greetings. i have kde 4.5.1 installed on freebsd 8.0 amd64 with dbus-1.2.24_2

dbus system services dir: /usr/local/share/dbus-1/system-services/
dbus system services conf dir: /usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.d/

kde places files for dbus into:
services: /usr/local/kde4/share/dbus-1/system-services
configs: /usr/local/kde4/etc/dbus-1/system.d

Code: Select all

$ tail /usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.conf
  <includedir>system.d</includedir>

  <!-- This is included last so local configuration can override what's
       in this standard file -->
  <include ignore_missing="yes">system-local.conf</include>
  <include ignore_missing="yes">system-kde4.conf</include>

  <include if_selinux_enabled="yes" selinux_root_relative="yes">contexts/dbus_contexts</include>

</busconfig>

Code: Select all

$ cat system-kde4.conf
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-Bus Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>

  <includedir>/usr/local/kde4/etc/dbus-1/system.d</includedir>
  <servicedir>/usr/local/kde4/share/dbus-1/system-services</servicedir>

</busconfig>

the paths are correct, but services doesn't work. when i attempt to modify time in the systemsettings, i receive error:

Code: Select all

Unable to authenticate/execute the action: 7, DBus Backend error: could not contact the helper. Connection error: Could not get owner of name 'org.kde.kcontrol.kcmclock': no such name. Message error: Failed to setup environment correctly

but when i added the strings directly into /usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.conf:

Code: Select all

  <includedir>/usr/local/kde4/etc/dbus-1/system.d</includedir>
  <servicedir>/usr/local/kde4/share/dbus-1/system-services</servicedir>

clock configuration and kdm settings are saving without errors.

looks like string <include ignore_missing="yes">system-kde4.conf</include> doesn't work somewhy. the file system-kde4.conf has permissions 444

I don't know why you have problems, but it seems that there are some issues with current version of dbus. If you look here you will see what I am talking about: http://dot.kde.org/2010/08/31/kde-releases-451. Read comments.

Hopefully we won't have to wait too long until this is fixed somehow. If not, no tooltips in Dolphin...

Is there a specific reason why FreeBSD's ports system installs KDE's D-Bus files into a different location?

to not let it mix together and override each other? anyway, it's question to maintainers i guess..
still don't know why <include ignore_missing="yes">system-kde4.conf</include> doesn't work. probably its indeed dbus problem

The problem in this case is that KDE is installed to a seperate location than D-Bus. At a minimum, the D-Bus files must be installed where D-Bus is installed for it to work flawlessly. A message would have been output to this effect when kdelibs was being configured for building.

This is a fault with your distributors packages, please contact them.

system-kde4.conf likely needs to be located in /usr/local/etc/dbus-1/ to function, rather than the /usr/local/kde4/ equivalent.
