Though the Totem adapter is a plugin for Totem, it uses the command line call
"totem
--enqueue" to enqueue files in Totem. This call, in turn, uses DBus to talk to
the
Totem process, and here occurs the problem you reported. You can check this
yourself
by running:
$ totem --enqueue <file>
If my guess is right, that should cause the same error.
The reason probably is that DBus is either not running or set up properly. In
general
you need a running X session to have DBus working. If you run
$ env | grep DBUS
you should see a line like
> DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-...,guid=...
If you don't see this line (though you should on typical desktop linux
systems), you
can start a DBus session bus manually, with:
$ eval ‘dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session‘
$ echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"
If you start Totem afterwards in the same shell, the error should be gone.

Nope your guess was not right, the error ONLY occurs when I enqueue a file(s)
from my
mobile phone.
$ env | grep DBUS gives me:
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-hCydkjKTFF,guid=... ->looks
good..
It also would have surprised me if dbus would not work properly as there are
many
other programs which use it.

I'll try to reproduce this in a karmic box as soon as possible.
