Problem after update, can't acces sabnzbd anymore

[sander]

The problem is that it then won't run as a service

Have you tried? Make sure SAB is not running more for three minutes, start it as a service, and then type:

Code: Select all

tail -f ~/.sabnzbd/logs/sabnzbd.log

But also see my other posts ...

i'm getting the same error on a freshly installed ubuntu 12.04 when i try to start sab as service.

Code: Select all

sudo service sabnzbdplus start
 * Starting SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber                                         
** (sabnzbdplus:3010): WARNING **: Command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=c6efef1aac6c037ed42da78800000002 --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 1: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n

sab is happily running in the background, though.
i'm running sab as normal user, not as root.
could that be the problem?

is there even a problem?

I suspect something triggers this dbus-launch thing when the sabnzbdplus service is started (no clue how/what though), only to find it cannot access/start an X11 session. I cannot reproduce it, but a quick google search suggests the error message can be triggered by a number of seemingly random applications. Do you use a graphical interface? And if so, is the user running the sab service different from the one logged into the X session?

You could try running 'xhost +' before starting the service, to see if that makes any difference. Or maybe certain environment vars (such as DISPLAY or XAUTHORITY) are missing when the daemon is started through init (like in this topic).

yup, i'm running ubuntu desktop x64 and sab is running as the user that's logged in.
i've tried running as root but the error message doesn't go away or change.

nope, it didn't.

oh well, sab runs despite of the error so i guess it's not really a big deal.
hopefully somebody will figure this out because i don't like errors im my logs
