* Problem with installation of Octave @ 2019-01-08 11:49 Arjen Markus 2019-01-08 12:24 ` Marco Atzeri 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: Arjen Markus @ 2019-01-08 11:49 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Andrey Repin Hello, when I updated my installation of Cygwin with Octave (4.2.2 to be precise) and tried running it (while having an X server running), I ran into a problem with D-bus: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/etc/machine-id": No such file or directory See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue. Apparently, installing Octave was not enough, I had to install D-bus separately. When I had done that, the problem was gone. I guess this is an omission in the dependencies for Octave. Note: this problem occurred both with and without the GUI that Octave comes with (octave --no-gui gave the same error messages).

There is no command "xinit". I start the X server using the command "X" and that seems to work fine. However, I do see a pacakge xinit now that I explicitly look for it.

For example, when running Octave I get an error that dbus wasn't replying. Now, if within the open xterm window I type dbus-launch and then I run octave, there is no error. I noticed that running dbus-launch in the xterm window creates three environment variables beginning with DBUS_ but the default startup only creates the first one, DBUS_SESSION or some such.
