Bug#712093: marionnet: bus address error on start and 3 popups
Package: marionnet
Version: 0.90.6+bzr407-1
Followup-For: Bug #712093
Hello,
thanks for being so responsive.
I hadn't done anything as root. So no the daemon was not spawned as root.
Now I keyed marionnet-daemon in a root console. I got the welcome to marionnet
stanza with the ==== above and under. It seems the daemon is happy to be
spawned by root in a root console. No error message from the daemon this time.
Unfortunately the regular user under X could still not launch marionnet without
warning popups. And the terminal window shows :

=======================================================
** (marionnet:8775): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not
provided by any .service files
After closing the popups and the splash screen I initiated a project. That
seemed to work.
Then I wanted to add a host and it didn't work :
I right-clicked on "Machine" and selected "add".
The terminal window got :
In callback for signal activate, uncaught exception: Failure("File
\"gui/gui_bricks.ml\", line 431, characters 15-29")
Raised at file "pervasives.ml", line 22, characters 22-33

Called from file "gui/menu_factory.ml", line 141, characters 18-29
I can't tell if this is related to the previous messages and popups. May be it
should have been reported as another bug report, may be solving the first
solves all ?
Anyway. BTW I'd like to give more personal feedback :
If this software is somewhat "multipart" (gui, daemon, bus, lib, whatever) I'd
like the gui to give user friendly messages when starting. Like : "marionnet
could not connect to its 'daemon' server. Have you started it ? To start it do
this that..."
Even better the gui could launch the daemon without bothering the user.
I'd like to use (well... try) marionnet without requiring "to call" root to do
things. I've just tried that I can do kvm -cdrom DSL/dsl-4.4.10.iso -boot d -m
32m in a regular user terminal and quickly get a VM running with a working NAT
connection. No need for root to do this. Of course I don't know marionnet and
it may be another story. (btw 32m means 32 VM fit in 1G ? this is cool)
Final piece of personal opinion: I like softs like aptitude and Wireshark that
either proactively warn you friendly that not being root limits the features or
give you the possibility to 'su root' to get the full features.
I hope this is constructive feedback. Wasn't intended to be rude.
Have a nice week end
Pierre M.
