VLC is not working

<< < (4/7) > >>

Jason W:
VLC and Transmission-gtk3 now updated to use dbus self contained in each, working nicely at first glance.

curaga:
Wouldn't that remove the point of dbus? If each app ran its own dbus session, then no app could contact others, which makes a messaging protocol kind of pointless.

[ my personal opinion is that dbus should die, and apps that require it only to support some Gnome config tool / notification popup should have an option to configure it out, avoiding the need to start dbus just for a check if dbus is running ]

Jason W:
Yeah, basically this is a way to get around dbus rather than to actually use it.

Jason W:
Ok, here is an idea.  I can check the status of system dbus.tcz, "/usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus status", and if running don't call on dbus-launch.  Otherwise use dbus-launch that is part of the self contained app.  That way the system wide dbus session is used if it exists.

I would not get into the internals of what you are trying to achieve, but sounds kinda like,

What I mean here is how would dbus-launch that is part of the self contained app get established/installed?
