Package: smart-notifier Version: 0.28-3 Followup-For: Bug #639556 This killed X while loosing all the data on other terminals ... quite unhappy ...
My first thought was that, if this reload of dbus by smart-notifier postinst is needed for its functionality and if there is no safer way with X-server, please do not try to make this active via initscript and document that this require reboot in README.Debian. Then I find old discussion on dbus: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495257 Hmm... restarting dbus seems to be dangerous thing to do. Then I wonder what other tools are doing on my system: | grep 'invoke-rc.d *dbus' *.p* | avahi-daemon.postinst: invoke-rc.d dbus force-reload || true | bluez.postinst: invoke-rc.d dbus force-reload || true | dbus.postinst: invoke-rc.d dbus start || exit $? | dbus.prerm: invoke-rc.d dbus stop || exit $? | hal.postinst: invoke-rc.d dbus force-reload || true | hal.postrm: invoke-rc.d dbus force-reload || true | network-manager-gnome.postinst: invoke-rc.d dbus force-reload || true | network-manager.postinst: invoke-rc.d dbus force-reload || true | pommed.postinst: invoke-rc.d dbus force-reload || true | pommed.postrm: invoke-rc.d dbus force-reload || true | smart-notifier.postinst: invoke-rc.d dbus restart || true | system-tools-backends.postrm: invoke-rc.d dbus force-reload || true All other similar services except dbus itself uses "force-reload". Such typical script is: | # Ask the bus to reload the config file | if [ -x "/etc/init.d/dbus" ]; then | invoke-rc.d dbus force-reload || true | fi | ;; At least, "invoke-rc.d dbus restart" kills X now. Let me check if "invoke-rc.d dbus force-reload" is safer. ... (sending this as this before testing to avoid loosing data.)
