Package: dbus Version: 1.2.16-2 Severity: normal File: /etc/init.d/dbus Please, stop restarting other services when restarting dbus. At least some of these services can cope just fine with dbus going away and coming back, and those that cannot need fixing so they can. Restarting services forcibly when dbus restarts has led to much breakage past and present, such as:
- New nautilus windows popping up - Icons/applets disappearing from the panel - Network connections temporarily going away - X server losing input As a stopgap measure while waiting for services to get fixed, how about this: find out the init scripts that depend on dbus as you do now, *don't* stop them, go ahead and restart dbus, and then run "start" on those scripts afterward, which should nothing if the service remains running. I checked all the dbus-dependent scripts on my system, and "start" does indeed work fine with the daemon already running. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dbus depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 2.0.1-4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libselinux1 2.0.82-1 SELinux shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip dbus recommends no packages.
