Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gaim
D-Bus can't be used to start Gaim service, because the gaim.service file is malformed. * Ubuntu 6.10 * Gaim 1:2.0.0+beta6-0ubuntu4 See also upstream Debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=404293 Steps to reproduce: Run command: dbus-send --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.StartServiceByName string:'org.gaim.GaimService' uint32:0 Expected result: Gaim starts :) Actual result (with --print-reply): Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute program ${exec_prefix}/bin/gaim: No such file or directory This is because /usr/share/dbus-1/services/gaim.service contains the line: Exec=${exec_prefix}/bin/gaim All other service files have hardcoded paths. Simple solution, replace with: Exec=/usr/bin/gaim ** Affects: gaim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- D-Bus can't be used to start Gaim service https://launchpad.net/bugs/97185 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
