Description Rob Crittenden 2013-02-19 04:01:43 UTC
Description of problem:

I have a very minimal install with just enough X11 to be able to run remote X clients. Without the dbus-x11 package installed meld fails:

$ meld
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/meld", line 154, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/meld", line 140, in main
    already_running, dbus_app = meld.dbus_service.setup(app)
  File "/usr/share/meld/meld/dbus_service.py", line 54, in setup
    bus = dbus.SessionBus()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 211, in __new__
    mainloop=mainloop)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 100, in __new__
    bus = BusConnection.__new__(subclass, bus_type, mainloop=mainloop)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 122, in __new__
    bus = cls._new_for_bus(address_or_type, mainloop=mainloop)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message

/bin/dbus-launch is provided by dbus-x11.

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

meld-1.7.0-1.fc18.noarch

Comment 1 Christoph Wickert 2013-02-19 10:07:34 UTC
It also needs to require dbus-python:

grep -r "import dbus" meld-1.7.0/meld
meld-1.7.0/meld/dbus_service.py:import dbus
meld-1.7.0/meld/dbus_service.py:import dbus.bus
meld-1.7.0/meld/dbus_service.py:import dbus.service
meld-1.7.0/meld/dbus_service.py:import dbus.mainloop.glib
