Subject: Message when starting emacs as root
Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2011 08:15:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r58w5dvp.fsf@Compaq.site> (raw)
When I start Emacs as root –from the command line–, I get the
following message:
(emacs:3279): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit
status of a child process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set
to SIG_IGN and ECHILD was received by waitpid(), so exit status
can't be returned. This is a bug in the program calling
g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or don't set
the SIGCHLD action.
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most
common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus
daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information.
(Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Abnormal
program termination spawning command line `dbus-launch
--autolaunch=609bb989b7d80a921f5561274aef47bc --binary-syntax
--close-stderr': )
As a non root user I do not get it. It happens since I updated to
openSUSE 10.4, which also update Emacs. I now use:
GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i586-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.22.1) of 2011-02-22 on build27
