Summary: KDE 4.3 cannot be started within a virtual X Window
System (Xvnc)
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
ReportedBy: Axel.Keller at mucl.de
Version: (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS: Linux
Installed from: openSUSE RPMs
Server
System: LINUX openSUSE 11.2
Desktop: KDE 4.3
Problem: KDE cannot be started with startkde from a virtual X Window
Session.
Case a: vncserver is started as standard user,
DISPLAY environment variable value other than :0.0
causes an error.
Case b: vncserver is started as root,
dbus is not available.
Case a
------
Step1: Starting vncserver as user axel:
New 'X' desktop is Haydn:5
Step2: Starting vncviewer (Web): http:/haydn:5805
For this the script /home/axel/.vnc/xstartup is used
that opens an xterm
Step3: Starting KDE with script startkde
the openSUSE start screen can be seen shortly,
but then the following error messages appear:
axel~> startkde
startkde: Starting up...
kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_klauncher.so
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
kdeinit4_wrapper: Warning: connect(/home/axel/.kde4/socket-Haydn/kdeiniled: :
Connection refused
Could not register with D-BUS. Aborting.
startkde: Shutting down...
kdeinit4_wrapper: Warning: connect(/home/axel/.kde4/socket-Haydn/kdeiniled: :
Connection refused
Error: Can not contact kdeinit4!
startkde: Running shutdown scripts...
startkde: Done.
axel~>
Analysis: In script startkde the the program
/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/start_kdeinit_wrapper
+kcminit_startup
is called. This routine works with value
$DISPLAY=:0.0 but not with value $DISPLAY=:5.0
that has to be used here.
Case b
------
Step4: Starting vncserver as user root: New 'X' desktop is
Haydn:5
Step5: Starting vncviewer (Web): http:/haydn:5805
For this the script /root/.vnc/xstartup is used
that opens an xterm
Step6: Starting KDE with script startkde
the openSUSE start screen can be seen shortly,
but then the following d-bus error message appears:
# startkde
startkde: Starting up...
startkde: Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus?
# qdbus
Could not connect to D-Bus server: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not
receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a
reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout
expired, or the network connection was broken.
