Songbird won't start on Arch Linux, D-Bus raises an error.
As said in the title songbird doesn't start. When I try to start it from the terminal D-Bus raises the following Error:
process 7805: arguments to dbus_connection_send_with_reply_and_block() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 3286.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Aborted
I can't figure out why this is happening and I can't find much Information about this behavior in general so should I build D-Bus by myself with rdynamic support?

Inappropriate?What version of dbus do you have on your system? We had some issues with users having older versions of dbus, updating the dbus on their system (which sometimes required advance the version of their os) generally fixed the problem. On my Fedora machine (FC8) I have the following:
dbus-python-0.82.3-1.fc7
dbus-1.1.2-9.fc8
dbus-glib-0.73-8.fc8
dbus-glib-devel-0.73-8.fc8
dbus-devel-1.1.2-9.fc8
dbus-x11-1.1.2-9.fc8
dbus-glib-0.73-8.fc8
dbus-libs-1.1.2-9.fc8
dbus-libs-1.1.2-9.fc8
dbus-devel-1.1.2-9.fc8
I imagine you should be able to find the versions of your dbus libraries using AUR, but I'm not familiar enough with Arch to explain how. -
Inappropriate?I'm using:
dbus 1.2.1-1
dbus-python 0.82.4-1 [installed]
dbus-glib 0.76-1 [installed]
ndesk-dbus-glib 0.4.1-1 [installed]
dbus-qt3 0.62-3 [installed]
ndesk-dbus 0.6.0-1 [installed]
lib32-dbus 1.2.1-1 [installed]
I searched in the aur for dbus(with yaourt) but I only find implementations of dbus for ruby, java and c++ and a few other things like kdbus. There isn't a newer version of dbus anyway, as i found out at
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Softw...
So I don't think that this is the problem. -
Inappropriate?I have the same problem. Except I have dbus-1.2.3-1 installed. Songbird starts if you start it in safe mode (./songbird -safe-mode)
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?I've just tested it with the last version from the AUR and Songbird works for me so I can fly through the world of the music again.
I’m happy
