Hi people,
Running into dcopserve and tdelaunch failures.
I did all the usual things. deleted dop etc etc files, check perms and the like. Even created a new user.Different machines etc. Root runs with very little problem but still has those errors on occasion.
General question... Anyone else encounter this?
Kate,
There is an old bug resulting from an iceAuth issue that will prevent dcop from starting. I cannot recall the exact issue, but it was either an xorg or iceauth version change issue. Another possible problem is a change or misconfigured hostname. Have you changed that lately? I did a quick search and can't find a decent link to the iceauth issue I'm thinking about.
Maybe your google foo is better than mine there, but I recall it being a 2016 issue? (or maybe a year or two on either side). The search results I get show 2008-2009 range that isn't the problem I'm thinking of.

I had the same problem. Was a problem on libICE that store the dcop socket on different place. The solution was downgrade libICE.
Best Regards Christian

Some time in the last ~5 years, some bright mind somewhere made 'localhost' an illegal hostname in a display manager helper program (never did figure out how far down into the display manager called/child path it was). If this is the cause of your issue, change your hostname in ‘/etc/hostname’ from ‘localhost’ to something else and reboot.
Best, Michael
