Description Alex Boyd 2011-11-10 08:15:47 UTC

sys-apps/dbus-1.4.16-r2 - The new /etc/init.d/dbus file created when installing messes up dbus, I noticed this today when trying to start rhythmbox, 

All that needs to be done is re-add the line '/usr/bin/dbus-uuidgen --ensure' instead of the one that replaced it. It is definitely the new /etc/init.d/dbus file as using the dbus startup file from sys-apps/dbus-1.4.16 (stable amd64) on 1.4.6-r2 (~amd64) works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install sys-apps/dbus-1.4.16-r2
2. Do etc-update to replace old /etc/init.d/dbus
3. Do /etc/init.d/dbus restart (to restart dbus, will apparently stop X so be careful)
4. Attempt to start a program that requires dbus
Actual Results:  
Applications that require dbus won't start, or will run without features needed to be used via dbus.

Expected Results:  
Programs requiring dbus should start normally and features requiring dbus should work fine.

It appears bug #387713 is a work in progress.

As the other bug says, you should restart everything that uses dbus, including your desktop.

Yeah I tried re-emerging dbus (multiple times), rebooting the system, doing /etc/init.d/dbus restart, doing /etc/init.d/dbus stop then /etc/init,d/dbus start and the problem is still there, it's the line that was taken out from the dbus start up file in sys-apps/dbus-1.4.6-r2, and the problem is still there. Dbus shows saying it's started and worked when booting but dbus doesn't _actually_ ever start.
