Subject: dbus: "(setenv ...)" not the same as "export ...=..."
Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2011 01:44:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wrbnz7le.fsf@micropit.couberia.bzh> (raw)
Hello,
Emacs is the only program, that requires the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
environment variable, so instead of setting it in the global environment,
I prefer to set it in my .emacs file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(when window-system
(unless (getenv "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS")
(setenv "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" "autolaunch:"))
(require 'notifications))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But it does not work: D-Bus error: "No connection to bus", :session
The workaround is to start emacs like this:
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=autolaunch: emacs
Could anybody explain, why emacs needs the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS (or
why other programs don't need it), and why setting it with (setenv ...)
does not work?
TIA for any hints!
P.S.: I don't know, where the dbus is started on my system, the parent
PID is 1. Perhaps from xinit or fvwm, how can I know?
