hi charlie on page 1 where you downloaded dbus I did make a note in the box. This is what it said. You must of overlooked it. It happenscharlie6 wrote:Hi ttuuxxx !
thanks for those pets !
I have installed
gimp-2.6.8-i386.pet
gimp-2.6.8-local-doc.pet
and as I got a message telling a missing lib...glib.so.2 I installed successively
dbus-dbus-glib-0.82-i386.pet
dbus-glib-0.82-i386.pet
dbus-1.2.16-i386.pet
I am now with this error message:should I have to install other pets?Code: Select all
# gimp process 1169: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace Aborted #
many thanks for any advice?
cheers, charlie

usually I start dbus by adding this line
dbus-uuidgen --ensure &
to /root/.xinitrc near the bottom just above line 157 #exec $CURRENTWM
then just restart Xserver and it should be up and running
