I just ran into a problem with vlc caused by d-bus. The latest version of d-bus does create /var/lib/dbus, but it does not populate it. vlc filed with:
process 4644: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/etc/machine-id": No such file or directory Running dbus-uuidgen --ensure generates /var/lib/dbus/machine-id and allows vlc to complete properly. We probably need to add the generation instruction to the book in the d-bus section. ---- Unrelated to d-bus, vlc complains and aborts if libgcrypt is not present. We need to add to the command explanations: --disable-libgcrypt: Use this switch if you don't have libgcrypt installed. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
