I tracked down another bug, I have got these services all not running on boot up:

bluetooth
ConsoleKit
yum-updatesd
avahi-daemon
haldaemon

After trying to start them /etc/init.d/ They just all refuse..

Its a problem as the screen lock does not work meaning the users desktop is not locked... That is not a good thing on a server..

But I found out why..

messagebus is NOT running. If I /etc/init.d/messagebus start, I then can fire up all these stopped services.

I added it back by chkconfig --add messagebus

My question is why did it get knocked out?

Answer ASL did it..

I just found out why, ASL now knocks out messagebus from desktop system/services

Surely it should just stop the service not disable it from starting up on a reboot thereby crippling a lot of services.

It never did this on Fedora 6, but does on Fedora 7

I had to modify /var/asl/lib/general_check.sh and remove messagebus.

Can this bug be looked at?

Thanks!

I think we've touched on this subject before, namely that X11 if it works at all under ASL is entirely by luck.Its designed specifically for web based hosting environments. We can make it work with X, I'd just need probably another 6 months and to narrow the focus to one or probably two desktops initial. With a few more developers we could probably even stay on top of all the updates from Fedora (its huuuuge compared to centos). All I need is enough customer interest to justify the investment.
