Re: How Do I Setup Dbus & Hal on Fedora?

[Raul Acevedo <raul cantara com>]

I'm having problems running the daemon... if as root I type:

$GARNOME/bin/dbus-daemon-1 --system

It forks right away, but then the process apparently dies because a ps
ax | grep -i bus doesn't show anything.  I don't see any errors logged
anywhere.  I can't put it in gdb because the process always forks right
away.  Thoughts?
