19 Richard Hughes 2006-03-05 16:39:44 UTC
You can grab the newest package from rawhide now.

Comment 20 Brian Durant 2006-03-05 20:00:55 UTC
Thanks. I did that now I get this message at startup:

"Power Manager

This program cannot start until you start the dbus system service.

This is usually started by your operating system by default, and is normally
called messagebus.

It is strongly recommended you reboot your compter after starting messagebus."

Also still seeing udev and dbus error messages at boot.

Comment 21 Brian Durant 2006-03-05 20:03:01 UTC
I forgot to mention that I have noticed some libs are installed on my system in
"ppc" and "ppc64" versions. Not sure when that happened, but could that have
something to do with this issue as well?

Comment 22 Richard Hughes 2006-03-05 20:11:01 UTC
You need to fix dbus before g-p-m will run.


Comment 23 Brian Durant 2006-03-05 20:29:55 UTC
How?

Comment 24 Richard Hughes 2006-03-11 23:03:31 UTC
>How?

If this bug is still present in FC5 release, then please re-open.

>How do I do that (newbie)

I'm not sure you should be using rawhide if you describe yourself as a newbie.

Sorry I can't be more help, Richard.
