ERROR: dbus: cannot claim org.freedesktop.miracle.wifi bus-name: -13

[Hans-Maulwurf]

When I start 'sudo miracle-wifid' I get this error

ERROR: dbus: cannot claim org.freedesktop.miracle.wifi bus-name: -13 (manager_dbus_connect() in wifid-dbus.c:898)

Is there something missing in my system?

[albfan]

Did you install dbus policy?

check if /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.miracle.conf exists. It should be installed by sudo make install on lastest commits. if you use cmake, remove CMakeCache.txt because if it is older, install instructions will not be updated (quirks of cmake).

I used yaourt to install it from the aur. but this file seems to be missing on my filesystem. but when I reinstall the aur-package, it says
Eingetragene backup Datei nicht im Paket : etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.miracle.conf
which means the file even does not exists in the package

[albfan]

You are right. I have fixed aur miraclecast project.

albfan/aur-miraclecast@1f548b2

aur package is updated too.

Feel free to submit PR on albfan/aur-miraclecast if you detect another problem and you find a solution. We can discuss there.

Is it solved now? close this issue if so

[Hans-Maulwurf]

this error is solved now, yes. but i followed ur instructions at the readme (and the linked comment "using as peer") but how do I get my screen mirrored to the TV?

I stop NetworkManager.service, start miracle-wifid and then miracle-wifictl. there i use link, list, p2p-scan and connect (to my TV). the TV and the terminal say: connected. But how do i stream the content of my monitor to the TV? in your linked comment, you give a line with vlc, but when I execute this line, nothing happenes.

[albfan]

Great then. Close this and see #4 for an epic issue. The Q&D there works, but is not implemented yet.

[WillemPi3]

I have to update miraclecast after every reboot to avoid this error.

[albfan]

@WillemPi3 if you have several miracle-wifid running this could happen as first one takes dbus control and the others cannot. Check if that's the problem

[WillemPi3]

@albfan that was indeed the case. Thanks!

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.miracle.conf wasn't created at my kali using autotools.
I had no problems using cmake.

[albfan]

@trietend It should install https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast/blob/master/res/Makefile.am#L5

clean all:

$ ./autogen.sh g && make distclean
$ ./autogen.sh g && make && make install

and try again

[trietend]

this works thanks :)
