Neither slocate nor whereis, nor yet locate, gives me any output for Gnome-system-tools. I tried the GUI searcher, and it doesn't either. There are two other things of the Main Menu, in FC5 that seem relevant : one called Services, which requires root's password, and Sessions, which doesn't. Sessions let me type in dbus-x11, and Services wouldn't. > On my Mandriva system, the dbus service is called > 'messagebus' and I can restart it by entering 'service messagebus > restart' on the command line, as root. It might work for you (but I'm > not sure the commands on Fedora are the same). So I tried messagebus, and got this : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# locate messagebus /etc/rc.d/init.d/messagebus /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K03messagebus /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K03messagebus /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K85messagebus /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S22messagebus /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S22messagebus /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S22messagebus /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K03messagebus /var/lock/subsys/messagebus /var/run/messagebus.pid I tried the file command on the first few and the last two. It looks like the first is the only executable; so I copied it into Services, which now shows something called messagebus, running. But I *still* get the error instead of Epiphany opening! -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD Neo-Redneck Linux Convert FC5; CXO 5.0.1; Pine 4.64, Pan 0.14.2.91; Privoxy 3.0.3; Dillo 0.8.5; Galeon 2.0.1, Epiphany 1.6.5, Opera 8.54, Firefox 1.5 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. _______________________________________________ epiphany-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/epiphany-list
