 |
|
Whenever I try to run 'finch' (pidgin's IM client for terminals) I get the following error:
| Code: |
[f|~]$ finch
process 9609: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory
See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.
D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Aborted
|
I googled and found a similar problem on the Ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=586008
However, their fix was to run the command:
| Code: |
dbus-uuidgen --enabled
|
While I have dbus--uidgen, I looked at its man page and there is no option '--enabled' and so this command fails.
Any ideas? |

Quick fix (not really a solve, though):
| Code: |
# emerge -C pidgin
# echo "net-im/pidgin -dbus" >> /etc/portage/package.use
# emerge pidgin
|
That is, simply compile pidgin without dbus support. |

had the same problem  . First start dbus service:
| Code: |
emerge --ask dbus
# rc-update add dbus default
Add <user> to the plugdev group
# gpasswd -a <user> plugdev
|
and
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/dbus start
|
now pidgin works for me |
