[solved]DBus not starting

[azra]

I have installed Pardus 2008, I wish I had waited until all is working ok. 
No kooldock, no taskbar2, not a lot of things work.... Not very happy for installing it so quickly. I could have done with keeping 2007.
Anyway, my biggest problem is the fact that I have correctly kept my user account, but Pisi is not starting on login. Apparently, DBus is not connecting.
When I installed, I created a new account also with privileges and I can reach Pisi this way, but not through my usual account.
What would be the solutions?

It looks like the bug I reported in RC2, does it ?

i got it too, the dbus problem but i cant get internet-working by console.... ;(

[azra]

the way I got around this was to reinstall and create a fresh new user, but not the best...

[miltonjohn2]

thank you i will try that way too   :'(

[azra]

make sure you give the new user admin rights

There is a workaround :

• Open a terminal (Alt-F2 konsole)
• type

Code:

cp /etc/skel/.bashrc .

• Type

Code:

y

• Press the Enter key
• Reboot your computer

I got the same error. But I solved it in a different way. When I install 2008 on my machine keeping home directory intact couses Dbus problem. Then I decided to create a fresh home directory and selected to format it during installation. That has solved my problem. So the bug is related not to good handling of home directory and the config files within it. you better hormat home directory also.

I had exactly the same and installed 2008 on 2nd occasion also by choosing to format the (assigned as) home-partition as well, just like posted in the previous messages above.

[PhiX]

Of course, formatting /home doesn't keep your old .bashrc file, but you don't need to format your /home partition at all, you just have to change your .basrc file as I indicated.

Thank Phix 
I put it in http://en.pardus-wiki.org/Pardus:Upgrading/2007-2008
And "Onur" added "rm -rf .dbus-session"
I do not know if that is essential.

[Eren.Turkay]

Yes it's necessary. On 2008, the default bashrc is different from that of 2007, so it should be deleted so that dbus can be started correctly.

Thanks for the explanation.
