[OE-core] [PATCH] gconf: silence some spurious errors

Ross Burton ross.burton at intel.com
Fri Apr 19 11:22:57 UTC 2013


The postinstalls were producing errors like this:

  (gconftool-2.real:10095): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
  Using X11 for dbus-daemon autolaunch was disabled at compile time, set your DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS instead

These are harmless but distracting, so take a patch from upstream to silence
them.

+Subject: [PATCH] dbus: Don't spew to console when unable to connect to dbus
+ daemon
+
+Instead pass the error up for the caller to decide what to do.
+
+This prevent untrappable warning messages from showing up at the
+console if gconftool --makefile-install-rule is called.
