Hello had cedega 6 working for a while but as don't play it everyday not sure when it stopped working, now get errors:

Code:

$ cedega
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega/Point2Play_gui.py", line 2751, in ?
    Point2Play_gui_ref = Point2Play_gui( Point2Play.Point2Play( config_file) )
  File "/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega/Point2Play_gui.py", line 525, in __init__
    system_detection.detect_optical_drives(self.Point2Play)
  File "/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega/system_detection.py", line 339, in detect_optical_drives
    dbusOpticalDrivesList = cdrom.getDbusOpticalDrivesList()
  File "/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega/cdrom.py", line 186, in getDbusOpticalDrivesList
    storage_udi_obj = bus.get_object("org.freedesktop.Hal", storage_udi)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 410, in get_object
    follow_name_owner_changes=follow_name_owner_changes)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 250, in __init__
    self._pending_introspect = self._Introspect()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 320, in _Introspect
    message = _dbus_bindings.MethodCallMessage(None, self.__dbus_object_path__, 'org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable', 'Introspect')
ValueError: Invalid object path '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_boot/': ends with '/' and is not just '/'



Any ideas?

cheers

Try re-emerging dbus and dbus-python via
Code:
emerge --oneshot dbus dbus-python

dbus requires hal so be sure you have hal built and hald running. hal is sys-aps/hal

To see if it is running:
Code:
/etc/init.d/hald status


To build:
Code:
emerge sys-aps/hal
rc-update add hald default

Yes hald has been installed for long time, still no joy with this problem?


Code:

# /etc/init.d/hald status
 * status:  started

Try restarting hald:

Code:
/etc/init.d/hald restart


Other then that you can try cleaning out cedega and installing fresh.

Like i said i have tried that, though don't think it is cedega as kde no longer automounts anything and k3b dies with:

Code:

k3b
michael@hamlet ~ $ process 21824: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_path (path)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1074.
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
KCrash: Application 'k3b' crashing...
KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly.

try this :

/etc/init.d/hald start
/etc/init.d/dbus start

and I would probably add these to runlevel default:

rc-update add hald default

rc-update add dbus default

you must gentoolkit installed for this -- these things were my problem, cedega works just fine now

well --- there is python-dbus too, which involves both dbus and python of coarse :D -- i would check the versions of the dependencies of cedega -- you may want to re-emerge all of the dependencies, there possibly be an error with pygtk too.

I would probably do emerge -C then reinstall other than update. hope this may help

errr -- maybe try emerge -av python-dbus? hope this helps
