Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session

Post by ^rooker »

[PROBLEM]
I wanted to start "ffado-dbus-server" (for FFADO - a firewire audio card driver), but it stopped with this error message:
09488460938: (ffado-dbus-server.cpp)[ 312] main: Starting DBUS service...
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'DBus::Error'
what(): Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session
Aborted
[SOLUTION]
It couldn't find the command "dbus-launch". It comes in the package "dbus-x11" and is not installed by default on Ubuntu Hardy.

So, install it:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install dbus-x11
