Ah, ok, yes. Momentary fetch difficulties. Guess there's nothing to fix about that then. > after your mail I checked what is in /Preferences/KDE and there was a link > to "tmp-macbook-pro-de-maxime.local" but then it says the original file is > missing, dead link. Ok, I guess you can delete that dead symlink then. Not sure if it causes any problems for it to stay there. >> This whole dbus business baffles me, and I'm not sure if the above is normal >> or if it is the source of the problem you're having. >> After launching /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/Amarok.app in the Finder by >> double-clicking it, I'd double-click /Applications/Utilities/Console.app and >> look for error messages. > > this is what I get: > > 03/08/10 18:36:26 [0x0-0xa50a5].org.kde.amarok[2423] <unknown program > name>(2423)/ mac_initialize_dbus: warning: unable to initialize D-Bus > environment! > 03/08/10 18:36:26 [0x0-0xa50a5].org.kde.amarok[2423] Dynamic session lookup > supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that > org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded! > 03/08/10 18:36:26 [0x0-0xa50a5].org.kde.amarok[2423] <unknown program > name>(2423)/: KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server: "Not > enough memory" > 03/08/10 18:36:26 com.apple.launchd[126] ([0x0-0xa50a5].org.kde.amarok[2423]) > Exited with exit code: 255 > > yes, it looks like dbus is part of the problem.
