Hello,

I'm running debian lenny system. I installed kde-bluetooth in hope of getting easy-to-configure bluetooth filesharing with my mobile phone (nokia 6630). However when I tried to start kbluetooth it stated that it could not start because it didn't managed to connect to dbus.

Well, I figured out that it actually thinks that dbus socket is located at '/usr/local/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket'

In order to get the program to start I created symlink: '/usr/local/var/run -> /var/run'
Well, it did manage to get kbluetooth to start but when I tried to look for bluetooth devices I got numerous of errors stating that dbus location was wrong.

Quoted

1.
Launched ok, pid = 16925
2.
Launched ok, pid = 16927
3.
process 16928: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_path (path)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1074.

This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
5.
D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

So what I want to do is the configure kbluetooth to know that dbus socket is located in '/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket'. How do I do that ?

ps.
I remember compiling kdelibs to avoid arts depency so I reinstalled it with 'apt-get --reinstall install kdelibs'. Even so problem kept occuring.

kbluetoothrc doesn't seem to contain anything useful. Only some gui settings.

edit:
I search through files in ~/.kde/share/ and /etc/kde3 with grep but none of them seems to contain "/usr/local/var/run/"

edit:

it appears that also gnome-applet thinks it is at /usr/local/var/run ... there is something wrong now...

edit:
Solved!

I must have had bluez-utils compiled because after purging everything bluetooth related and dbus. I manage to get it to work! I also searched through system for bluetooth related stuff and it appeared that I had something installed in totally wrong place indicating incorrect install.
