Hi, I typed something wrong when setting the DBUS_TEST_HOMEDIR var this time. Now it's ok <img goomoji="gtalk.328" style="margin: 0pt 0.2ex; vertical-align: middle;" src="cid:gtalk.328@goomoji.gmail"> It's a little bit incredible because I tried a lot ! By the way the Thor's patch (which is not big !) applies very well the freedesktop git head of d-bus. It also resolves the cmake build problem I had. Thx a lot Sincerely Julien <div class="gmail_quote"> 2009/11/23 Ralf Habacker <<a href="mailto:ralf.habacker@freenet.de">ralf.habacker@freenet.de</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Julien Isorce schrieb:<div class="im"> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi, First, thx a lot for helping me. I have tried the binaries you pointed me. Unfortunatelly I got the same result: When I run dbus-daemon in a service (user name is SYSTEM so) , then dbus-monitor --system failed (run as default user: Administrator) It works well if I run the dbus-daemon as Administrator so it seems that even using system bus, it seems that the user name is used to check something ... </blockquote></div> this can be inspected by having the server log too. It may be that under the SYSTEM account the directory for the dbus keyring is invalid. Do you have set DBUS_TEST_HOMEDIR for the server *and* the client ?
