Description Timo Meinen 2007-01-25 16:43:49 UTC
I updated my system and after sys-app/dbus updated from version 0.62-r2 to version 1.0.2 my gdm didn't start anymore.

I re-emerged gdm, but it didn't help.

I had to downgrade my dbus back to 0.62-r2 to be able to login to my system using gdm.

Thank you
Timo

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update dbus from 0.62-r2 to 1.0.2
2.
3.

Did you run revdep-rebuild as dbus told you?

This problem also happened to me.
revdep-rebuild failed to compile gedit (first of 42 packages to emerge).

I solved the issue by
ln -sfn /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3.2.0 /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.2

(it is not very clean, but now gnome boots again).

emerge --resume --skipfirst && emerge gedit

Portage seems not to be able to sort the packages in the correct order.

Thanks, emerge is ongoing and new packages now link against the right version of dbus.

moumachine ~ # ldd /usr/bin/evince | grep dbus
        libdbus-glib-1.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2 (0xb7d12000)
        libdbus-1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 (0xb7ce2000)

Ok, then I close this as invalid...if Timo Meinen reports otherwise, this can be reopened.

Thank you very much. Gnome is running. :-)
