Hi all,
I would like someone who is comfortable with D-Bus and PolicyKit (Wayne,
are you out there?) to confirm the following notes that I think should be
added to the Gnome GConf instructions:
1) If ${GNOME_PREFIX} is not /usr, then the following lines should be added
to the /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf file creation instructions:
<!-- Search for .service files in
/opt/gnome/2.30.2/share/dbus-1/system-services -->
<servicedir>/opt/gnome/2.30.2/share/dbus-1/system-services</servicedir>
2) If ${GNOME_PREFIX} is not /usr, then an /etc/dbus-1/session-local.conf
file should be created using these instructions:
cat > /etc/dbus-1/session-local.conf << "EOF"
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
"-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd";>
<busconfig>
<!-- Search for .service files in /opt/gnome/2.30.2/share/dbus-1/services -->
<servicedir>/opt/gnome/2.30.2/share/dbus-1/services</servicedir>
</busconfig>
EOF
#'s 1 and 2 are required so that the service directories are found by
the MessageBus (D-Bus) if ${GNOME_PREFIX} is not /usr.
3) If ${GNOME_PREFIX} is not /usr, then a file
(/opt/gnome/share/polkit-1/actions/org.gnome.gconf.defaults.policy) is
created. I am not sure that the file in that location (alternate GNOME
prefix) will be found by PolicyKit (polkit, actually). The man page for
polkit(8) says that policy files belong in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions
and does not specify any way to include alternate directories.
Question on #3 is: Is there a way to include alternate "action" directories,
or should a symlink be created to /usr or will PolicyKit find it
automatically in the alternate location?
