The Mac binary from https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/MacOS/job/Dolphin_Release_macos/ fails to start with the following error: ``` $ /Applications/dolphin.app/Contents/MacOS/dolphin "Session bus not found\nTo circumvent this problem try the following command (with Linux and bash)\nexport $(dbus-launch)" ``` I have installed `dbus` using Homebrew and started it using `brew services start dbus`, but the error persists. Please advise or fix, as I'm told it shouldn't require DBus on Mac.
Thanks for your bug report. One of my colleagues could confirm this problem as well. According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9066900/krusader-crashed-on-mac-osx-10-7-2, the same problem appeared with Krusader a few years ago. Could you try whether the solution presented (running launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist without sudo) does work? That'd be great.
I've tried doing that, but I don't have that launch agent, even though I have dbus installed. We should write a guide for Mac users on how to install and setup dbus and put it in the KDE wiki under Mac.
That seems like a good idea, but we'll need to be able to run dbus somehow first. Please try running 'echo $DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET' and '`brew --prefix qt`/bin/qdbus'. The first command should echo a valid path, e.g. /tmp/launch-EJDiyji/unix_domain_listener. The second command should show the available services, at least org.freedesktop.DBus. If this is not the case, then there's likely a problem with the installation of dbus. I'll dig a bit deeper and see what I can find.
After I also installed Qt using brew, I got this: $ echo $DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.CB7Bp27AZj/unix_domain_listener $ `brew --prefix qt`/bin/qdbus :1.3 org.freedesktop.DBus
