Bug 164116 – dbus-1.0.2 incompatible with xorg-server-1.1.1-r4(r1)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Alexander Goomenyuk 2007-01-27 22:28:02 UTC]

X server refused login. No X session possible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
After "emerge --sync + emerge -auvD world"
1. dbus upgraded to 1.0.2
2. dubs-glib upgraded to 0.72
3. xorg-server upgraded to 1.1.1-r4
4. pam upgraded to 0.78-r5
... some more updates

Actual Results:  
X server refused login. No X session possible.
- If I use XDM as login manager, then I see login window. But X session closed immediately after login attempt.
- If I use GDM. Then I don't see any windows at all. Just observe the clock on snowing screen.

Expected Results:  
1. where are my windows gone :-)
2. hal daemon not available;
3. many dbus dependent application are broken;

Stable branch MUST be kept stable!!!

After downgrading the dbus to 0.62-r2 I am able to use X server.
1. But many application including hal use dbus-glib.
1.1. But there is only dbus-glib 0.72 ebuild. And this version depends on dbus >= 0.94; 
1.1.1. But dbus 0.62 and 1.0.2 stable versions available;

So no hal daemon available any more : (
I am not able to build dbus-glib-0.71 any more. Steev, please, return back this ebuild to portage :)

revdep-rebuild like you were told to do. works for everyone else

revdep-rebuild is the way to go. It's troublesome but that's how dbus devs intended it.

Yes, you are right. Rebuild fix everything.
