It seems to be happen only for root. At leopard no desktop is running. If I login via ssh from a remote system as user rose, I can start meld, if I do 'su -', I can't start meld with the indication described in the last posting.
Now I have the same behaviour at the second system.
Obviously is dbus running: root@wildcat:/root(3)# meld (meld:7153): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-yZ29CAQrus: Connection refused Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/meld", line 138, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/meld", line 129, in main from meld.meldapp import app File "/usr/lib64/meld/meld/meldapp.py", line 199, in <module> app = MeldApp() File "/usr/lib64/meld/meld/meldapp.py", line 113, in __init__ self.prefs = preferences.MeldPreferences() File "/usr/lib64/meld/meld/preferences.py", line 265, in __init__ super(MeldPreferences, self).__init__("/apps/meld", self.defaults) File "/usr/lib64/meld/meld/util/prefs.py", line 93, in __init__ self._gconf.add_dir(rootkey, gconf.CLIENT_PRELOAD_NONE) glib.GError: No D-BUS daemon running root@wildcat:/root(4)# ps -ef | grep dbus | grep -v grep 101 4352 1 0 21:27 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system rose 5726 1 0 21:40 pts/0 00:00:00 dbus-launch --autolaunch 08cee2d744c6e349f087c0da00008085 --binary-syntax --close-stderr rose 5727 1 0 21:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session
Does "dbus-launch meld" work? (also CCing dbus maintainers)
