Description Otto J. Makela 2006-05-28 21:58:34 UTC
Description of problem:
Gnome-power-manager produces error on login instead of working.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-power-manager-2.14.3-1
dbus-glib-0.61-3.fc5.1 (both x86_64 and i386 versions installed)

How reproducible:
Upon fc5 installation I realized that there was no way to change the display
power management parameters, the screen saver just used the same setting I had
in xorg.conf. So I manually added the gnome-power-manager package. Now, upon
logging in to a gnome session, I get a popup error and the power preferences do
not seem to have any effect.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. The usual fc5 installation on x86_64
2. Manually add package gnome-power-manager
  
Actual results:
On logging in to a gnome session, you get a popup saying:
 Power Manager
 This program cannot start until you start the dbus session service.
 This is usually started automatically in X or gnome startup when you
 start a new session.
As far as I can tell, gnome-power-preferences setting changes have no effect,
I get the same popup when I try starting it.

Expected results:
No popups, and working gnome-power-preferences

Additional info:
The same thing seemed to work correctly on a fc5/i386 machine I tried it out on.

Comment 1 John (J5) Palmieri 2006-05-28 22:54:17 UTC
Looks like a dependancy issue.  gnome-power-manager should require dbus-x11.  Do
you have dbus-x11 installed?

Just to make things quicker, here's a complete list of packages on my computer.

Duplicates are due to having both x86_64 and i386 versions of some packages.

Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are no longer maintained. Is this bug still
present in Fedora 7 or Fedora 8?

This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and
will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
