You configured PackageKit with ./configure --enable-emerge prefix=/usr right? Do you have locate installed? Is there a file named org.freedesktop.PackageKit.conf installed on your system? (locate org.freedesktop.PackageKit.conf in Terminal) I don't know much about Nova Linux (it's the Cuba-Linux, right?), but on Debian "locate" is installed by default. Maybe the file was installed into /usr/local by accident? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">I think it's the most probable, please look in ./configure --help, there should be a --dbus-service-dir switch or something similar </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Cheers Matthias _______________________________________________ PackageKit mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:PackageKit@lists.freedesktop.org">PackageKit@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/packagekit">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/packagekit</a> </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> _______________________________________________ PackageKit mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:PackageKit@lists.freedesktop.org">PackageKit@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/packagekit">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/packagekit</a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
