Description Andrew Speer 2006-07-31 14:48:01 UTC

Description of problem:

freenx will not work if dbus-x11 is not installed, but it is not a dependency.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.5.0-2.fc5

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install freenx without dbus-x11 package, 
2 .Configure clients to use kde
3 .Clients will be able to authenticate but session will not start.

Additional info:

The nxloadconfig file (part of freenx) contains references to dbus-launch in the
 COMMAND_START_KDE and COMMAND_START_GNOME variables. If dbus-launch is not
available neither desktop environment will start. 

There are no clear errors indicating that the missing dbus-launch is the problem
 when this occurs, which make it hard for the average user to troubleshoot. 

Action:

Suggest adding dbus-x11 as a dependency in the freenx package.

Thanks,

Andrew Speer

this seems to be fixed in release 4:

$ rpm -qR freenx | grep dbus-x11
dbus-x11
