This seems to be related with a lots of system messages of the form [system] Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.8" (uid=1000 pid=3221 comm="kded4) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.CPUFreq" member="GetCPUFreqAvailableGovernors" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=2440 comm="/usr/sbin/hald)) which occur here since the update to dbus-1.2.24. A downgrade fixed it for me. *** Bug 314509 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** A downgrade fixed it for me. I use powerdevil-4.4, but someone reported it works with powerdevil-4.3. Downgrading dbus solved one more problem which I blamed xorg-server-1.8 for: closing the kde session I had a black screen and the system freezed instead of giving me kdm. Now it works flawlessly... O_O Downgrading dbus solves to me too. (In reply to comment #3) > I use powerdevil-4.4, but someone reported it works with powerdevil-4.3. I can confirm, no problem here with kde 4.3.5 with dbus 1.2.24 *** Bug 314485 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 227505 [details]
dbus error msg's
this has extended to my sound card as well but only with my intel-hda pc. My other sound cards (mainly the ICH 8x0 AC'97) appears to work fine.
Again this is only an issue for me with kde 4.4.2 and dbus 1.2.24. Downgrading dbus back to 1.2.3 fixes the problems.
Attached is a small portion of the miles and miles of "[system] Rejected send message, 1 matched rules;" error msg's in the /var/log/messages log file.
I think that's the problem is related from a access list deployed by dbus in the configurations. Compared with 1.2.13 the configs files under /etc/dbus, have a lot of changes I don't know much about dbus, so I can't do the solution. Has anyone rebuilt hal after the update rather than downgrade to dbus 1.2.3? Did it help at all? I don't use KDE at all, but I know there are other people who do and they haven't reported anything to me about this. Also, which version of hal do people have installed? I recompiled sys-apps/hal-0.5.13-r2 but it didn't solve the problem. Can you reinstall whatever apps are causing these messages as well? I do apologize for the inconvenience, but I do not run KDE at all, so I'm not sure of what commands to run, but please be sure to update any config files, as dbus 1.2.24 is much stricter in its handling of the configurations (this is a security fix, so downgrading to 1.2.3 will *not* remain an option) afaik consolekit-0.3.0-r2 is too old for dbus-1.2.24, someone should give consolekit-0.4.1 a try. ref. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-823185-highlight-.html I already have consolekit 0.4.1 and I use hal ~amd64. I obiouvsly replaced the old config files with the new (._cfg) and I recompiled powerdevil, but it didn't help. Hello all, I do the following steps that's work form me: emerge dbus; etc-update; (add myself to plugdev group); logout from kde; restart dbus - /etc/init.d/dbus restart restart kdm - /etc/init.d/xdm restart Anyone can confirm it? I made too this but I don't understand why in this case work and not normally using the correct way with users group added to plugdev (where in users are insert all system users like me, my brot and my dad) (In reply to comment #15) > Hello all, > > I do the following steps that's work form me: > > emerge dbus; > etc-update; > (add myself to plugdev group); > logout from kde; > restart dbus - /etc/init.d/dbus restart > restart kdm - /etc/init.d/xdm restart > > Anyone can confirm it? > (In reply to comment #15) > Hello all, > > I do the following steps that's work form me: > > emerge dbus; > etc-update; > (add myself to plugdev group); > logout from kde; > restart dbus - /etc/init.d/dbus restart > restart kdm - /etc/init.d/xdm restart > > Anyone can confirm it? > Adding your user to plugdev group, bypass consolekit functionality, allowing your user to control hardware even when logged in remotely. This is not a solution, but a workarround. Looking at dbus homepage (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus) and reading the email in http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2008-December/010769.html, I think that dbus-1.2.3-r1 should be upgraded to 1.2.4.6permissive until application policies will be fixed, then it could be updated to 1.2.24. I suggest to revert dbus-1.2.24 unstable and to add dbus-1.2.4.6permissive to portage. Created attachment 229379 [details]

I'm sorry Bruno, but no, that is not going to happen. The applications need to fix their policies, and this has been in the works since 2008 - if they haven't fixed them yet... what exactly will force them to when we add the "permissive" branch? I'm sorry that it is inconvenient, but we are not going to add the permissive branch to the tree, because in the past year and 3 months, people didn't bother to fix their software. Alright has anyone tried `USE=policykit emerge -avuDN world` and see if that resolves their issues? It seems policykit is not optional anymore. USE=policykit resolves both powerdevil and sound card issues on my system. IMHO if policykit is not optional anymore, it should be added to /usr/portage/profiles/targets/desktop/make.defaults like consolekit. Adding policykit to /etc/make.conf's USE solves the problem here, too.

What do you precisely mean by 'access on USB devices' and are you really sure that dbus is the reason? I can print on a USB printer and I can mount USB mass storage devices. Anyhow, if this actually is an issue of dbus I guess it should be moved to a new bug report.

Because I use policykit now as suggested you gotta add some rules in /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf: <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable"> <match user="add your user here"> <return result="yes"/> </match> </match> <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed"> <match user="add your user here"> <return result="yes"/> </match> </match> If you add yourself to the "match user" section it works. If this is really a need and a workaround to get dbus 1.2.24 work as supposed to be then it should be documented somewhere. Possibly as information text after the installation. Does anyone know if you can use "match group" instead of "match user"? I gave it a try but it didn't work somehow. adding USE=policykit didn't help me at all... Please tell us your kde version. Is this still a problem with 4.4.4? I am s(In reply to comment #28) > Please tell us your kde version.

Still get error messages of disconnected sound devices and USB sticks cannot be connected too. We are talking about that for month right? is this bug still valid? Running dbus-1.4.1 with powerdevil-4.5.5 without problems, but had the problem reported months ago with an old dbus version. |
