dbus and hald

[mururoa]

Hi there,

On a new Freebsd 8.0 STABLE 32 bits system, full zfs, I just installed Xorg and Kde4.
All is good but at start dbus not starting 'the right way' so hald dont start at all and I have no keyboard or mouse in kdm.

Still I have dbus starting but not all processes.
The dbus-daemon --system is missing


So I enter a text console as root and issue :
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus start
and then
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald start
Then I go back to kdm and all is good !
in rc.conf I have :

dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"

No error I can see on logs outside a warning about kern.maxvnodes cant be set to 400000 (so it defaults to 100000).

Annoying.

Tanks DutchDaemon.
No reply ... It seems that is not that easy to stat so.

Try booting with verbose logging (boot menu option 3, "Boot FreeBSD with verbose logging") and see if that turns up anything about dbus not launching (completely).

Ok, I do that as soon as I finished configuring wlan card with ndis.

Done but nothing with dbus or hal in the dmesg.
Here is full file gziped and attached.
Please ask me if you want grep in it but file size prevent me to directly post in the message or as plain text attached file.

We'll need dmesg -a in this case.

Here it is :

Well, apart from the errors, I'm missing the obvious lines, like (this is from my own dmesg) Starting local daemons:
.
Updating motd:
.
Starting powerd.
Starting openntpd.
Starting smartd.
Starting openvpn.
Starting dbus.
Starting hald.
Configuring syscons:
keymap
blanktime


The ineteresting thing is, you're missing this line entirely:

Starting local daemons:

Is anything started from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ running after booting?

Hey that was it :)
Nothing started from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ since I missed the $ in the line :
local_startup="${local_startup} /usr/local/kde4/etc/rc.d"

So kdm started but nothing else.
Thanks a lot.
