Greetings, I've been trying to get LightDM working on FreeBSD, as there is no package for it yet. I've managed to get it compiled from source, but it fails to start. It displays the message, "Failed to get D-Bus connection". D-Bus is running, and LightDM starts the X server fine. Is there anything I need to do to get it to talk to dbus? Right now I have LightDM installed in my home folder; might this have something to do with this problem? I understand this isn't a lot of information to work with; if more information is needed I will be happy to provide it. Thanks, Kevin Zheng -------------- next part -------------- ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Logging to /home/kevinz/.cache/lightdm/log/lightdm.log ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Starting Light Display Manager 1.4.0, UID=1001 PID=33478 ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Loaded configuration from /home/kevinz/opt/lightdm/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Using D-Bus name org.freedesktop.DisplayManager ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Running in user mode ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Registered seat module xlocal ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Registered seat module xremote ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Adding default seat ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Starting seat ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Starting new display for greeter ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Starting local X display ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Could not run plymouth --ping: Failed to execute child process "plymouth" (No such file or directory) ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Logging to /home/kevinz/.cache/lightdm/log/x-0.log ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Writing X server authority to /home/kevinz/.cache/lightdm/run/root/:2 ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Launching X Server ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Launching process 33481: /home/kevinz/opt/lightdm/bin/X :2 -auth /home/kevinz/.cache/lightdm/run/root/:0 -nolisten tcp ** (lightdm:33478): DEBUG: Waiting for ready signal from X server :0 Failed to get D-Bus connection
Hi Kevin, You need to run as root to register a D-Bus system service, that is the error that is being reported. How did you run it? It should check for root on startup.
