Not sure if this is a dependency that is really required (I guess I could've tried connecting to a server after the exit, not sure if the dbus forwarder is required or just a nice feature), but I'm getting the following error:
2016-05-18 12:37:41,129 Warning: failed to load or register our dbus notifications forwarder: 2016-05-18 12:37:41,129 org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message 2016-05-18 12:37:41,129 if you do not have a dedicated dbus session for this xpra instance, 2016-05-18 12:37:41,130 use the 'notifications=no' option 2016-05-18 12:37:41,132 cannot load dbus helper: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message 2016-05-18 12:37:41,141 Error setting up our dbus server: 2016-05-18 12:37:41,141 org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message
... until I install dbus-x11
. Just thought it worth a mention while you're messing with packaging.
Good catch. Not sure how you figured out that you needed dbus-x11
as it's really not obvious from the generic looking error messages.
r12609 fixes this and will be backported since the new automatic dbus-launch was included in 0.17: #1104.
I think I found the package with some deductive googling, once I had the name it installed very easily.
Just tried to confirm the fix, only to realize the rpm I'd installed was r12608...
Backport to v0.17.x in r12619. Closing.
Milestone renamed
