The problem is gone after another sync and world-update, which also |
| 15 |
affected kdelibs (due to png update) and udev 200->201. So, it wasn't |
| 16 |
possible to identify the problem's source. Just hoping it will not |
| 17 |
appear again to anyone. |

Anyway, thanks for your opinion. |

Regarding ktimezoned: |
| 22 |
there is no problem with it, and I'm still getting the same messages |
| 23 |
even now that everything is in order. |
| 24 |
if you look at the log I supplied, you see the first message is |
| 25 |
klauncher(21958) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you |
| 26 |
have started the DBUS server. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The message regarding ktimezoned also states: |
| 29 |
ktimezoned initialize() D-Bus call failed: "Not connected to D-Bus server" |
| 30 |
But dbus is up and running: |
| 31 |
# rc-service dbus status |
| 32 |
* status: started |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I don't know why this happens, maybe there's a dependency issue in |
| 35 |
OpenRC which allows xdm service to start before dbus, but as long as it |
| 36 |
doesn't hamper my system, I'd close my eyes on it. [OT] In general, I |
| 37 |
don't see any point in KDE's specific services such as ktimezoned, |
| 38 |
because they seem to me nothing but memory-eaters possibly doing the job |
| 39 |
already done by kernel and system tools (and more probably, doing no job |
| 40 |
at all). |
