[gentoo-user] Can't Start Epiphany
Howdy all, I've just made a shiny new install and am using the Gnome desktop, but I cannot seem to start Epiphany. When I try, I get a dialogue box telling me: Startup failed because of the following error: Unable to determine the address of the message bus (try 'man dbus-launch' and 'man dbus-daemon' for help) I did run /etc/init.d/dbus start as root (and added that to default run level) and I did log out/in afterwards, and the problem persists. Any ideas? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Any ideas? is it possible that you are using gnome-2.16 without gdm ? if so, read this: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-2.16-upgrade.xml HTH, Matthias -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I use KDE, but it sb similar for you. My .xinitrc is : # PP 060514 : for KDE : to enable Epiphany xscreensaver dbus-launch startkde I start X from the raw command-line with 'startx', so if you're using the equivalent of 'kdm', it mb a bit more complex. Generally, I'm a fan of Epiphany, but occasionally it freezes the machine: there seems to be some bug perhaps involving Javascript. -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
