** Summary changed: - dbus needs restarting needlessly (file monitoring broken?) + inotify regression in dbus 1.1.20 (with patch)
** Description changed: Binary package hint: dbus - #synce has seen an influx of hardy users with problems installing one of - our packages. Restarting dbus fixed the problem for them. This was not - needed with the gutsy version of the package, and so is likely a - regression. According to our contact at Mandriva, dbus 1.1.20 had a bug - which they had to patch for a while (before they moved to dbus 1.2.1, - which is fixed). + ** This will hurt anything that installs files to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ + ** - From IRC: + This bug was discovered after a large influx of users into #synce + following the Hardy release. In Gutsy, the SynCE PPA worked just fine. + However, when Hardy was released we started having trouble with one of + the packages that needed to install a file to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/. We + quickly worked out dbus needed a restart before the new system.d file + would be loaded. This was not the case with Gutsy - so this is a + regression. - 11:32 < ParkerJone1> Hello all. Trying to install synce on ubuntu hardy - following these instructions http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu - and ran into a problem. * Starting odccm odccm + Our contact at Mandriva was quick to tell us of a problem they had with + dbus 1.1.20 and link us to the patch. This was fixed in OpenSuse and + Mandriva very quickly, and the patch is quite small. Without this patch + the odccm package needs to restart dbus to install cleanly, which I + consider to be a bad thing. Apparently this was fixed so quickly + elsewhere that there isn't a bug #, either for Mandriva or dbus. - 11:32 < ParkerJone1> ** ERROR **: Failed to get bus name: Connection ":1.44" is not allowed to own the service "org.synce.odccm" due to security policies in the configuration file - 11:32 < ParkerJone1> aborting... - 11:32 < ParkerJone1> Any ideas? + The patch can be found at: + http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/dbus/current/SOURCES/dbus-1.1.20-fixmonitor.patch?revision=190617&view=markup&pathrev=190617 - (Note that our package ships the correct config file so that this error - doesn't occur) - - 12:21 < gdiepen[work]> Jc2k: I don't know anything about it, except for - the fact that after restart of dbus, odccm could be started without a - problem - - 12:32 < AdamW> Jc2k: we had to patch dbus for the above issue for a while - 12:32 < AdamW> Jc2k: hold on, let me pull out the details - 12:33 < AdamW> Jc2k: yeah, if you're on 1.1.20, it needs a patch - 12:34 < AdamW> jc2k / gdiepen / parkerjones : likely needs this dbus patch : - http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/dbus/current/SOURCES/dbus-1.1.20-fixmonitor.patch?revision=190617&view=markup&pathrev=190617 - 12:35 < AdamW> it's fixed in upstream 1.2.1 (at least, maybe 1.2.0 too, I dunno, we went straight from 1.1.20 to 1.2.1) + Please see below for a better description of what is going on: + http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.dbus/9182 ** Tags added: dbus regression -- inotify regression in dbus 1.1.20 (with patch) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221834 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
