Hi everybody,

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.6 at the moment however I tried it also with the latest 10.5 version I had the same issues.
I've installed KDE, Kdegames 4 to be more specific via MacPorts. Unfortunately every time I'm trying to launch some application it just starting, jumping few seconds in the Dock and than nothing happens.
System marks this application as "not responding" and I can only kill it.

I've been searching a lot for some solution but unfortunately nothing seems to help.
I've changed the owner of the "Preferences" folder.
When I'm executing:

Code: Select all

launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

it just says:

Code: Select all

nothing found to load

When I'm starting an application directly from command line:

Code: Select all

/opt/local/var/macports/software/kdegames4/4.5.5_0/Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kpat.app/Contents/MacOS/kpat


I'm getting this:

Code: Select all

KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work


and then the behavior is the same as when I'm starting it via the Applications menu. I read a bit and this error, is either a warning, should not really causing this problem.


The dbus daemon seems to be active:

Code: Select all

ps auxwww | grep dbus
messagebus  3300   0,0  0,0  2435448    708   ??  Ss    6:18pm   0:00.01 /opt/local/bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork

Any idea what can I do wrong?

Best regards,
Radek

Is a dbus-daemon running as part of the session? (ie. with --session as part of it's arguments) At least on Linux, a session D-Bus instance is needed.

Can you run "qdbus"?

Thanks for your reply first

When I'm trying to qdbus it returns:

Code: Select all

Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!
Could not connect to D-Bus server: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoMemory: Not enough memory


I'm not sure but I thought that the"launchctl load ..." should start the session D-Bus instance. Or am I wrong?

It seems to be intended to do that. I would suggest checking with the MacPorts or KDE Mac package maintainers however.
