no flags Details

Description J Hoffman 2008-06-04 20:46:06 UTC
Description of problem:
I can connect with VNC but when it starts startkde or gnome-session I get the
above error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):i686 and x64_86


How reproducible:
Every time I try to connect with a vncviewer.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Vncserver is running of course from /etc/init.d.
2.Connect to the box with a viewer and see the message.
3.
  
Actual results:No desktop is seen KDE or Gnome.


Expected results: To see the KDE or Gnome desktop.


Additional info: I can run both KDE and Gnome from the console, but not from
within VNC.

Messages says to check installation, which is fine but which installation,
D-Bus, VNC(have uninstalled and reinstalled same result), KDE, X11, or xyz?

Comment 2 J Hoffman 2008-06-06 14:56:32 UTC
I disabled selinux "echo 0>/selinux/enforce" which allowed the desktop to appear
but created additional errors.

First one below and then see the attachment.

There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.

The last error message was:

An SELinux policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this
recipient (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.DBus" member "Hello"
error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.DBus")

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.

Not sure if I need to create new bug report for kdebase-workspace (startkde is
from this package), but I have a similar problem with rawhide, but I'm not
using VNC. It's happening from 4-5 days now (maybe after Sunday/Monday
updates), and I can't start kde 4 because of this error. Not using SELinux.
D-Bus appear to be running:

dbus      2238  0.0  0.1   2740   960 ?        Ss   09:38   0:00 dbus-daemon
--system
b         3182  0.0  0.0   2744   864 ?        Ss   09:39   0:00
/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 7 --print-address 9 --session
b         3183  0.0  0.0   3148   636 pts/0    S    09:39   0:00 dbus-launch
--autolaunch 09812309129203814920912029123812 --binary-syntax --close-stderr

Default runlevel is 3, so I'm starting kde with startx.
Must be some new change from last 5 days in another package, becasue
kdebase-workspace is from Jun 4-th.

Comment 4 Boyan Anastasov 2008-06-19 07:40:14 UTC
Found the answer in the mailing list. I had the broken qt with /usr/lib/qt4/bin
as symlink, but then I removed temporary files from rpm installation and
everything seemed ok. Didn't know that this directory must not be symlink.
Removed qt and reinstalled it again. Now kde starts without error.

Comment 5 Adam Tkac 2008-06-30 11:02:19 UTC
Could you please verify that this bug is still reproducable with
selinux-policy-3.3.1-72.fc9 or newer? It seems like dupe of bug #447631. Thanks

Comment 6 J Hoffman 2008-07-03 15:23:21 UTC
This appears to have been corrected with the current kernel
2.6.25.9-76.fc9.x86_64 installed yesterday.  Works both with Gnome and KDE.
