Hi, I have compiled packagekit on my kubuntu 8.10 64bit with these commands: ./configure --enable-apt --prefix=/usr make make install The compilation was ok but the daemon crash when started; the log is in the following pastebin.ca link: http://pastebin.ca/1342832 Seems that it can't find org.freedesktop.PackageKit.conf in /etc/dbus-1/system.d; this file was installed in /usr/etc/dbus-1/system.d but creating a symbolic link not resolve the error. Thanks, Giuseppe
--prefix=/usr can't work like that. You need to set the directories for the sysconfdir and all that stuff. DBus is quite specific that it needs _all_ the .conf (two for apt backend) and service files installed in the right place.
Have recompiled without 'prefix' argument but the error is always the same: can't find org.freedesktop.PackageKit.conf that is installed in /usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.d/ Here the log: http://pastebin.ca/1342847 Regards
You have to install the conf files in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/
Some news: I have compiled packagekit with ./configure --enable-apt --sysconfdir=/etc Now if I start the daemon it runs but with strange behaviour; first the log: http://pastebin.ca/1342935 Here the output of pkcon: $ pkcon get-updates Errore: internal-error: Cannot launch daemon, file not found or permissions invalid and this regardless I'm root or not. Same error if I use kpackagekit. One more thing: an other error that compares in the output is 'unable to open database file': TI:16:55:00 TH:0x9a6930 FI:pk-post-trans.c FN:pk_post_trans_init,808 - trying to open database '/var/lib/PackageKit/desktop-files.db' TI:16:55:00 TH:0x9a6930 FI:pk-post-trans.c FN:pk_post_trans_init,811 - Can't open database: unable to open database file TI:16:55:00 TH:0x9a6930 FI:pk-transaction-db.c FN:pk_transaction_db_init,565 - trying to open database './transactions.db' TI:16:55:00 TH:0x9a6930 FI:pk-transaction.c FN:pk_transaction_set_sender,1200 - setting sender to :1.56 TI:16:55:00 TH:0x9a6930 FI:pk-security-polkit.c FN:pk_security_caller_new_from_sender,76 - failed to get caller org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError: Unable to lookup session information for process '6959' TI:16:55:00 TH:0x9a6930 FI:pk-transaction-list.c FN:pk_transaction_list_create,409 - adding transaction 0x9d5220, item 0x9bdca0
