I'm using KDEmo4.0.99
dcopserver is launched, but the apps don't want to connect to it.

Hmm, works for me.
Which distro are you using?

Hi FreakGuard,

Could you post the output of these commands:

Source code

 
1

3

$ ps aux | grep -i dcop
$ dcop --list-sessions --all-users
$ env | sort


Especially in the output of the last command: please, filter out all irrelevant lines.

Also, the file ${HOME}/.xsession-errors may hold some additional info.

Rob


Edit:
One more command, just to be sure

Source code

 
1

$ find ${HOME} -name "*DCOP*" -exec ls -l {} \;

Don't forget to include the backslash-semicolon.

I don't have any experience with ArchLinux nor KDEmod4, but one thing draws my attention here:

Quoted from "FreakGuard"

/opt/kde/bin/dcopserver
KDEDIR=/opt/kdemod
KDEDIRS=/opt/kdemod:/opt/kdemod


Could it be a version problem?

I'm just thinking out loud here, and I'll see if I can find some more, but this may be relevant...

Right, KDE4 doesn't use dcop anymore, it uses dbus

Thank you, Ingo.

But this probably means FreakGuard is using kdeinit from KDE3 as well, because dcopserver is started, and why would kdeinit4 start dcopserver if dcopserver is not used by KDE4.
And if I understand correctly, the apps are also trying to connect to DCOP, so the apps may not be KDE4 as well...

FreakGuard, to me it looks like your KDE4 install is incomplete.
Ingo, what do you think?

I think more of some missing knowlegde from my side... I'll check dbus then.
Btw: someone could tell me a small doc of dbus? Don't find anything.

Right. On my system i have kdeinit running alongside kdeinit4.
There are no problems with that.

Maybe even an incomplete KDE3 installation, as KDE4 seems to run. It's somehow strange that, as OhReally stated,

Quoted

/opt/kde/bin/dcopserver
KDEDIR=/opt/kdemod
KDEDIRS=/opt/kdemod:/opt/kdemod


Don't also know anything about this kdemod thing. It must have something messed up.
FreakGuard, what do you get, when you start kdeinit manually? the kde3 version.
