Hi Shaya, this observation might be related to your problem: I had a problem with the dcopserver during KDE startup. I'm working on a modified KNOPPIX 4.0.2 with a few Debian-Updates and some additional Unionfs-Branches. At some point KDE didn't start, giving a message along the lines of:
The message returned by the system was: Could not read network connection /home/username/DCOPserver_hostname__0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running. In a failsafe-session the dcopserver said "ICE Connection rejected!", after kdeinit tried to talk to it. The permissions on all relevant files in /tmp and ~/ were ok (according to 'ls'). If I started KDE as root dcopserver worked just fine. I couldn't make out any files that had unionfs-related permission problems. But my suspicion is that just this is the cause. Imho KDE is a bit too complex as a debugging tool. All this was happening using several unionfs-snapshots since snapshot-20051006-0924 up to 1.1.0 - I haven't tried earlier versions. And this was happening after I fiddled with the unionfs-branches. The usage/omission of delete=whitout made no difference too... The solution for me was to re-order some of the ro-unionfs-branches and to avoid overlapping directory structures in the branches. => Systems with several branches behave less predictable (wrt permissions) the more entangled the file systems are... This doesn't seem to be a new observation. ;-) Cheers, Birger Shaya Potter wrote: >is anyone able to run KDE from Debian stable within a unionfs union >correctly?
