Problem running brasero in out-of-box linuxbbbq mate 64b

[weijiangbei]

It's a mate 64bit on a Intel i3.

It's an out-of-the-box new installation. I install brasero mannually. When I try to burn an image with superuser priviledge, it prompted the following information, and brasero always complains there's no DVD RW disk in the drive though there is one.

** (brasero:3153): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files

In addition, ibus input method cannot add any input method in its built-in config window. That means, ibus is running but it's useless since it cannot add any input method and it cannot save any configuration I've on its config dialog window, complaining :

GLib-WARNING **: GChildWatchSource: Exit status of a child process was requested but ECHILD was received by waitpid(). Most likely the process is ignoring SIGCHLD, or some other thread is invoking waitpid() with a nonpositive first argument; either behavior can break applications that use g_child_watch_add()/g_spawn_sync() either directly or indirectly.

I assume that these errors are related to DBUS. So I guess there might be problem in the DBUS build with Linuxbbq.

Is there anyone encountering same problems? I guess there should be, since mine is a default out-of-the-box Linuxbbq mate edition.

Anybody knows a workaround or fix?

Nihao,

the dbus.a11y error seems to be a bug in GNOME <3.8, I have seen it popping up independently of the application. Try installing:

Code: Select all

at-spi2-core

To be honest, I haven't used the 64bit MATE for quite a while, as we slowly abandon 64bit in favour of more 32bit releases. I hope and guess the problem will be solved by adding the package and restarting the desktop.

Additionally, you can try to edit the .xinitrc file to look like:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources &

xbindkeys # -f ~/.xbindkeysrc &

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch mate-session

Thanks for reporting.

I have a question regarding Brasero, why as root? I mean usually you burn discs as user.

[machinebacon]

^ Good catch! Maybe his /dev/cdrom was not detected as normal user? Might have to do with the dbus monstrosity then.

Sorry for reporting late.

Following your advice, I managed to eliminate the errors mentioned before. However, another problem emerged and brasero sitll complained "no disk" even I inserted one:


** (brasero:3032): WARNING **: Could not establish a connection to Tracker: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Tracker1 was not provided by any .service files

Checking the dependencies of Brasero, we find:

Code: Select all

depends brasero 
[....]
  Suggests: tracker

Try to resolve with

Code: Select all

ins tracker

and log out and back.
