[CentOS] Problem with D-BUS Centos 6.4
Hello, I hope anyone at the list could help me... I like to open a notify by using "/usr/bin/notify-send" in my .procmailrc. Should show a notify if a new mail arrive. My script which creates that notify-send is working and if I test it everything works fine. So I inserted it into my .procmailrc, i looks like that: | perl /opt/sbin/mailnotify.pl I like to grep my mail into my script which creates the notify-send... If procmail triggers that script this messages comes up into the logfile of procmail: --- process 6975: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": Permission denied See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace --- OK..I searched in the internet about that problem and found out that: http://www.torkwrench.com/2011/12/16/d-bus-library-appears-to-be-incorrectly-set-up-failed-to-read-machine-uuid-failed-to-open-varlibdbusmachine-id/ But if i do that and insert: "dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id" this is not the solution of my problem...the same happens again. so my question: could anyone tell my what I do wrong? -- thanks + bye ajh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
