	X11-free d-bus? by Qiming He :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy. I am trying to use d-bus (client) inside a CGI perl environment where X11 DISPLAY is not set. From Apache error log, I got =========== process 5496: arguments to dbus_connection_ref() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 2497. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: PuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attemptedAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed. It seems to me even in the console environment, DISPLAY has to be set for d-bus to work. Is it mandatory? Any work around? Thanks in advance _______________________________________________ freedesktop mailing list freedesktop@... http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/freedesktop

I hope it's not, it would make writing a BeOS/Haiku wrapper painful :^) François. _______________________________________________ freedesktop mailing list freedesktop@... http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/freedesktop

This means NULL was passed to dbus_connection_ref(), perhaps because dbus_connection_open() or dbus_bus_get() failed and someone isn't checking the return value. This is a bug that the app doesn't recover more gracefully. > org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: dbus-launch failed to > autolaunch D-Bus session: PuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol > attemptedAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed. > It seems to me even in the console environment, DISPLAY has to be set for > d-bus to work. Is it mandatory? Any work around? > X is only used in some fallback code to try to find dbus-daemon if dbus-daemon isn't found via the normal mechanisms. Normally X would never be an issue. For a session bus, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS should be set, for example. The problem is that you have no dbus running, or no way (such as the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS env variable) for the app to find the dbus that's running. X and DISPLAY are not the root cause of your problem, and should not be necessary.
