DBus messaging bus system

[Béèm]

As far as I understand applications can use this messaging bus system to communicate.
I have seen there is a dbuslib package for Puppy, but I have the impression there is more. Something like a daemon.

Will this be implemented in Puppy or has someone already support for this.

I try to run a package which needs DBus and the dbuslib package isn't enough.

Package to implement:

Search for posts from me with "dbus" or "bluetooth", there's a pet in here somewhere with directions for starting it.

Thank ypu, John Doe.
Found the package and installed it.
After some searching to find how to generate the machine-id in the correct place, I ran again Pidgin and the first error is corrected.
The second one is still there.

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# pidgin

(pidgin:22428): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.
pidgin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0: undefined symbol: g_type_register_static_simple

Is this g_type_register_static_simple something from dbus also?
If not where could it come from and how could I correct?
P.S. libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 is in the correct place.

Code: Select all

pidgin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0: undefined symbol: g_type_register_static_simple

I'm pretty sure what that means is that when libgstreamer is getting called, the code is calling (in it) method g_type_register_static_simple (which appears to not be there).

Perhaps libgstreamer was compiled without a dependancy (dbus perhaps).

My Mini-Gnome includes DBus:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 82&t=12453

To run the DBus-daemon with X, you can try such a line in .xinitrc, before
exec $CURRENTWM

Code: Select all

eval `/usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session --auto-syntax`

The symbol-lookup error means, that your libgstreamerwas compiled with another version of glib.
That version seems to have different functions than the one your gstreamer needs.

Thank you Mark,
But dbus seems to run, I can generate the needed machine-id and the error message about dbus I had before is gone.
When I install the package you reference, won't I be in Gnome then?

About libgstreamer, as far as I know it is the one included in Puppy 2.16.1
Pidgin is a debian package I found which I could undeb, but as I understand incompatible with the existing libgstreamer.

Searching libgstreamer via Google I get lost in the different possibilities and their dependencies. Don't know which one to choose.

It might ne better to try to compile Pidgin from source, no?

About libgstreamer, as far as I know it is the one included in Puppy 2.16.1

libgstreamer is part of the Gstreamer (or GST), which is a multimedia framework, something like Xine.
It definitely doesn't come with Puppy...
