Minor annoyance in dbus

[Saiha5]

I am very happy with gnome so far however one minor annoyance ...

After logging in, The gnome splash screen just gets stuck for a minute or so and does not show any desktop items. clicks on other desktop panels etc are responsive but nothing on the desktop itself works ...that's only for about a minute.

I checked logs in /var/log/messages. It says thus ...

Jan 24 20:00:29 rivendell gnome-keyring-daemon[801]: Scheduling hal init retry
Jan 24 20:00:59 rivendell gnome-keyring-daemon[801]: error connecting to D-BUS s
ystem bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such
file or directory

This log keeps repeating over and over. Any idea what is causing this ? ...how to prevent this ?

[SirDice]

Looks like dbus isn't running..
Did you add dbus_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf?

[Saiha5]

ok the log regarding socket is gone ... but now something else.

And it still keeps getting stuck for some time with the HAL init log repeating.
so ? .... any idea what is gnome keyring daemon ?

[SirDice]

And it still keeps getting stuck for some time with the HAL init log repeating.
I seem to get that too.. Everything works though..

Just guessing...
Is it the same after adding the following lines (if not present) in /etc/rc.conf?avahi_daemon_enable="YES"
avahi_dnsconfd_enable="YES"

What is the output of locate keyring | grep $HOME

[Saiha5]

OK...now I get a warning in Avahi daemon init as such :
Jan 26 20:35:07 rivendell avahi-daemon[664]: WARNING: No NSS support for mDNS detected, consider installing nss-mdns!

remaining errors remain same.

out put of $ locate keyring | grep $HOME is
locate: database too small: /var/db/locate.database

[ale]

OK...now I get a warning in Avahi daemon init as such :I think that you should install dns/nss_mdns to get rid of the message.
But as it seems avahi is not helping you can skip it.

out put of $ locate keyring | grep $HOME is
locate: database too small: /var/db/locate.databaseThis is because the locate database has not been built.
Run /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate and try again or run find ~ -name \*keyring\*

[Saiha5]

OK ...now locate shows some output but the errors remain same.
Jan 26 22:36:26 rivendell gnome-keyring-daemon[770]: Couldn't unlock login keyring with provided password
Jan 26 22:36:26 rivendell gnome-keyring-daemon[770]: Failed to unlock login on startup

These messages ...does it mean the user with which I am logging in does not have correct rights ?

[ale]

OK ...now locate shows some outputOoh! :)
And what is the output (as requested above) ?

[SirDice]

I seem to get that too.. Everything works though..

Ah.. I rechecked my system.. Hald wasn't running :r
Weird, hald has been in my /etc/rc.conf for at least a couple of years..

Anyway.. That message (every 30 sec):

Jan 26 19:06:43 williscorto gnome-keyring-daemon[38112]: failed to initialize a HAL context: (null)
Jan 26 19:06:43 williscorto gnome-keyring-daemon[38112]: Scheduling hal init retry


It disappeared after I started hald manually.

IIRC gnome-keyring needs /proc. Add this to /etc/fstab:

proc /proc procfs rw 0 0

[Saiha5]

Ok ...hald log is gone :)...added hald to rc.conf

gnome-keyring block stays. :)

output of locate :

these are icons from the gnome theme I installed.

[Saiha5]

the find command shows some more data however as such ...

/home/paddy/.gnome2/keyrings
/home/paddy/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring

[ale]

Ok ...hald log is gone :)...added hald to rc.confSo you had hald stopped too?

[SirDice]

gnome-keyring block stays. :)
Did you add /proc to fstab?

[Saiha5]

yes.
