Failed to open connection to system message bus

Stage: build

Failed to open connection to system message bus: Failed to connect to socket ~/prefix/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

Solution 1:

• In your $CVSROOT/gnome2/dbus-glib/tools directory, run the following command:

# /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --print-reply=literal --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect > dbus-bus-introspect.xml.tmp && mv dbus-bus-introspect.xml.tmp dbus-bus-introspect.xml

• Make sure you use the full path to your installed system dbus-send binary (i.e. /usr/bin/dbus-send) rather than the one that jhbuild compiled for you.

• . If the problem still happens, maybe the problem is the system_bus_socket location. If it doesn't exist, try this:

# ln -s /usr/var/run/dbus/* ~/prefix/var/run/dbus

Solution 2:

(From http://www.j5live.com/?p=237 :)

• Just download the dbus-bus-introspect.xml file, and put it in your $CVSROOT/gnome2/dbus-glib/tools directory.
