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

Hi Alberto,
I got this ERROR when running

$ sudo miracle-wifid --wpa-bindir /sbin &

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

And I found #20 ,but couldn't find your answer about miracle-wifi.sh in /res dir

wifi device also supports p2p.

the system is ubuntu 16.04, systemd 229

Thanks for help

Nowadays you just need to stop your network service and miraclecast starts wpa_supplicant

Use the elegant:

$ sudo systemctl stop Network.service

or the nasty:

$ sudo killall wpa_supplicant

All them should setup your environment correctly to run miraclecast succesfully.

Thanks a lot

after this ,sudo miracle-wifid --wpa-bindir /sbin & no error

I thought the wifi icon was still gone and wifi was still closed

then sudo miracle-wifictl

the wifi icon was still gone and wifi was still cloesed

then I got nothing when I inputted p2p-scan

No peers found

is wifi open when I input p2p-scan?

[albfan]

miracle-wifictl is to use laptop as source. See #4 if you are interested in.

to use laptop as sink (showing screen from other device) use:

$ sudo miracle-sinkctl

or (for control source device from sink)

$ sudo miracle-sinkctl --uibc

Thanks again

I finally got it ,and I connected my android phone successfully.Before that ,I used my iphone,it seemed couldn't work well in IOS.

However using this sudo miracle-sinkctl ,connect the android phone . How can I get the andoid screen? Is it auto to open?

[albfan]

Check the test-viewer.sh on res/ directory. Some gst plugins are needed to see the streaming. More details on README.md prerrequisites section.

About apple devices, they don't implement miracast protocol, so it's not possible to use them with miraclecast.

If you want to play around with iThings and airplay check https://github.com/jamesdlow/open-airplay

If you don't have a Mac, Play2Wifi seems a good choice (maybe out of date)

[pimail1501]

OK,thank you very much ,you are so kind.

Hi, I'm trying to run miraclecast in fedora 24, but I'm getting the error:
ERROR: dbus: cannot claim org.freedesktop.miracle.wifi bus-name: -13 (manager_dbus_connect() in wifid-dbus.c:898)
when I run miracle-wifid, I tried every all the suggestions here, but no luck, still same error.

I think the problem is with fedora...can you tell if there is a solution for miraclecast to run in fedora_

[albfan]

@laar789 Did you follow install instructions on README.md? Did you copy dbus policy on /etc?

[laar789]

Thank you a lot, that was the step I miss, sorry...
Now, I have up miracle-wifid and miracle-sinkctl running, but how I do "Pair your machine with other miracast device (mirroring)", because I put in my tablet the wifi-direct option, then select my miraclecast (localhos.localdomain) and the tablet says "Invited" and it doesn't connect. In miracle-sinkctl i do a "List" and show my device:
[miraclectl] # list
LINK INTERFACE FRIENDLY-NAME
3 wlp2s0 localhost.localdomain

LINK PEER-ID FRIENDLY-NAME CONNECTED
3 9a:3b:16:27:0d:45@3 Pipo_p4_luis no
3 3e:bb:fd:43:bb:0a@3 Galaxy J2 no

But I can't find the way to accept the invitation....

[albfan]

Wifi Direct is the way both devices see each other (create a net between them) but miracast is the protocol that uses that net and do the screen mirroring.

This is the screen where I start miracast protocol on my android

You can install an app to take you to screen mirroring

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattgmg.miracastwidget&hl=es

But some phones simply don't implement it. I can confirm for example on a samsung galaxy grand2. Where that link don't do anything at all (although it takes you to screen mirroring display).

@laar789 seems fedora do not have enabled wifi p2p on wpa_supplicant. See #101 (comment)
