DBusException: The name org.guake_terminal.Guake was not provided by any .service files

I compiled guake on my CentOS 5.4 x86_64, but when I start it I receive this error which I'm not able to troubleshoot:

$ guake Introspect error: The name org.guake_terminal.Guake was not provided by any .service files Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi,

Thanks for the report and sorry for the delay.

In your email you mention that it happens the first.

Is it only the first time ?

Is it 100% reproducible ?

Which version of dbus do you use ? (and which version of guake ?)

Have you tried (by any chance) to recompile the src.rpm from Fedora ? (I can provide it if you like to try).

Hi, I think the issue is reproducible. I compiled guake 0.4.1 sources on a fresh installation of CentOS 5.4 x86_64. Udev version is 095, Linux 2.6.18. This error appears every time I launch guake. The application doesn't start. I tried to rpmbuild Fedora's specfile, but I found the same issue.

I'm triyng to compile guake because I didn't find an el5 rpm.

If you need more information I'm here. Thanks.

I can confirm the bug, I have exactly the same issue. (Guake 0.41 and CentOS 5.4)

Just tried compiling v0.4.1 today myself on CentOS 5.5 and I get the exact same error, same with rebuilding the rpm from fedora. Is there a work around for this ? Would like to get guake working on my machines, thanks.

Humm, I guess I know what is happening. Our building system installs dbus service file in a specific directory:

(...)
servicedir = $(datadir)/dbus-1/services
(...)

Is this directory the right one for CentOS?

[lostson]

a whereis dbus-1 produces this

whereis dbus-1

dbus-1: /etc/dbus-1 /usr/lib/dbus-1.0 /usr/include/dbus-1.0 /usr/share/dbus-1

if this helps at all

[tombstone]

is there any fix, or work around for this problem ?

Hello there,

I think I got what's happening... sorry for the lack of attention :(

Here goes the problem. We're using the wrong dbus unique name in both dbus interface and services file. I'm changing the priority of this bug and expect to work on it soon.

Here is a quick workaround:

Open the file `src/dbusiface.py' and change the following vars

DBUS_PATH = '/org/guake_terminal/guake/RemoteControl' DBUS_NAME = 'org.guake_terminal.Guake'

DBUS_PATH = '/org/gnome/guake/RemoteControl' DBUS_NAME = 'org.gnome.Guake'

Thank you!

I'm working on it and there's a patch on the way!

Just sent a fix for this problem to our master branch
