Description Gris Ge 2011-08-29 02:21:59 UTC

Description of problem:

abrtd need dbus which is provided by messagebus daemon. User might disable messagebus which cause abrtd cannot start:
===
abrtd: Failed to start: timeout waiting for child
===
abrtd -vvvv show the correct reason:
===
abrtd: dbus error: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
abrtd: Error requesting DBus name com.redhat.abrt, possible reasons: abrt run by non-root; dbus config is incorrect; or dbus daemon needs to be restarted to reload dbus config
abrtd: Failed to start: timeout waiting for child
===

You might also think about change the warning message of /etc/init.d/abrtd, it don't provide any useful information with "timeout waiting for child".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.1

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Stop messagebus daemon
2. Start abrtd daemon
  
Actual results:
abrtd start failed with meaningless error message.

Expected results:
Abrtd require messagebus in LBS header and provide useful error message to user.

this is printed out, but take a look at /var/log/message. The rest of error message is there. If you invoke abrtd without -d and -v it will put all logs into /var/log/message

that message comes from abrtd binary not from init script

Comment 2 Gris Ge 2011-09-01 08:27:30 UTC

Thanks for the info.

Then we only update the LSB header as the subject of this bug.

Comment 3 Nikola Pajkovsky 2011-09-07 15:02:56 UTC

I'm going to close the bug as NOTABUG. The reasonable message is printed out to /var/log/messages when -d and -v options are not specified.

Feel free to reopen for rhel6.3 if you think that message needs to be printed out for stderr without options -d and -v.
