 |
|
I've just done a complete update of E17 from CVS today and I was in the process of setting up engage (also from CVS) on my AMD64 box with 64-bit Gentoo.
When trying to load engage using enlightenment_remote with the following command:
enlightenment_remote -module-load usr/lib/engage/module/module.so
It fails with the following error:
| Code: |
enlightenment_remote -module-load /usr/lib/engage/module/module.so
WARNING: not a utf8 locale!
ERROR: Enlightenment_remote cannot set up the IPC socket.
Maybe try the '-display :0' option?
|
Now adding the -display option does nothing so, i ran the same command through strace and found:
| Code: |
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3
fcntl(3, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 0
fcntl(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [7885636023621779456], 4) = 0
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/home/ebrostig/.ecore/enlightenment-(:0.0)/0"}, 46) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
close(3) = 0
write(1, "ERROR: Enlightenment_remote cann"..., 58) = 58
write(1, "Maybe try the \'-display :0\' opti"..., 36) = 36
munmap(0x2aaaab5d6000, 4096) = 0
exit_group(-1) = ?
|
It complains about a missing directory. Shouldn't it create this if needed?
So, I go ahead and create the directory structure it asks for:
| Code: |
ebrostig@zappa ~/tmp $ mkdir -p "/home/ebrostig/.ecore/enlightenment-(:0.0)/0"
ebrostig@zappa ~/tmp $ strace -ff -o eng1 enlightenment_remote -module-load /usr/lib/engage/module/module.so
WARNING: not a utf8 locale!
ERROR: Enlightenment_remote cannot set up the IPC socket.
Maybe try the '-display :0' option?
|
Looking at the strace output shows:
| Code: |
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3
fcntl(3, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 0
fcntl(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [7885636023621779456], 4) = 0
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/home/ebrostig/.ecore/enlightenment-(:0.0)/0"}, 46) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
close(3) = 0
write(1, "ERROR: Enlightenment_remote cann"..., 58) = 58
write(1, "Maybe try the \'-display :0\' opti"..., 36) = 36
munmap(0x2aaaab5d6000, 4096) = 0
exit_group(-1) = ?
|
Ok, I give up 
Anyone have some solution to this issue?

I've also tried your solution, but I think this mast be not a directory... but a socket! 
I can't unerstand why it complains, still... |

some news... I've assumed that fore some strange reasons we ave only a folder ~/.ecore/_systems containing two sockets (named 0 and 1) (that's my case).
So, i've symlinked that to enlightenment-(:0.0), and the error now is ERRCONNREFUSED (Connection Refused...)
BTW, a netstat -a gives me no listening sockets in those paths!....!
What's there? |

Are you running this as a root or as a user? I experienced the same problem as a root and so I tried it as a user and all went well.

I actually though that the following was a clue in that matter:
| Code: |
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/home/ebrostig/.ecore/enlightenment-(:0.0)/0"}, 46)
|
It says "/home/ebrostig' and not "/root"

I'm taking the high road on this one bud, but your pushing it.
Anyway, ok THAT isn't your problem, my mistake, but looking back on an old backup I noticed that I didn't have that directory or socket in .ecore. I got it working fine by reemerging of all efls, and e17 libs (ecore included). The directory now exists with a 0: socket.
